MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, June 8, 2015 7:00 o'clock p.m. 7. ##15-3734 CHRISTOPHER BOLLIS, 2001350 STUBBS BAY ROAD NORTH, SKETCH PLAN REVIEW (continued) Bollis indicated they did look at different locations for the road, but what is nice about where the cul-de-sac is that it ends is a natural spot, which would create walkout lots for the lots in that area. Bollis pointed out the contours of the area on the overhead. Levang asked if the proposed homes will be similar to the existing homes on Kintyre. Bollis indicated he is not a builder, but that in his view the homes should fit the topography of the land and conform to the City's building standards. Bollis stated there will be an architectural review committee with this development. Bollis indicated he is also planning on building in the subdivision and that he wants to make sure it will be a nice development. Printup indicated he is okay with the concept moving forward but that there will be some tweaks that will need to happen with the septic sites. Levang asked if this area was farmed in the past. Bollis indicated it was part of the original Stubbs farm. Walsh stated he is in agreement with Council Member Printup and that the proposed layout looks reasonable. Cornick stated he would like to save the pine trees as much as possible. Cornick stated they appear to be in the middle of the proposed road. Bollis indicated the majority of it is overgrown arborvitaes. Bollis pointed out the two lots on the cul-de-sac. Bollis stated what happens ultimately with the cul-de-sac depends on the developer. Gaffron stated the homeowners association of Kintyre Lane will have a say in what happens with the cul-de-sac. The City Council took no formal action on this item. S. #15-3738 KUHL DESIGN BUILD ON BEHALF OF JOHN AND CYNDY BOWLSBY, 1025 SPRING HILL ROAD — VARIANCES Dan Murphy, Kuhl Design, was present. Curtis stated the current owners purchased this property in 2014 and are planning on making some changes to the home. Curtis noted the average lakeshore setback line runs through approximately the center of the home. All three of the projects are proposed to encroach partially or entirely ahead of the average lakeshore setback line. The applicant is requesting variances in order to construct an addition to the existing home on the east, structural modifications to an existing portion of the west side of the home, and construct a lake yard pool within the average lakeshore setback and within the required 100 -foot setback from Long Lake.
