MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON FEBRUARY 17. 1998 (#7 - #2341 Daniel Anderson - Continued) McMillan noted that there are difficulties with the trail on both the east and west sides of the road from the Luce Line to Noerenberg Park. She indicated the details of the trail have not been planned out but consideration is being given for long range planning. Anderson reaffirmed that he would try to make it easy to provide an easement for a trail on the west side while being fair to septic site needs on Lot 2. Otto said the major concern is adherence to the 6% slope requirement. He is concerned with having an altemaie site for Lot 6. Anderson said another site would be about an 8% slope. Lindquist moved. Smith seconded, to approve Application #2341 with lot width variances for Lots 2 and 7, acceptance of access method as noted for Lot 7, all e.xisting accesses to the county road be eliminated, road radius of 125’, trail easement of 15’, stormwater ponding or letter from MCWD on acceptable ponding, no bluff impact variance allowed for Lots 5 and 6, tree, woodland, and natural vegetation preservation program, and adherence to normal development requirements, including perimeter drainage and utility easements, private road easements and covenants, developers agreement, and park dedication.
