ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> MINUTES FOR MARCH 15, 1999 <br /> • (#8) ROBERT ERICKSON, 364 and 372 WESTLAKE STREET, LOT LINE REARRANGEMENT, <br /> 8:38 p.m. -9:10 p.m. <br /> Robert Erickson, Applicant, along with Mike Cronin, were present. <br /> Weinberger stated the Planning Commission reviewed the sketch plan for the proposed lot line <br /> rearrangement at their November, 1998 meeting. The Applicant has revised the plans slightly. <br /> Currently Lot 9, the 364 property, is a narrow parcel consisting of.65 acres, and the property <br /> located at 372 Westlake Street consists of 2.01 acres, which makes it a conforming lot. 372 <br /> Westlake Street has a residence currently situated on it, which is being occupied at the present <br /> time, along with two guest cabins. The lot was assessed for only one sewer unit although it does <br /> contain the three separate dwelling units. The property currently is not hooked up to sanitary sewer, <br /> and the owners have indicated that they will hookup to sanitary sewer upon approval of their <br /> application. <br /> Staff is recommending approval of the lot line rearrangement as proposed on the survey subject <br /> to the Applicant granting easements 10 feet along the exterior property lines and five feet along <br /> interior property lines; removal of all existing structures on both the 364 and 372 Westlake Street <br /> prior to the filing of the lot line rearrangement; the on-site sewage treatment system located on <br /> the 372 lot be removed and the grade restored to the existing conditions shown on the survey; <br /> granting of variances for both lots for lot area to create buildable lots; and that the property <br /> located at 372 Westlake Street pay a SAC fee and connect to sanitary sewer. <br /> Mike Cronin requested that the Planning Commission implement the previous approval subject to <br /> City Staffs recommendations. <br /> • There were no public comments. <br /> Hawn indicated she has a problem with taking a conforming lot and making it non-conforming. <br /> Smith indicated there is an issue regarding sewer. <br /> Hawn inquired whether the assessment has ever been paid for the hookup. <br /> Cronin indicated that the assessment has been paid but not the SAC charge. <br /> McMillan stated the lot should not require further building variances and creates a workable building <br /> pad. <br /> Lindquist commented that perhaps the condition that no further variances will be granted on this <br /> property. <br /> McMillan moved to recommend approval of Application #2465, 364 and 372 Westlake <br /> Street, for a lot line rearrangement subject to City Staffs recommendations #1-5 outlined in <br /> their March 4, 1999 memorandum, granting of a lot area variance and average lakeshore <br /> setback to allow both lots to be developed without further Planning Commission and <br /> City Council review; and further subject to the residence being removed by October, 1999. <br /> Erickson stated the previous owner has the right to occupy the residence until October of this <br /> year. <br /> Cronin indicated the Applicant would like to keep the residence until the lot is sold. Cronin <br /> stated they would be willing to remove all structures at 372 Westlake Street as soon as the <br /> Page 11 <br />
