fc <br />MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, November 20, 2000 <br />These lots would then l^e considered as record lots, which would require variances to lot width <br />and lot area for each of the lots. Weinberger stated due to the lot line rearrangement, the front <br />property lines would change and become narrower. <br />Weinberger stated Staff would like the Planning Commission to consider the request for the <br />vacation of the alley and lot line rearrangement prior to the variance part of the application being <br />heard. Staff is recommending approval of the lot line rearrangement and vacation of the alley. <br />Hurr stated she has no additional comments to Staff s report but would be happy to answer any <br />questions the Planning Commission may have. <br />Bill Bockmann, 1130 Loma Linda Avenue, inquired whether the service road would stay in its <br />current location. <br />Weinberger stated that would remain as the driveway access to the property. Weinberger stated <br />the vacation of the alley and lot line rearrangement allows for the two lots to become larger in <br />size and to reduce the need for setbacks. <br />Jeff Johnson, 1145 Loma Linda Avenue, stated he did provide a letter to the Cit\* regarding this <br />application. <br />Weinberger stated he does have the letter in the file. Weinberger stated the letter indicates he <br />is against the variance to allow lot lines or building size or hardcover which would restrict his <br />view of the lake. In addition, the property owners should have been aware of the size of the lots <br />and building requirements prior to purchase and should not pose a hardship on the adjoining <br />property. <br />Johnson stated he was told there would be no encroachment mto the lot line. <br />Weinberger stated as proposed, if the alley is vacated and a portion of the service road becomes <br />part of Parcel A, the defined front property* line would be along Loma Linda, which would <br />require a 30 foot setback to the south property line. Weinberger stated the closest any structure <br />could be built to the property line would be 30 feet, with the old requirement being 35 feet from <br />PAGE 17 <br />4
