\ <br />ORONO CIT\ COUNCIL MEETING <br />MINUTES FOR MAY 26, 1998 <br />lot? <br />Can the east line of Lot 2 be considered the front line, eliminating a width variance for <br />the duplex? <br />Gaffron summarized the staff recommendations on Page 5 of the May 21 memo noting that the <br />same variances would be required whether or not a duplex was approved; a berm higher than 2-3’ <br />would require a new plan, drainage issues need to be resolved, and the duplex use should be <br />approved based on meeting frie zoning criteria. <br />Waade commented that he bought the property based on the information that a multi-family use <br />is allowed. Because of the marina, lift station and busy road, multi-family housing best suits the <br />lot. He plans to live in the lakeshore lot and would be improving the area. <br />There were no public comments. <br />Peterson asked for clarification on the front line issue for Lot 2. Gaffron explained that the width <br />requirement for a duplex is 135’. For this comer lot, the short side is considered the front. <br />However, if the longer side were considered the front side, a width variance would not be <br />required. He noted the primary access will be from Outlot A even though the properties would <br />be addressed off of North Shore Drive. <br />Jabbour asked how many homes were on frie property prior to the proposed subdivision.. .Gaffron <br />responded that there were three homes with three sewer units. <br />Kelley stated he was not in favor of the duplex and would prefer a single family residence for <br />a total of two single family homes on two lots.
