MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />meeting HELD ON NOVEMBER 18, 1996 <br />(#12 - #2190 James G. Fullerton - Continued) <br />divided off but served by Fox Street on the east side. The current proposal is for a five lot <br />subdivision. It was noted that there wiU not be a back lot serving another propeny. All of <br />e ots meets the area and width requirements. There is a caretaker house which will be <br />rnaintained Application will be made for a condition use permit and wiU meet the area <br />standards but is ocated about 45' from the lake shore. The accessory structure will be <br />located on the lot lines and will not meet the standards. Mabusth stated <br />woLd be alJo^eT ^ access <br />Winston informed the Commission that Tract E has an easement to use Fox Street but <br />oes not currently use it. He also noted that the tract is not less than 2-1/2 acre lots as <br />w f«'ricts the number of <br />umts. Winston said the limitation is only to the size. Mabusth said this would allow an <br />additional unit to be served by Tract F for a total of possibly seven. <br />Mabusth informed the Commission that the entrance to the area is 25' width and <br />surrounded by retaining walls. She noted that it would be difficult to upgrade the <br />roadway. The City Engineer reviewed the access and determined that it should remain a <br />private road to a minimum width of 24'. Mabusth said it would be difficult for this to <br />occur within the 500' due to the wooded nature of the property. The fire and police <br />departments will also review the plan. <br />Winston said it was his desire to retain the gate and amenities along the entry. Lindquist <br />agreed that it was a beautiful entrance. Mabusth said the plan calls for an innovative <br />approach to an upgrade, and if the Commission supports it, it would be difficult to <br />envision a 24' width with a ditch. The Commissioners all agreed to support some <br />flexibility regarding this issue. <br />\Vinston reported that the division would result in lots of at least 4 acres in size. He noted <br />that the most northerly lot would be accessed directly from the street and several lots <br />would not utilize the entire length of the access. Only three lots would use the full extent <br />of the dnveway to include the FuUerton homestead. Tract E and Lot 1 almost <br />immediately e.xist off of the private drivew'ay. <br />Lindquist indicated that the private road would be maintained by the property owners.
