ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR DECEMBER 14,1998 (#6) #2395, BRENT BENTROTT, 1453 PARK DRIVE - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - RESOLUTION NO. 4213 The applicant was present. Van Zomeren stated this application was reviewed at the November 23ru City Council meeting and it was continued for the applicant’s surveyor to provide a drainage plan and map that met the City- Engineer ’s concerns regarding drainage. The application is for a conditional use permit to allow grading for a driveway to be constructed on the property at a 10% slope and for the driveway entrance to be located on one-half of unopened, but platted Bluff Street to serve a new garage located 8’ off the property line which would require a side yard adjacent to street variance and variances for improvements to the house. Wy»en the Planning Commission considered this application in November, they recommended approval of the variances for the house. They did not recommend the conditional u.«e permit for grading and land alteration, fhe current plan would require approximately 500 cubic yards of fill to raise the elevation to provide a suitable building pad for the new garage. The previous plan had a culvert that was more closely located to the neighbor’s house. The current plan improves drainage by moving the culvert farther away from the property line and directing drainage to the natural drainage way that exists on the property. Greg Gappa and Tom Kellogg have reviewed the plan from a drainage perspective and believe that ♦he current plan would take care of the runoff. A hold harmless agreement has been sent to the applicant. The applicant had no additional comments. Jabbour asked if the next door neighbor was contacted and kept up to date on the changes to the plan. Van Zomeren responded that both neighbors were contac:ed and she did not receive any negative comments from them. Jabbour asked the City Attorney if he had researched allowing the applicant to use the unopened, but platted property. Barrett responded that he is satisfied the City can allow the applicant to use that half of the property. Flint moved, Jabbour seconded, to approve Application #2395,1453 Park Drive, and adopt Resolution No. 4213 granting variances for side yard adjacent to street for the three season porch and entrance improvements to the residence and hardcover in the 0*-75* and 75’-250’ setbacks and further, granting the conditional use permit for land alteration for 500 cubic yards of cut and fill and grading within 5’ of the east property line. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 1, Goetten opposed. Page 4
