MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON MARCH 18, 1996 SKETCH PLAN REVIEW (Schroeder left the meeting at this time.) (#10) #2119 BARNETT DIVISION CORPORATION AND HILLOWAY CORPORATION, 180 NORTH SHORE DRIVE WEST > SUBDIVISION/SKETCH PLAN Mark Gronberg was present along with Lori Lundeen, representing Barnett Division Corporation, and Jim Pfennig, representing Hilloway Corporation. Mabusth reported that the sketch plan review involves a 17 acre parcel. The City granted preliminary approval of 2 lot division in 1988. At that time, one residential area was created with a 13 acre outiot set aside for future development. The subdivision was never fiiudized. The preliminary resolution provide guidelines for the future development of the 13 plus acre outiot. The current proposal is for a 6 lot subdivision with a cul-de-sac located in the northeast comer serving 1^ 1,3, and 4. Lots 2 and S would each have a separate curb cut at CoRd 19. Lot 6 was to continue to be served from the existing driveway. Mabusth said the access for the lots was reviewed with Gustafson. It was determined that the existing access for lot 6 was considered unsafe and suggested a shared driveway with lot S. City guidelines had stipulated that an internal road should serve the maiority of the lots. Mabusth said she would like to see a redesign of the accesses with lots 1, 2, 3, and 4 served by an internal road. Mabusth continued that the proposal also involves wetland issues. There are designated wetlands on the property along with a wetland designated on the National Inventory Map in the northwest comer, which would be deducted from the total acreage. Midxisth said Staff would ask for wetland delineation. Type 1 and 2 wetlands are not deducted from the acreage. Another issue concerns a recently completed lot line rearrangernem with the Geffrc property to the east. The imemal road should connect to western boundary of outiot C of Bayview Farms providing access for future development. Mabusth reported that septic testing was completed in 1988 for the existing residence. The alternate site tested did not meet the 75 ’ setback from designated wetland. The On- Site Septic Manager confirms signs of serious leaching from the ousting septic. Staff will require septic testing for a new principal drainfield site which must meet the 75 ’ wetland separation. This may present a problem due to the additional right of way being dedicated for CoRd 19. "I-
