MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, August 28, 2006 7:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ (#06-3219, Edson Spencer, Continued) Ordway stated originally these two lots were separated and were combined by Mr. Spencer and that Mr. Spencer is now requesting the two lots be split again. Murphy stated approval of the plat does not require a decision on the road. Turner stated the resolution before the Council says the existing roadway shall be widened to 20 feet and would need to be modified if the Council approves a width other than the 20 feet. Gaffron stated this is a preliminary plat resolution and recommended that if the property owners are not required to widen the roadway to 20 feet, that language should be deleted. Gaffron noted another resolution would be before the Council once the applicants request final plat approval. Murphy moved, Peterson seconded, Application #06-3219, Edson Spencer, 1135 Spring Hill Road, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 5500, a Resolution granting preliminary approval of a Class II subdivision for property located at 1135 Spring Hill Road, with the roadway being left at 17 feet. Sansevere indicated he would be opposed to that motion since it does not require the property owners to increase the width of the roadway at some point in the future. Sansevere inquired how long the driveway is. Grant noted the roadway is approximately three-tenths of a mile in length. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 1, Sansevere Opposed. 12. #06-3220 JULE AND ELIZABETH HANNAFORD, 1220 BRACKETTS POINT ROAD – VARIANCE Jule and Elizabeth Hannaford, Applicants, were present. Curtis stated the applicants are proposing to remove the existing deck and construct a new deck which will be 4.5 feet closer to the lake, have a lower profile when viewed form the lake, and become more functional for the property owners. A new rear (street) stoop is also proposed. As part of this application, the two-foot wide concrete path within 75 feet of the lake will be removed as well as other miscellaneous hardcover on the property. The Planning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend approval of hardcover and lake setback variances to allow reconstruction of a new deck within the footprint of the existing deck provided the applicants remove all of the hardcover elements as initially proposed. ______________________________________________________________________________ PAGE 13 Item #02 - CC Agenda 09/11/06 Approval Of Minutes 08/28/06[Page 13 of 19]
