MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> Monday,June 17,2019 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Curtis stated a new home is being designed for building permit on the site. This project will involve the <br /> export of approximately 4,000 cubic yards of material in preparation for construction of a new home <br /> foundation and subgrade sport court area. The applicant proposes to export this from the site out of the <br /> City. The proposed home will not be out of character with the neighborhood. <br /> The applicant is not proposing to change the grade but rather remove excess material from the site. <br /> Public comments were received from the homeowners' association and are included in the packet. <br /> Staff recommends approval of the Interim Use Permit. Staff recommends the applicant provide photo <br /> documentation of the condition of the City's roads on the route prior to hauling. Repair to any damaged <br /> roadway will be the responsibility of the contractor. <br /> The Planning Commission had no questions for Staff. <br /> Greg Jurvakainen, L. Cramer Builders,stated they are planning to build a new home and are looking to <br /> export the fill that is coming from the subgrade sport court which is located partially under the garage but <br /> also comes out into the proposed auto port. The intent of City Code limits the grade not only on the lot <br /> but pool terracing, which limits the use of the excavated dirt on the site. As a result,the material has to be <br /> exported off the site. <br /> Chair Ressler opened the public hearing at 8:35 p.m. <br /> There were no public comments regarding this application. <br /> Chair Ressler closed the public hearing at 8:35 p.m. <br /> Libby noted only one written public response was received which recommended that the builder meet and <br /> discuss the project with the homeowners in the area and damage to the roadway,probably relates to the <br /> traffic involved with exporting the material. Libby asked whether any of those meetings have occurred. <br /> Curtis stated that individual is out of town. <br /> Jurvakainen indicated he did reach out to him and that he seemed to have the understanding that there was <br /> a homeowners' association. As a common courtesy, L. Cramer typically sends a letter to the neighbors, <br /> but there is actually not a homeowners' association in this case. Jurvakainen stated he understands the <br /> concern relating to damage to the road, but that he does not believe there is any homeowners' association <br /> tied to this home or an architectural review committee. <br /> Curtis stated Fox Street and Leaf Street is County Road 84 going over to Old Crystal Bay Road, which is <br /> a public road. This residence is the third lot in on the private portion of Fox Street and there currently is <br /> another home being built on that section of road. As far as the City is concerned,they want to maintain <br /> the public road as it is, but if it is a private road,the City is not going to enforce financial restitution on <br /> the builder and it is up to the residents to do that. <br /> Jurvakainen stated his understanding is that there is a loose handshake agreement relating to road <br /> maintenance and that his client would be more than prepared or happy to share in those costs. <br /> Page 17 of 24 <br />
