MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MONDAY, MARCH 19, 2018 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />Thiesse requested Mr. Stickney address the issue of the AC units. <br />Stickney indicated the owner would love to have those stay and that they would work out an easement <br />with the owner of the new lot. Stickney stated the building has been there a long time and is very well <br />built and located in the woods. <br />Thiesse asked what will happen to the trees between the house and the lake. <br />Stickney indicated they will clear a site pad and that they are only building one house, one driveway, and <br />one septic site. Stickney stated if the lot was to be further subdivided, then a sewer line might be <br />appropriate, but that there is a big buffer in between the sewer site and the lake. <br />Judson Dayton, Applicant, stated this is not a development but is merely taking one piece of property and <br />placing a house on a large parcel. Dayton stated normally sewer lines are connected to multiple new <br />homes and that the current house is hooked up to a drain field and septic system. If the waiver is not <br />granted, it would be necessary to bring in sewer almost 1,500 feet for one house. Dayton stated they have <br />performed all the septic tests and have plenty of alternative sites available. Dayton stated he would be <br />happy to address the sewer issue at the time more homes are built. <br />Landgraver noted the Watershed District has raised the issue of the two adjacent lots, with a question <br />towards whether those will be developed. Landgraver asked what the intent is for those two adjacent lots. <br />Curtis pointed out the two adjacent lots. Curtis noted they are existing lots that can be built on today with <br />septic systems and are not part of the subdivision. The Watershed District is looking at it with regard to <br />ownership status. Curtis stated to her understanding that is still being discussed from a watershed rules <br />standpoint. <br />Stickney noted the Watershed District also saw an earlier plan that depicted two homes. <br />Landgraver asked if the two adjacent lots are required to be hooked up to city sewer. <br />Curtis indicated they are not. <br />Lemke asked whether there is any septic system for the horse barn. <br />Dayton stated the barn connects into the guest house and there is a septic system there. Dayton indicated <br />it is not a permanent residence and there are no horses. <br />Lemke asked whether it is a totally separate system from the house. <br />Page 4 of 23 <br />
