MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO Cm' COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON MARCH 9, 1998 (#10 - #2339 James Render - Continued) Jabbour reiterated that the plan should include a 25' easement for a total of 33'. There would be no hardcover credit for the road, and the applicant would have 16' for a driveway. A hammerhead style turnaround would be acceptable with parking at the end of it. Kelley said he would not support any proposal without a cul-de-sac and 28' road. Peterson asked what size cul-de-sac would be required. Gaffron said it would normally require an 80' paved surface to provide the necessary benefits. Jabbour suggested all properties likely would be served from Tonkawa for fire emergencies and the hammerhead would provide the needed parking space for the residences. Jabbour reiterated the outlot would be 25' plus 8' for a total of 33' for the easement. The road would be 16' wide with a hammerhead. No variances would be allowed for lot area, lot width, setback, or hardcover. Jabbour questioned whether credit would be given in area for the ponding. Gaffron indicated that the pond area could be credited towards hardcover in the 75 -250 setback The credit would not be for lot area, which has been done in sewered areas only with wetlands Gaffron indicated that the pond would only afiect the one lot in which it will be placed. Gronberg noted that the attempt was to accommodate the neighborhood drainage but suggested the pond may be built to only treat these 3 lots. Gaffron indicated that the City Attorney has suggested if there was any variances that a 60-day e.xtension be requested after the initial 60-day period Jabbour asked if any variances were anticipated. Gaftron said a road width variance would be necessary. Render was asked for approval of the 60 day extension Render asked if all of the 60 days were necessary. He was informed that it would probably not take the entire time period. Render indicated the property is to close on May 1 but w'ould give approval for the extension.

He was informed that there was 8' on the south side as part of the 33'. With the additional 17' to the 8' on both sides, the total would be jj'. Jabbour said the 8' easement requires verification. Kelley suggested that It be stipulated in the resolution that no hardcover variance would be allowed. Gaftron said a statement of intent could be included. Kelley asked that this be done.
