7 -..............-r ■» i • • ^'mrrsr.n /MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION meeting held on JANUARY 20,1998 <br />Schroeder stated the septic regulations govern the planning of development and no <br />exceptions would be made in regards to septic. McMillan indicated the difficulty in <br />° It*^ slopes are also a concern as well <br />as the 6/o restriction. Otto indicated that the Lot 3 septic sites are 6% for the primary <br />SI e on the north side and 8% for the alternate. Lindquist informed him that all septic <br />sites must be conforming. Gaffron said sewering would make it easier for building sites <br />but there IS no plan for sewering and the property is not within the MUSA. He noted the <br />Council IS reviewing expansion of 2 acre zoning but it is difficult to predict what will <br />occur in the future. Plans for alternate sites are required but they may not be needed in <br />the future. <br />There were no public comments. <br />(#21) #2324 JAlVffiS RENDER, HAVING AN INTEREST IN 1365 TONKAWA <br />ROAD - to iUbdivide the parcel into three lots for residential development <br />Mark Gronberg represented the applicant. <br />Gaffron reported that the sketch plan is for a two acre site located across from Maxwell <br />subdivision will meet the width requirements in the <br />LK-IC Zoning Distnct. Three options are being provided for the development. <br />Option A is the preferred layout. It would include an outlot driveway at a 30' v.idth A <br />private road is required for the three lots. Lots 1 and 2 require back lot area variances <br />where 3/4 acres is required. <br />Option B is a modified plan with two lots abutting the County road. An outlot would <br />serve the back lot and meet the 3/4 acre standard. Lot 3 becomes somewhat limited in its <br />development flexibility in this scenario and would creates the need for an additional <br />driveway access. <br />Option C includes a short cul-de-sac and is the most conforming of the three proposals. <br />No width variance is required but there would be alot of hardcover due to the road. There <br />are also potential changes to the character of the neighborhood in this proposal. <br />Gaffron reviewed the pros and cons for a cul-de-sac. This would be the shortest cul-de- <br />sac developed to date in the City. The minimum paved width for a private road is 24' and <br />20' for a public driveway. The total hard surface for the entire site, including the road, <br />would be 21,000 s.f or 24% of the property. This assumes that all three lots are <br />conforming to the 25% hardcover limitation in the 75-250' zone.
