MINlfTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING C OMMISSION MEETING HELD ON SEPTEMBER 18, 1995 («IS> #2070 L. E. BRUECK;EMAN companies , 372 HESTl^KE STREET - SKETCH PLAN OF PROPOSED T^O LOT SI BDIVTSION - Pl’BLIC HEARING The Cetlificate of Mailing and AflKlavit of Publication noted. Developer Loren Brueggeman and property oivncr. Dean Maeser, wTrc present Tlw property in question is located on Westlake Street The sketch plan is a review of a proposal lot liiw rearrangement or replat to result in two building sites frt>in a 1 99 acre group of 3 tax parcels This property is l<x:ated in the single family lakeshore residentiai 2-acre zoning distnet requiring 200' width minimums The home currently on the property overlaps lots 10 and 11 with a storage-type building on lot 11 Two rental cabins overlap lots 11 and 12 but are mainly located in lot 12 The property currently operates as one single property One sewer unit was assessed to the existing house but not granted to the cabins, w hich are non-conforming and are in need of removal Council directed the applicant earlier this year to connect the house to sewo^ and allowed the cabins to remain in use for two more years before they must be removed The cabins are using the septic system on the property, and the house must be connected to sewer immediately. The cost of connecting to sewer is $ 14,000 per unit The applicant decided to pursue a lot line rearrangement or replat of the property into two building sites The lots would meet the required setbacks with 50* front and 30' side but would create a back-lot situation. The potential rights of the owner to have an additional building site would be much greater if each existing lot w^ buildable but they are not as many variances would be neoled. If a back lot were created and replatted, it would not meet the 150^« requirement Lot area variances would be required The lot width as noted in case 1 is dependent on the 75' line but would probably meet the lot width required The lot coverage by struaure allowance is limited by hardcover maximums. An average lakeshore setback variance would also be required. In the question of a replat, would the City allow a narrow corridor to access the back lot or would 30' be required as per the code'!’ It is questionable whether two parcels would be allowed in this 2-acre zoning. The lots use currently overlaps resulting in the 3 lots functioning as one properly If a subdivision is not possible. City questions what relief could be given to the owner. Would it be possible to sell larnl to a neighbor? Developer Brueggeman passed out sketch plans to the Commissioners showring two potential building sites on rearranged parcels meeting hardcover requirements. One site would contain a 2-story residence, 3300 s.f, and the second site would contain a 4400 s.f footprint with a walkout rambler style home, square footage of which would be 4000+ s.f. with both upper and lower lev els Both would be on substandard lots but would be sellable according to Brueggeman 30
