#2326 - Orono Dc velopment, LLC <br />February 19,1998 <br />Page 4 <br />A topic which will need followup and resolution is the vacation of Navarre Lane, which the City <br />agreed to via resolution #3830 in January 1997. The primary issue for discussion is whether some <br />or all of the trail easements identified in that approval will be needed, given that the currently <br />proposed walkway layout makes use of the building sidewalks. The vacation approval indicated the <br />City would be granted a 10' trail easement along Olive Avenue, as well as over the walkway through <br />the site. <br />Staff Recommendation <br />Staff recommends that Council grant conceptual approval for the commercial site plan as well as the <br />hardcover, facade materials and 5' parking setback variances per the Planning Commission's <br />recommendation. The applicant was advised by Planning Commission to explore all possible ways <br />to accomplish the 15'front parking setback. <br />If Council concludes that the parking setback issue and all other issues have been adequately <br />addressed. Council should direct staff to prepare a formal resolution for adoption at the March 9 <br />Council meeting, such resolution to include fmdings in support of the variances to be approved, and <br />including specific conditions of commercial site plan approval. Council should advise staff of any <br />special conditions you may wish to have included. <br />Council Action Requested <br />Grant conceptual approval, establish any special conditions or unique findings that may be <br />appropriate, and direct staff to draft an approval resolution for adoption at the March 9 Council <br />meeting.
