MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,March 9,2020 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> Mr. Gamble said that for the north and south lots it is in the middle of the lagoon.He stated it was unique <br /> that both owners are thinking about doing something.Neither of them are buyers;they are both sellers.It <br /> seems unusual that something cannot happen to those pieces of property such as different zoning. <br /> Walsh indicated the City would have to change zoning and density. <br /> Mr. Gamble suggested keeping the zoning.He said the houses to the south are like all the neighbors' <br /> houses--smaller,nonconforming lots--so it is not asking for a change. <br /> Walsh noted there are a lot of neighborhoods similar to that: several small houses and a large house. <br /> Crosby asked what the width of the two lots was. <br /> Mr. Gamble said the Shoreline Drive is 125 feet. When you get to the 2480 address,it bumps out bigger. <br /> Barnhart indicated 2474,north of the inlet,is about 136 feet; 2480,north of the inlet,is about 121 feet. <br /> The requirement is 100 feet.For the west side property south of the inlet, it is 124 feet,and the width <br /> requirement is 140 feet. On the east side,the measurement is 155 and the requirement is 140 feet. <br /> Barnhart said he did not know how to measure something when it has three sides but it is something that <br /> can be dug into. <br /> Johnson, Walsh,and Seals said they did not see how the City had a path for Mr.Gamble to follow for a <br /> subdivision. <br /> Crosby noted that there would be hardcover issues on the south lots. <br /> Rief said if there was a single buyer who would combine the lots,build one house on the peninsula and <br /> then subdivide the top two,that would make it conforming. <br /> Crosby noted the bottom two were the only ones in compliance currently. <br /> Rief indicated if one owner was not willing to buy the other owner out,the scenario would not work. <br /> Crosby added that the entrance would then need to come off of Shoreline Drive. <br /> Mr. Gamble stated there is an entrance off of Shoreline Drive.The County put in curb cuts for the lots so <br /> there is access. <br /> Walsh reiterated the City Council did not have a path for the applicant. <br /> Page 14 of 18 <br />
