MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />Tuesday, February 18, 2020 <br />6:00 p.m. <br />Ressler stated that the Commission discussion are the items that Commissioner Erickson outlined from <br />the staff report. He stated that he would also support of all three issues for consideration from the staff <br />report. <br />Bollis stated that he likes the overall layout and feels it makes sense to him. He stated that conservation <br />design is the only thing that he would object to not going through. <br />Thiesse asked if he would support doing conservation only on the front two lots. <br />Bollis agreed that would make sense. <br />Thiesse stated that Mr. Newell is improving the first part of the driveway and asked if the City had any <br />jurisdiction on him changing the existing driveway since it is already there. <br />Barnhart stated that it is already there, but generally, what the City tries to do with subdivisions is <br />improve existing conditions and non -conformities, so they do look to make these types of improvements. <br />Thiesse stated that the City are sticklers for this type of thing and encouraged Mr. Newell to be prepared <br />to defend his decision. <br />Mr. Newell stated that he is a landscape architect from Lake Tahoe so he has experience with watersheds <br />and collection. He explained the reasons for the cul-de-sac placement to allow for a silt pond. <br />Thiesse stated that he understands, but reiterated that it doesn't meet the City standards so he will need to <br />be ready to defend it when the time comes. <br />Ressler noted that this discussion may be moot if Lot 3 ends up being sold, but hoped that the feedback <br />from the Commission was helpful to Mr. Newell. <br />Mr. Newell stated that the discussion was very helpful to him. <br />7. LA19-000102 KEVIN CLARK, SAMBATEK,135 ORONO ORCHARD ROAD NORTH, <br />SKETCH PLAN, 8:32 P.M. — 9:18 P.M. <br />Kevin Clark, Applicant, was present. <br />Staff presented a summary of packet information. <br />Bollis asked for details of the lot width for Lot 2. <br />Barnhart stated that it is measured at the building setback line. <br />Bollis asked if the City encountered this type of thing frequently with pie shaped or cul-de-sac lots. <br />Barnhart stated that is true and the City has approved some subdivisions that have reduced width because <br />of the nature of the cul-de-sac. He stated that he is not too alarmed by it, but wanted to call it to the <br />Commission's attention. <br />Page 17 of 30 <br />
