MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION Tuesday, February 16, 2021 6:00 o'clock p.m. Personally, Bollis is fine moving this to Council as a sketch plan with the feedback. Ressler is not opposed to that. Erickson would be comfortable moving it on to the City Council. 13. UPDATE ON FEBRUARY 8, 2021 CITY COUNCIL MEETING Barnhart shared applications the Planning Commission reviewed in January were all reviewed by the City Council on February 8. The preliminary plat at 1700 Shoreline (recommended approval 6-1), the Council directed Staff to draft a resolution of approval with a vote of 4-0. Roof coverage variance at 3145 North Shore Drive (PC recommended approval) and the City Council approved that on consent 4-0. CUP for plumbing at 3425 Thoroughbred was approved. The variance for Average Lakeshore Setback at 2967 Casco was recommended to deny by Staff, Planning Commission recommended approval, and the City Council approved it 4-0. Text amendment related to appeals was approved and the text amendment related to the dry buildable definition was approved by the City Council. Ressler asked if the City Council approved the proposed plat for the Jacobs Estate. Barnhart said the City Council directed Staff to draft a resolution for approval and they have not technically approved it yet. The main issue the City Council had was the turn lane requirement and requested some additional feedback from the County in terms of what is required and he received that earlier today. He thinks that question has been answered and there will not be any impact to the neighbor's property. Bollis asked if the County requires a turn lane. Barnhart replied yes for westbound traffic. ADJOURNMENT Kirchner moved, Erickson seconded, to adjourn the Planning Commission Meeting. VOTE: Ayes 6, Nays 0. The Orono Planning Commission meeting adjourned at 10:02 p.m. ATTEST: Page 38 of 38
