MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, November 18, 2019 <br />6:30 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 44 of 46 <br /> <br />Thiesse said the existing Baldur Park is 30 and he is a 30 person. <br /> <br />McCutcheon said he would not want to go narrower. <br /> <br />Barnhart asked if the Commission supports a waiver from the conservation design requirement. The code <br />requires a conservation design when you have a project that is more than 7 acres or has density of less <br />than 2-acre lots. Staff supports a waiver because of what they are trying to protect from a view standpoint. <br />The setbacks already protect quite a bit of the lake standards. <br /> <br />Thiesse noted this area is a pretty prominent point of the lake but he did not know what could be gained <br />from it. <br /> <br />Barnhart responded you would get a tree inventory that will probably show there's quite a bit of <br />cottonwoods. <br /> <br />Gettman said it is already very limited. <br /> <br />Barnhart stated the main thing you'd get would be a tree inventory, but also soil work would be required <br />and any wetlands, which has already been done. <br /> <br />Bollis said on the conservation design requirement, that can push the project in a different route because it <br />is going to talk about it being a peninsula and a point. Road rights-of-way are going to get smaller, et <br />cetera, based on the conservation design. He does not see why it should be waived in this situation; it is <br />not waived on other projects. <br /> <br />Barnhart noted that it actually is waived on some projects. <br /> <br />Bollis repeated he does not see a need to waive it here. <br /> <br />Erickson said for this parcel his suggested density is 0 houses per acre. They have a good site for a piece <br />of road with a cul-de-sac at the end, and that would be a reasonable use for this site. <br /> <br />Ressler commented maybe having a second or third house on the end contingent upon having a 30-foot <br />road and a cul-de-sac. <br /> <br />Erickson said, looking at the outline, neither of the houses should be built and they need to come back <br />with another plan to show what they are going to do beyond the cul-de-sac. But what is in front of the <br />Commission today is a road and a cul-de-sac. <br /> <br />Barnhart stated that he is not hearing support to waive the conservation design requirements. <br />
