Van Nest moved, Hannah seconded, that the Minutes of the Planning Conmission Meeting held Novenfcer 18, 1975, be ap proved as amended. Motion, Ayes (5) - Nays (0), Robert Frost requested a variance to construct a new garage 23 ft. from the side lot line and 35 ft. from the rear ot line. Although there would be room on the east side of the property, if the area were graded, the west site proposal had an existing driveway. The cqpplication for the tract, consisting of cue acre in a five acre zone, would have met the previous zo^g conditions. Mr. Frost explained that an old shed, in which he stores various ecfuipment, would be tom down inmed- iately after constiuction of the new garage. Van Nest moved, IXnlap seconded, that the Planning Ckminissicjn reconmend to the Council that due to the lot being in existence prior to the rgw zoning and that the petition would have met requirranents a one acre zone, approval of the variance recjuest of Robert riwt be granted, but conditional that Final Approval by the Building Inspector be withheld until the existing shed be tom down. Motion, Ayes (5) - Nays (0). Stephen Helland, representing himself, Dave Davei^rtt and Jms Wagener, presented the Final Plat of 'T)rono Orchards Highlands". It was noted that all the tracts met the two acre reqfuirement but members expressed concern about the old tract lines being shown on the hard shell. Dunlap moved, Hannah seconded, that the Planning Conmission recommend to the Council that the Final Plat of Orono Orchards Highlands be ap proved subject to the Engineer's recomnendations and the Paik Dedication Ffee being paid in accordance with forthcoming Fee Amendments. Motion, Ayes (5) - Nays (0). The Zoning Administrator explained the petition of Phillip Dykstra because no one appeared as a representative. The appli cation requested subdivision of a 2.22 acre tract near a channel, into two parcels, both of vdiich would exceed the minimum lot width requirement of 140 ft. The Zoning Administrator noted that the tract had been assessed for two units during the 1973 sewer pro ject. Both of the properties would require private easements for ^^ess to the road and the other for access to the lake. The ling Administrator conmented that the easement to the lake would probably create an additional dock. Due to the area having long, deep lots, the Commission expressed concern as to the public opinion of the possibility of another row of houses in the neigh borhood. The Planning Commission directed that a Public Hearing be held on 19 January 1976, at 7:30 P.M. in the Orono Village Hall. ATTENDANCE - 7:45 P.M.
