ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD AUGUST 20, 1990 <br />ZONING FILE #1577-TORRISON CONTINUED <br />possibility of a lot line rearrangement with the neighbor to the <br />north. However, it was determined that the neighbor to the north <br />would not maintain a minimum of two acres." <br />Bellows asked whether the neighbors to the north had <br />requested screening. <br />Gaffron replied, "No, they did not make any specific <br />requests." He stated that staff is concerned about drainage. He <br />said, "We need to be sure that drainage flows downhill, rather <br />than across to the neighboring property to the east." <br />Mr. Torrison said. "The tennis court will be clay/crushed <br />stone which drains straight through. Drainage should not be an <br />issue. Moving the tennis court closer to the north lot line will <br />provide a better orientation because of the topography. I would <br />prefer to be 5' from the north lot line, but I can live with 10'. <br />Every foot that we come south, I have to cut down 100 s.f. of <br />crees." <br />Bellows asked Gaffron for his opinion regarding the existing <br />drainage and utility easement. <br />Gaffron replied, "In my opinion, if we are going to encroach <br />into the easement, we should notify the utility companies that <br />may wish to use the easement. I agree with the Public Works <br />Director regarding encroachment into the easement. However, I do <br />not believe that a hold harmless agreement is necessary." <br />Rowlette asked whether there will be lights for the tennis <br />court. <br />Mr. Torrison replied, "No, there will be no lights." <br />Gaffron asked Mr. Torrison if the neighbor to the north <br />objected to the tennis court location in relation to his property <br />line. <br />Mr. Torrison replied, "The <br />less of the end of the tennis <br />located." <br />neighbor to the north will see <br />court the further north it is <br />Johnson said, "I am concerned about the tennis court <br />location relative to the property lines. Mr. Torrison has 3.2 <br />acres. <br />Mr. Torrison replied, "That is the only location on the lot <br />that is suitable for building the tennis court. Placing the <br />court anywhere else would require more tree removal and would not <br />provide the right orientation." <br />- 21 -
