MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OP JANUARY 21, 1985 PAGE 2 #883 GARY PRINTUP Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron explained that with the pending Crystal Bay Sewer Project underway, that it was staff's opinion that this variance not be approved unless the sewer project is approved. Gaffron noted that Prinfap does wish to add bedrooms and a bathroom. .. Sime stated that he would not be able to approve this application unti 1 he was positive that the Crystal Bay Sewer Project is confirmed. Sime stated that the intent of the Council is that the tax payers pay half of the bill for sewer installation into the Crystal Bay area and that this may not happen if the general tax payer may not want that ext ra bill. Gary Printup stated that he has a contractor that can do the work right away and when spring comes that contractor will be working on another project. Rovegno suggested directing staff not to present the application to Council until there has been an rffirmative determination that the Crystal Bay Sewer Project will commence and so that the timing is such that the sewer construction would bo concurrent with the proposed addition. Rovegno stated that if the Crystal Bay Sewer Project doesn't get appioval, then the Planning Commission's recommendation would be for denial. Rovegno moved, Sime seconded, to recommend approval of this variance application contingent upon the Crystal Bay Sewer Project becoming a reality; if such sewer project does not happen, then Planning Commission recommends denial of the application based on the inadequacy of the lot to support an adequate septic system indefinitely.
