MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 19,2000 lots are one-half acre in size. Staff would recommend no variances be granted on these lots to have a structure built on the properties that is not in compliance with the Zoning Code. City Staff is recommending the property ow ner pay a park dedication fee for one new lot rather than offer land for a park dedication. Weinberger noted only one lakeshore lot is being created as a result of this subdivision, which would limit the number of docks to one and would only provide access to the owner of Lot 1. Currently the Sandy Beach area has a joint dock license where there are several docks in the area. Following removal of the cabins, this joint dock license would be eliminated. City Staff is recommending approval of the subdivision since it meets all requirements of the sut^vision and zoning chapters for lots created within the LR-IC District subject to review and approval by the City Engineer of a rev ised grading and drainage plan. Pieper, 1847 Shoreview Lane, inquired who would be responsible for placement of the culvert. Weinberger indicated the culvert is currently in place but is blocked at this time and needs to be cleaned out. Pieper inquired whether the County would be responsible for the cleanout of the culvert. Weinberger stated the culvert would be cleaned out as part of the grading that would occur on the properties to create the driveway. Weinberger stated the developer would be required to clean out the culvert and divert the water away from the building pads. Weinberger pointed out a culvert is also necessary under the driveway. Lindquist inquired whether the area by the Chcriy trees is considered to be a protected wetla.nd. Weinberger stated it is not considered a wetland and is located a few inches above the floodplain. Patrick O’Reilly, 3928 Cherry Avenue, commented he is pleased to hear that the pond in that area will be eliminated since it posed a safety threat to young children in the area. O’Reilly stated in his opinion the one-acre acre lots are appropriate for this area. Hawn indicated she would be in support of this proposal if the City Engineer is fine with the proposed grading and drainage. Lindquist moved, Hawn seconded, to recommend approval of Application #3588, Robert Pieper, 3995 North Shore Drive, subdivision of a one acre parcel of land into two one-half acre lots, subject to the review and approval by the City Engineer of a revised grading and drainage plan, payment of a park dedication fee, the standard easements be provided to the Chy, approval of access to the County Road, and with the understanding that no variances will be allowed on the properties to construct the new residences VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0.
