MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />NfEETING HELD ON MARCH 20, 1995 <br />(#7 - #2002 - William Smith - Continued) <br />Schroeder asked that the city check with the attorney on the affect on the lot as <br />unbuildable if no variance were granted. Mabusth said that the Comprehensive Plan <br />allows for three lots on a driveway but the subdivision code requires a private road. The <br />attorney said that the code has precedence over the Comprehensive Plan. Schroeder <br />asked Mabusth about outlots. Mabusth said that lot 2 has 3+ acres, and there would be no <br />issue with the size of outlots. <br />The Commissioners were asked by the chair their final thoughts regarding the plan. <br />Lindquist asked if the engineer would approve a "y" nithin a curb cut. Mabustl: ihought <br />this would be a possibility. Lindquist said a new curb cut off Fox Street or access from <br />Fox Run or not buildable. Berg agreed with this. Peterson preferred access off Fox Run. <br />He did not wish to see a new curb cut and thought a "y" would be better but not preferred. <br />Schroeder preferred Fox Run. He would like the attorney to look at the situation and <br />determine why it ended up as it now is. Rowlette did not want to set a precedent with <br />three lots on a driveway. She was unsure of her feelings on the "y". Nolan agreed with <br />this. Smith preferred Fox Run, then a new curb cub, and then the "y". <br />(#8) #2004 ROBERT MELAxMED, 920 OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD SOUTH - <br />SKETCH PLAN/SUBDIVISION <br />Robert Melamed and Ron Lauer were present. <br />Mabusth reviewed the property and the issues involved. This is a 15 acre subdiNision in a <br />heavily wooded area, owned by the Carpenter family, with designated wetlands and types <br />I and II not designated on City's wetland maps. The applicant has a purchase agreement <br />with the Carpenter trust. The property is surrounded by Old Crystal Bay Road on the <br />west and driveway to the south and east. The drainage flows from the north to the <br />designated wetland, then east via a culvert under drive and eventually to French Lake <br />lower basin. <br />The applicant has asked the commission to look at the findings ard hardships. The code <br />would require an internal road as well as a cul-de-sac. This plan results in the removal of <br />660 trees and the filling of2400 s.f of wetland type 1 and 2, and major portions of <br />designated wetland for access to the east lot. Peterson asked if access from the driveway <br />to the north was a possibility. The applicant said it was not as it would require turning the <br />driveway into a road. This would also require depletion of a forest area. Another option <br />would be to come in off of Old Ciy'stal Bay Road.
