MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON DECEMBER IL 1995 (#13 - #2086 Robert and Janice Callan - Continued) Jabbour asked Mabusth to refresh his memory regarding the Carson property, which Mabusth did. Mabusth noted that there was a question whether the Corp of Engineers favored mitigation for type 1, which bred the idea of mitigation for the type 2 wetland. Mabusth noted that the variance was required because of the encroachment within 26' of a designated wetland area. There were no public comments. Goetten moved, Callahan seconded, to deny Application #2086 per the Planning Commission's recommendation with a resolution to be brought back before the Council on January 8, 1996. Vote: Ayes 3, Nays 0. (#14) #2089 RICHARD MILLER, 4520 WATERTOWN ROAD - VARIANCES - RESOLUTION #3658 The applicant was represented by his father. Gaffron reported that the application is a request for lot area and lot width variances for a lot located in the 5-acre zoning. The property consists of 6.5 acres with 3.6 dry buildable where 5 acres is required. The width of the property measured at 100' parallel to the road is 287' where 300' is required. Gaffion informed the Council that the Planning Commission recommended approval based on the findings that the parcel would have been buildable without variances at the time the applicant purchased it in 1972. They noted that the applicant had also demonstrated that suitable primary and alternate sites for an on-site sewage treatment system exists on the property. The Planning Commission found this to be a unique property within the 5-acrc district where few vacant lots exist. The Planning Commission questioned whether there w ould be any use of the property if it was found to be unbuildable They also thought this proposal was appropriate and in character with other residences located in the area. The applicant's representative had no further comment There were no public comments. Callahan moved, Goetten seconded, to approve Resolution #3658. Vote; Ayes 3, Nays 0. (#15) #2092 DENNIS PLATTETER, 809 BROWN ROAD NORTH - PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION - RESOLUTION #3659 The applicant was present. j|
