MIhTUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> MEETING HELD ON JUNE 16, 1997 <br /> (#13 -#2240 Jim Waters Sketch Plan- Continued) <br /> Waters indicated that the use of sketch plan 2 would not require a PRD. <br /> Lindquist and Smith felt sketch plan 3 made most sense. <br /> McMillan said she preferred Pither sketch plan 3 or two acre septics. She did not support <br /> mixing two acre and one acre zoning. <br /> Lindquist said he felt all of the lots should be sewered or not be sewered. <br /> Waters said he would need to speak with the City Engineer. He noted that the septic <br /> systems would not serve the public. <br /> McMillan said she was concerned with removal of trees and creating more traffic. <br /> Schroeder said the perimeter buffering is reminescent of Sugar Woods in maintaining the <br /> trees. He saw sketch plan 3 as having similarities to the Sugar Woods development plan. <br /> He would prefer less lots but understands the economical ramifications. Schroeder said he <br /> would prefer 16 sewered lots versus following the MUSA boundary. <br /> Stoddard indicated that this would follow the concept presented in sketch plan 1 with <br /> MUSA and 17 lots. Schroeder agreed but said he would prefer to see more clustering and <br /> open spaces as shown in sketch plan 3. Waters acknowledged that more is accomplished <br /> under sketch plan 3. <br /> Stoddard inquired whether there would be demand for homes shown in sketch plan 3 <br /> versus sketch plan 1. Waters said he feels that plan would work and either plan would <br /> sell. He felt the difference came to tree preservation and sewer in the street that would <br /> not be used in the immediate future. <br /> McMillan noted that three lots in sketch plan 3 were less than 40,000 s.f and asked the <br /> reasoning behind it. Waters said the lots could be enlarged by diminishing the outlot, but <br /> he was trying to create more common areas with walking paths and eliminate creating one <br /> riparian lot. He does not wish to see a boat dock but possibly a fishing dock only. <br /> Schroeder indicated that a homeowners association might request such a dock for boats. <br /> Gaffron said the Shoreland Ordinance would prevent that from occurring. <br /> Schroeder asked if Waters was considering walking trails. Waters said he would not want <br /> hard surface trails. <br /> ?1 <br />
