aSSSM r;- ■ 1 MtNUTES OP A PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON JULY 21, 1980 - PAGE 3 Mabusth reviewed the subdivision for the Commission because of the lengthy time lapse since this body recommended preliminary approval. Adams questioned the logic behind not requiring a park dedication fee for a newly created residential lot ~ wouldn't a new residential lot result in an additional burden on the City park system? Mabusth stated that since a major portion of the land involved in the subdivision was donated to the State for nature purposes, Council had waived the normal park fee WOLSFELD LAKE CO. Brown Rd & Cty Rd S\ FINAL SUBDIVISION i (#456) ! Fredim moved to recommend approval of the Wolsfeld Lake Company's plat subject to the findings and conditions cited in the staff resolution prepared for this meeting Motion seconded by Adams. Vote: Ayes (5), Nays (0). Motion passed unanimously. Jack Rhode and James Swenson were present. There were no other persons present to address this application. Staff noted for the record that Mr. Becker, Mr. Busse and all others on the Property Owners list had been notified of this PC meeting b^ mail, and that this date of review was publicly announced at the June 30, 1980 Council meeting. Swenson presented to the Commission a revised site plan that he observed was a direct result of a conversation with the City Planner. Olson advised him that the original plan submitted with this application would require a lakeshore setback and a side yard setback variance cuid a major hardcover variance of 17fs%. JACK RHODE 1410 Bohns Pt. Rd. VARIANCE (#546) Swenson reviewed the new plan noting all setback problems have been corrected cUid that the hardcover has been reduced to £ui even lesser extent than the plan submitted in 1977. Frahm confirmed that the hardcover appeared to be 3% over the allowed 25% - the 1977 site plan would have required an 8% variance. Hammerel asked staff to review the policy of the City in regards to gravel driveways and hardcover. Mabusth noted in 1977, the City's poli*:!y was to not consider gravel areas as hardcover and as a result the original application did not require a hardcover variance. Since then, policy has chcuiged to so include gravel driveways as hardcover. Today, a review of the 1977 application would require a hardcover variance of 8%. Swenson called attention to Judge Nicholson's review of the intent of the average lakeshore setback provision of Section 34.202 of the Orono Code. He reviewed the origins of the four designated setback lines A-D and noted that only two of those lines applied to the review of this application: B, the lakeshore setback line and D, a line designating the front line of the Becker house as extended across the Rhode property.
