MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON SEPTEMBER 18, 1995 (#3 - #2000 Conlen Cloutier - Continued) Peterson asked if there were any other issues to consider Weckman noted that no park dedication tee would be required The City Attorney said the property had already been subdivided as of record There was also a ditference of opinion on whether this was one parcel or 3 Weckman said Mabusth had requested language be added to note that any future subdivision must meet current standards and codes It was flulher noted that the property has been assessed for two water and one sewer connection but would require assessment of another sewer and SAC charge Cloutier responded that it was his belief this was incorrect as lot 4 was connected to sewer from Frederick Street He added that when water was provided on Casco in 1971, a stub line came from Casco to his property. Gaffron said he would follow up on the charge for the sewer unit W'eckman said if the sewer line crosses a neighbor's, the City would need to verify- and identify any easements. During public comment, Wilbur Anderson, 3555 Frederick Street, read a letter from Norm and Rusty Paurus The letter said the Paurus' approved the application if no changes were submitted from the 3/20/95 submittal, or asked to allow their feedback on any charges made. The Paurus ’ asked the proposed house be moved 5-6' to the northeast to save several mature trees and that all construction and driveways comply with current City ordinarices Peterson asked for Cloutier's comments on the letter The applicant was unsure what trees were being referred to as there was a solid line of trees on the lot. Cloutier did not believe it to be reasonable to redesign the house with the topography since there was no lack of trees on this or neighboring properties. Peterson said the proceedings cannot be stopped because a neighbor was not in attendance. Commissioners noted that the driveway was the main concern with the application. The lack of 1/2 acre contiguous on lot I because of the configuration of the driveway was the problem. Cloutier commented that lot 1 consisted of 3/4 acre and contained woods continuous over to Frederick Street. He asked for approval of the driveway for he and his son. Lindquist said he was uneasy with the proposal. The applicant was told that there would be a time when the property did not serve Cloutier and his son. Lindquist noted that the roadway by Paurus' lot 2 could serve both Paurus and lot 3. Rowlette asked if Frederick Street was used on a daily basis. Cloutier said he used the access from Casco. Rowlette noted that the Casco driveway was not well maintained. The applicant said red rock had recently been brought in but said further destruction of the driveway would occur during the construction process. Rowlette said she saw no reason for the middle driveway to serve lots 3 and 4 when outlot 1 was already in place to serve those lots 8
