MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, June 8, 2015 7:00 o'clock p.m. 6. #15-3732 AMEND SECTION 78-1 DEFINITIONS — RE: BARBER SHOPS AND BEAUTY SHOPS — ORDINANCE NO. 150 (continued) Curtis stated that is not on the current list but it could be added. Curtis stated that might be more cosmetic surgery or a medical type service and that Staff will need to look into that a little further. Walsh moved, Printup seconded, to adopt ORDINANCE NO. 150, Third Series, an Ordinance Adding New Language to Chapter 78, Section 78-1, Orono City Code Regarding the Definition of Barber Shops and Beauty Shops. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 7. #15-3734 CHRISTOPHER BOLLIS, 200/350 STUBBS BAY ROAD NORTH, SKETCH PLAN REVIEW Christopher Bollis, Applicant, was present. Senior Planner Gaffron stated the applicant has presented a sketch plan proposing that a 31 -acre piece of property comprised of two separate tax parcels be divided into seven single-family residential lots and one larger parcel to the southwest for potential future development. The properties are in the RR -1B, rural residential district. The larger parcel could be served by either Stubbs Bay Road to the north or the extension of Kintyre Lane that is proposed to serve the seven new lots would be served by a new private road and cul-de-sac that would be an extension of Kintyre Lane. All lots would be served by on-site sewage treatment systems and private wells. As it relates to the Comprehensive Plan, it is in conformity with the guiding in this area consisting of one house per acres. There is sufficient dry buildable for each of the seven lots. Each proposed lot appears to have 2.0 dry acres buildable. Some of the lots, based on topography and location of wetlands, might be more difficult than others to actually locate houses on. Gaffron stated this is a single-family development that is consistent with what is around it. To the direct south is a 2 -acre subdivision known as Kintyre, which has six lots. Each of those lots is two acres and, in some cases, a little bit smaller. That development was done as a PRD. From Staff's perspective, this development does not necessarily have to be a PRD and can be a standard plat. Gaffron stated the northerly parcel located at 350 Stubbs Bay Road has an existing house which accesses through a private driveway. The driveway also currently serves another house. One of the proposed changes to the neighborhood would be that that driveway would no longer serve a house. The expectation is that a new driveway would be constructed down to the cul-de-sac. As it relates to the general site characteristics, there is a road coining from Watertown Road known as Kintyre Road. The drainage generally is to the east and to the northeast. There are high points near the road and the site is generally much lower to the back. There is a fairly large wetland that extends past the property boundaries. There is also another wetland that will have an impact on the proposed development as it relates to Lots 6 and 7. The Planning Commission reviewed this at their May meeting and had some initial concerns about how Lots 6 and 7 would have enough land for two septic sites as well as a house. Page 3 of 19
