/MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLAIvfNING COM^^SSION MEETING HELD ON FEBRUARY 17, 1998 <br />(#6 - #2340 R.obert Waade - Continued) <br />s afiron indicated that a lot not abutting lakeshore does not get lake access. Previous <br />discussion had suggested applicant would like both properties to have docks. Gafiron <br />recommended that no variance be allowed. <br />The City and County park plans suggest a trail along North Shore Drive. There is enough <br />riglit-of-way already provided to accommodate a trail. Park dedication fee is <br />recommended. <br />• *9 ' <br />Gafifron suggested tabling the application until the pond and stormwater plans have been <br />received. He recommended approval of the front/back lot layout. He noted hardcover <br />zones have been recalculated. Gafiron reviewed the Staff recommendation as noted in the <br />information packet, #1-9. <br />Mr. Waade had no comments at this time. <br />During public comments, Sam Marfield, 2455 North Shore Drive, indicated that a duplex <br />in this area would be out-of-character. Jim DePietro, another resident of North Shore <br />Drive, agreed. <br />David Dalvey, 3230 Bohns Point Lane, agreed with Marfield. He believes the <br />neighborhood of nice homes should not include a duplex. He asked the purpose of the <br />proposed duplex. Waade said the upscale units would be rental. Dalvey said he has had <br />problems with other rental properties and submitted a letter requesting that the duple.x not <br />be rental property. Lindquist acknowledged receipt of the letter. <br />Richard D. Allen, 3220 Bohns Point Lane, said he shares the opinion of Dalvey regarding <br />a duplex. He does not feel a duplex is consistent with the neighborhood and would be <br />squeezed in on the property. He is concerned with setting a precedent by allowing the <br />building of a duplex on this property. <br />Mr. Waade noted the property is next to a marina and felt the location was ideal for a <br />duplex. He indicated the plan calls for an upscale design and be an improvement to the <br />neighborhood. Waade said he would create a berm between his site and the marina.. He <br />did not believe buyers would want a big house next to a marina. <br />Gaffron clarified the zoning for the public. He indicated the marina is in the B-2 <br />Commercial District. The LR-lC-1,1/2 acre, residential zoning allows for a duplex to be <br />located within 200' of the commercial or marina area. To the east and south of North <br />Shore Marina is one acre single family residential zoning.
