MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING <br />HELD JANUARY 11, 1993 <br />(«4) lM778/i1779 ANDREW GOETTEN, <br />1385 FOX STREET - PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL/VARIANCE <br />RESOLUTIONS #3223 & #322^ <br />Paul Larson, applicant’s attorney, was present. J. DIann Goettcn <br />abstained from discussion of this item. <br />Gaffron explained the applicant has requested a revision of the <br />preliminary plat, eliminating the need for a side setback variance <br />for the existing garage on Lot 2 by moving the lot line westward <br />and combining the riparian outlot with Lot 1 to maintain ih <br />acres for the newly created lot. <br />» 2 <br />Anderson explained his cl lent requests this revision to allow for <br />more flexibility with respect to the lot line between Lots 1 and <br />2. This would also allow for an option to move the garage If the <br />existing road were to be expanded. <br />Mayor Callahar asked the degree of change In the lot line. <br />Gaffron noted it would be moved approximately .02 of an acre, the <br />exact amount of acreage in the outlot less the easement for Orono <br />Lane. <br />Kelley reiterated the Planning Commission denied this application <br />and felt the property should be rezoned. He stated he would <br />maintain that position. <br />Hurr felt there was value In tying the outlot with anoiher lot so <br />It would not be sold later as riparian access. <br />Kelley stated Lot 1 should have 2 acres without the benefit of the <br />outlot. <br />Anderson felt the pfecodent setting issue Is minimal In this <br />situation. <br />Hurr stated the City made a commitment to the Gonttens 10 years <br />ago, and she felt they should uphold that commitment. <br />Gaffron noted a special lot combination would be required If the <br />outlot were combined with either Lot 1 or 2 or sold to any <br />neighboring property.
