MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, June 15, 2015 <br />6:30 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 4 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />Rogosheske stated they are all for trails, and that when they originally purchased the property 33 years <br />ago, they actually owned Old Crystal Bay Road because there was never an easement granted. <br />Rogosheske stated they eventually did give an easement to the City and that they would appreciate a bike <br />path along the road <br /> <br />George Funk, Applicant, indicated the line would move a little bit if they are required to go with the <br />30-foot setback. Funk stated the lots would have a cleaner look with the 15-foot setback and it would also <br />give more flexibility to the homeowner. <br /> <br />Funk stated they will submit a new survey before to the City Council meeting. Funk stated the driveway <br />access is actually an old farmer’s access road. Funk stated that road actually goes down and has a dip in <br />it. Funk stated access to the north may be an issue, but the elevation of Old Crystal Bay Road was <br />lowered by two feet. Funk stated if the driveway is put on grade, which their driveway is, it should be <br />almost the same view, so it should not be a problem. Funk stated they were going to include a split <br />driveway but Staff said it would have a better chance of being approved if it is not a split driveway. <br /> <br />Lemke asked if the 1,008 square feet was a mistake. <br /> <br />Funk stated that was his mistake, and that they originally took the size of the garage with the siding on it, <br />and the surveyor said it is the footprint of the concrete block that is measured. <br /> <br />Leskinen asked if they will require a 15 or 30-foot setback. <br /> <br />Barnhart stated anything above 1,000 square feet would require a 30-foot setback. <br /> <br />Chair Leskinen opened the public hearing at 8:35 p.m. <br /> <br />David Harmon, 505 South Old Crystal Bay Road, stated he and his wife are in support of the application <br />and that in their view another home will have any adverse impact on them. Harmon stated they are <br />looking forward to having another family in the neighborhood. <br />
