MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON MARCH 16, 1998 (#2 - #2340 Robert Waade - Continued) Mabusth asked what other variances would be required. GafFron reported that lot width would be required unless the lot line along the road outlot was defined as the front lot line instead of CoRd 51. There would be no need for a hardcover variance if credit was given for the ponding. The variances necessary’ would be for the length and width of the outlot. Berg said it was important to note that the driveways would still be located there whether one unit or two. Jody Dalvey said she would like to see the area cleaned up. She believes people would be less apt to buy property in the area if a duplex was allowed. She acknowledged that her primary concern is with the duplex. Berg felt the main issues have been addressed. Smith suggested tabling the application to allow the applicant to redesign the project. Waade asked if the Commission w'ould support the duplex proposal if the footprint was reduced. Smith felt the main issue was with reducing the structural coverage. She noted support was voiced for the variance for the driveway. Smith informed Waade of the need to submit a drainage plan for review. She emphasized that lake access would only be allowed to the single family residence. Stoddard said he supported the Staff' recommendations noted on page 6 of the memo noting the property is zoned for duplex. He supported the driveway and lot width variance and structural coverage of 15%. He suggested the applicant work with staff. Smith noted the applicant also needs to protect the adjacent property in regards to drainage as part of the grading plan. Marfield reminded the Commission of Lindquist's comments. Smith informed Marfield that Lindquist was speaking for himself She noted that the plan as proposed would most likely be denied if a recommendation was made at this time. Smith informed the applicant that the Commission needs to see the revised plan before review by Council. Smith moved, Berg seconded, to table Application ##2340. Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 0. (Agenda item #3 follows item #5.) L
