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 />
