ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION Monday, May 15, 2000 I (#2585 Thomas McCaffrey, Continued) Joyce Shemanek encouraged the Planning Commission to approve this lot line rearrangement, noting they are doing something which will help their neighbor. There were no further public comments regarding this application. Lindquist commented that the City will still end up with two non-conforming lots regardless of how the lot is rearranged. Smith inquired whether this would become a flag lot in the future. Weinberger stated based on the existing five aae minimum lot size requirement for subdividing in the RR-1A District, the updated Comprehensive Plan is not proposing any changes to the density in this area. Stoddard noted the Planning Commission has approved a walkway path down to the Luce Line in the past. Weinberger stated the DNR usually has concerns when people propose to remove trees down by the Luce Line in order to construct a walking path and gain access to the trail. Weinberger stated that should not be an issue in this case. Smith commented that the City should be advising Applicants that are proposing to construct a walkway to the Luce Line that they are not entitled to remove any trees or vegetation within the ONR's easement. Weinberger stated the Applicant has been informed of the DNR owned property in this area. Stoddard moved, Nygard seconded, to recommend approval of Application #2585, Thomas and Kathleen McCaffrey and Fred and Joyce Shemanek, 4265 and 4355 Chippewa Lane, for a subdivision lot line rearrangement VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0.
