ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />MINUTES FOR DECEMBER 13,1999 <br />(m) mSO CHARLES VAN EECKHOUT, 120 BROWN ROAD SOUTH - Continued <br />view. He is trading the small lots for all the open space on the south end. He said that if the <br />Council likes this concept, he will go back to the Planning Commission. <br />Flint said he prefers the new proposal over the proposal in the staff report. <br />Sansevere asked why the applicant doesn’t make the lots bigger. <br />Van Eeckhout said the best building sites are in those four spots. <br />Jabbour asked how the neighbors feel about the new proposal. <br />Weinberger said there is dry buildable area around the lots in the north that would expand the <br />size of the lots, but the Council should keep in mind the lots io the north of this area in Long <br />Lake are zoned and platted for a 10,000-15,000 minimum size. He said this design maintains <br />all four sewer connections in the same area. He said that originally this was shown using the <br />entire development as part of one of seven lots. Now the applicant is showing open space. <br />The entire area to the south just north of the Luce Line Trail is shown as open space which is <br />really almost four acres dry. This also addresses many of the issues the DNR had with the <br />drive «vay and the sewer crossing of the creek as well as the issue of the sewer line crossing the <br />Luce Line Trail. These are some of the things that the applicant discussed with staff. <br />Kelley asked how everyone feels about the flag lot. <br />Van Eeckhout said he lives on that lot. <br />Coleman said this plan is better than the previous one. <br />Kelley asked why the flag lot was so narrow at the top. <br />Van Eeckhout said it is basically just a driveway at that point. <br />Flint asked if the open space would be deeded to a homeowner’s association. <br />Van Eeckhout said that would be subject to agreement between his attorney and the City ’s <br />representative. He would not object to deeding the open space to a homeowner’s association. <br />Jabbour said he wants the applicant to understand that this proposal will be subject to the <br />access. <br />Sansevere asked if Mr. Dunn is agreeable to sign the documents. <br />Van Eeckhout said Mr. Dunn is in Florida, but he has talked to him once. He said Mr. Dunn <br />has been paid twice for the easement and he wants to be paid again. <br />Page 32
