MINUTES OF ORONO COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 26, 1990 <br />Mr. Parten said that it is disadvantageous to have the <br />prospect of a city street running through th ’ heavily wooded <br />area with the wetlands and Luce Line Trail. h.i said that the <br />term "internal circulation" is an excessive terra to describe <br />three houses on a driveway. <br />Acting Mayor Callahan said that it is likely that at some <br />point in the future, the 5-acre zone will be reduced to 2-acre or <br />1-acre. The City has to look ahead. <br />Mr. Parten said that the future zoning of that property does <br />not concern him and the issues involving access would be dealt <br />with at the time the property is rezoned. <br />Councilmember Goetten said that the City has just started to <br />consider a transportation plan for that area. She asked whethe <br />the City is sure that this is where a road should be placed? <br />Callahan said that the City is not sure from an overall <br />transportation plan that this is where a road should be placed. <br />However, there are properties to the north of Mr. Parten*s <br />property and Mr. Parten'j property itself may be further <br />subdivided. Callahan said that due to the topography of the <br />land, the location being proposed for the road is the best <br />location. <br />Bernhardson said that Mr. Parten initially proposed a 3-lot <br />subdivision that had a 50* outlot coming up from the south <br />proceeding along the south property .line toward the east and then <br />proceeding north and west. Bernhardson said that he had talked <br />with Mr. Parten regarding a variation of the ini ial proposal <br />that would accomplish what Callahan had indicated he would like <br />to achieve. <br />Mr. Parten said that th'' uioperty owners to the north of his <br />property had indicated the uhey did not want him to put a r'^vd <br />in as he first proposed. He said that the Planning Corami»‘^;ion <br />had recommended that he go back to the beginning and come up with <br />another proposal. He said that now his proposal only involves a <br />lot line rearrangement and he is creating any new lots. <br />Councilmember Goetten informed Mr. Parten that proceeding <br />with a PRD would allow him more options. <br />Nettles observed that due to the proposed driveway being 41* <br />into Mr. Parten's property, the property needed to upgrade the <br />driveway to a public road would come entirely from Mr. Parten s <br />property. <br />Mr. Parten said that due to the fact he had not received the <br />recent information from the staff, he would request that the <br />Council table this matter. <br />Acting Mayor Callahan informed Mr. Parten that wr.'n this <br />matter is heard again that he will recommend that there be a 50* <br />11
