• t <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD AUGUST 20, 1990 <br />ZONING FILE #1583-FRANKLIN CONTINUED <br />Mr. Franklin replied, "I v/ould prefer to have the area <br />privately owned." <br />With respect to the road, Mabusth asked, "Would the Planning <br />Commission prefer to see this private drive as an outlot within <br />an outlot?" <br />Hanson stated that he would prefer to see a public road, <br />rather than private. <br />Mabusth stated that the City will only condemn up to the <br />property boundary and that the cul-de-sac would be public. <br />Bellows said, "There will be four units on this private <br />road. Will it be necessary to have the road 24’ wide?" <br />Mabusth replied, "That has not been determined yet. V^e can <br />estimate that the road will be 22’ to 24’ wide v;ith an 80' <br />diameter cul-de-sac. We will need an opinion from the City <br />Engineer." <br />Fellows said, "I am impressed also \/ith this proposal. It <br />has come a long \/ay. Ho\/ever, I am still concerned about Baldur <br />Park Road, which is sub-standard and unsafe. I have a hard time <br />supporting any intensification unless the City takes <br />responsibility for the road. I feel that the road issue presents <br />an unfair circumstance for Mr. Franklin." <br />Mabusth said, "I believe that if a formal proposal for <br />development is presented to the City, it will have to take a <br />serious look at the road." <br />Johnson asked about meeting setbacks and establishinc lot- <br />lines. <br />Mabusth replied, "Building pads will be created and they <br />will be called lots. There will be built-in setbacks and defined <br />lots for each house. Everything around the pad \/ill bo an open <br />space outlot. Your consensus is that you want the road that <br />leads from the cul-de-sac to also be defined as an outlot." <br />Bellows said, "The sites v/ould be sold as pre-constructed <br />units." <br />Mabusth said. "That is correct. The individual will buy <br />\/hat is defined as a lot, a footprint, and a share of the open <br />space commons area." <br />Bellov/s said, "Whether the individual purchases the <br />footprint prior to or after construction, it is a unit he buys. <br />It is not his option to design a building for that lot." <br />- 31 -
