MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON SEPTEMBER 18, 19<)5 (#1 - #2064 Robert Olson/lrvin Geflfre - Continued) The proposed lot line does not preclude the use of the Outlot corridor for a future roadway. To meet code and not impact future developnicnt, an option is to come down tlie west side of the properties requiring a 50' corridor, which will not be limited by the lot line rearrangement The City is requesting vacation of the utility and drainage easement Minnegasco has no interest in this being done NSP, thru a verbal communication, asked that the electrical lines not be vacated This would need to be conlirnied New dedication of drainage and utility easements is proposed to be required along the new lot boundary. Regarding the oversize accessory structure square footage v ariances, Gaffron asked the Commissioners if Geflfre should be required to remove the smaller shed or quonset to minimize the amount of accessory structures It was noted that both applicants were present at the meeting. Lindquist asked what the uses were for the quonset and other shed The quonset, which would be on the new lot, is used for storage The applicant would consider removing this structure The other shed is used for garden tools The applicant requested maintaining this small shed. The quonset is 1014 s f, and its removal would reduce the variance to 768 s f Peterson commented that Outlot C at 14 acres was large enough to consider moving proposed rear lot line hirther south into Outlot C The applicant responded that it would not be a problem to change the lot line 20' more to the south. When questioned by Peterson whether the lot line change would affect the future road, Gaffron said it would not affect the future road. Gaffron noted that as part of v ariance approval, the City should require the standard oversize accessory structure covenant stipulating that Geflfe's lot size cannot be decreased by a future division without requiring the removal of the oversize accessory structure. Rowletle asked that a date for the quonset removal be noted in the resolution. There were no public comments Peterson noted that there would be no impact on any neighbors. Schroeder moved, Lindquist seconded, to recommend approval of Application #2064 with the removal of the quonset 60 days from the final date of approval, an additional 20* be added to the south end of the lot, a covenant placed on the property requiring the removal of the oversize accessory structure if the lot is made smaller, and new drainage and utility easement be granted Vacation of the existing easement will be approved subject to confirmation of the interest of NSP.
