• - <br />\ <br />! ' <br />! i <br />MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON NOVEMBER 17,1997 <br />f' <br />>y <br />f ; <br />^ : <br />Lindquist asked for comments from the applicant regarding the road width. Gleason said <br />the fire marshal thought a 20' width was satisfactory and 22' is proposed. He thought <br />there was no other option for the dead-end cul-de-sac. Gleason said the owner of the <br />property to the west is currently not interested in selling. Van Zomeren said the road <br />would not be extended to the end of the property, only the sewer and water improvements <br />would be located there. The driveway would dead-end at the cul-de-sac. Lindquist <br />agreed that whatever occurs with the property to the west does not factor into this <br />application. <br />Hawn asked if the driveway could e.xtend to CoRd 15. Gleason said no. <br />Concern was voiced regarding the inability to turnaround at the dead-end. Lindquist <br />questioned whether a cul-de-sac could be built there. Hawn was informed that the <br />driveways would be two car lengths. No parking would be allowed along the side of the <br />road. Guests would have to park in the driveway of the units or gain permission from <br />other residents to park in their driveways. <br />There were no public comments. <br />Lindquist asked about the time schedule. Gleason said he was beginning to enter a time <br />crunch due to having to redesign the subdivision. He noted that he was uninformed of <br />any problem with the driveway until now. The fire department had not indicated that <br />having to back into a driveway to turnaround would be a problem. Gleason said it is not <br />a through street, only a private driveway, and access can be gained. Gleason did not <br />believe there was room for a cul-de-sac and additional trees would be lost. <br />^ n.
