il <br />k. <br />MINUTES OF A REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING <br />HELD MAY 24, 1993 <br />ZONING FILE #1811 - CONT. <br />Jennifer Dotsenroth, 3225 Casco Circle, stated an objection to the <br />variance citing additional hardcover and severe erosion problems <br />in the area as reasons to deny. She felt most parcels in this area <br />meet the lot area standard, and noted that Casco Circle is very <br />narrow and they do not need the additional traffic on the road. <br />Dick Kunz, realtor, said he disagrees with the adverse affects of <br />this development on other property values. He noted the buyer of <br />this property intends to build within the hardcover guideI Ines and <br />one additional residence will not create that much mo re traffic. <br />Dave Stilspth, 3233 Casco Circle, said if this property Is <br />developed there will be minimum separ^^tion between the three <br />residences and be very congested. This Goes not fit the general <br />look of the area. He felt the properties should oe combined. <br />Hurr inquired the width of his lot. <br />Stilseth stated his lot Is a bit larger than 60’ wide, but adi-ed <br />was grandfathered in and he purchased it 14 years ago. <br />Gary Nasiedlek, buyer of the vacant lot, said they began their <br />procedure by calling Orono and getting the specifications to build <br />for this property. They agree to remove the garage on the lot. He <br />felt the house will fit the neighborhood, and added the road could <br />be widened. He said he has offered to postpone building until the <br />Bielkes sell their property. <br />Mayor Callahan clarified that the buyer has a contingency in his <br />purchase agreement based on approval of this variance, and that he <br />was aware of the need for the variance at the time the purchase <br />agreement was drafted. <br />Nasiedlek concurred. <br />Chuck Plain, 3227 Casco Circle, expressed opposition as most <br />parcels in the area are larger pieces of property and approving <br />this variance would place three residences in close proximity. <br />Jay Richards, 3243 Casco Circle, stated he was excited when Remien <br />purchased the property to add onto his residence. He concurred that <br />If approved this will be the only area where three residences are <br />placed in close proximity. He agreed there Is a need to minimize <br />hardcover in this area because of the erosion problems, and stated <br />the Council may wish to consider making Casco Circle a one way road <br />In the future because of its narrow width.
