‘I***-"!#-' <br />MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON JANUARY 21, 1997 <br />(#1 - #2201 Vacation of Unimproved Right-of-VVay - Big Island - Continued) <br />Robb said the confusion lies in that the letters address the easement between the Adams <br />and the access which is the wrong easement. It has not been the applicants intent to <br />vacate that portion of property. <br />The Commission discussed the access changes, concerns for septic and driving over <br />drainfields, and the need to retain access to the Henderson property. Hawn asked the <br />applicants to speak with Mr. Erickson regarding the sale of a piece of land for a new <br />corridor to give direct access (not easement) for egress and ingress as currently there for <br />Mr. Henderson. Henderson said that would be acceptable as long as the width of the <br />access icmains the same. Fieger said he did not know if Erickson would be willing to sell <br />the land. Adams was informed that no approval could be made at this time without <br />knowing the outcome. <br />Adams asked the Commission what would happen if Erickson is unwilling to sell with no <br />other solution for obtaining a conforming septic. Smith inquired if there were any other <br />concerns from Staff if this access could be resolved. Gaffron said the primary concerns <br />are a septic in the right-of-way and providing an easement for utilities. It was noted that <br />no other site was found satisfactory for a septic. Gafiffon said Big Island is allowed <br />structures without septic systems under specific conditions. It was noted that Henderson <br />does have enough dry buildable land. The question of holding tanks and pumping was <br />considered Gaffron reported that holding tanks would not be the first choice and would <br />probably require a variance, but he would have to review the code. Fieger said he would <br />prefer a holding tank due to the cost of the septic system The length of piping was also <br />discussed. Adams noted that the septic design allows for 640 gallons of water per day per <br />cabin capacity which is extreme considering its seasonal use. <br />Schroeder moved, Smith seconded, to table Application #2201 to allow the applicants to <br />research further options for access through acquisition of property from Mr. Erickson. <br />The applicants were also encouraged to speak with Staff regarding holding tanks.
