MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, June 15, 2015 <br />6:30 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 5 of 6 <br /> <br />Chair Leskinen closed the public hearing at 8:36 p.m. <br /> <br />Leskinen suggested the Planning Commission start with the garage setback. <br /> <br />McGrann asked what options the Planning Commission has. <br /> <br />Landgraver stated it would either require a 30-foot setback or require a variance application. <br /> <br />Leskinen stated it would be easier to move the line than the building. Leskinen stated since this is a new <br />lot, the City would not be willing to create a substandard lot, and that the size of the building could either <br />be reduced or the line changed. <br /> <br />Schoenzeit noted it will be a much sharper angle. Schoenzeit asked if the lot line rearrangement would <br />impact the septic site. <br /> <br />Barnhart stated if the line is shifted over 15 feet to the north, it would not really impact the septic site in <br />terms of serving the lot to the north. If the line is shifted to the other side of the septic system, that lot <br />would become too small. <br /> <br />Landgraver asked where the line would intersect on the right-hand side. Landgraver asked if that is a <br />wetland in that area. <br /> <br />Barnhart illustrated on the overhead where the line would be. <br /> <br />Thiesse asked if the City has any criteria about a newly created lot having an old septic site. <br /> <br />Barnhart stated the City has a report on the septic system and the septic inspector is comfortable with that <br />report. <br /> <br />Schoenzeit stated the other issue is the trail easement and that it is the practice of the City to collect those <br />at the time of new subdivisions. <br />
