Zoning File #1265 Additional Comments and Planning Commission Recommendation - August 17, 1988 Page 3 of 3 Additional Exhibits Exhibit F - Map of Area Unsuitable for Septic Development on Property Exhibit G - Planning Commission Minutes of 5/16/88 Exhibit H - Revised Parking Plan The applicant has worked with the Orono staff to amend the site plan providing the most efficient use of the severely limited site. Note the revised plan (Exhibit H), provides a total of 25 parking stalls, 8 compact and 17 regular sized stalls. The compact stalls proposed at 9x16' will req:.ire a variance to the parking stall standard (9'x20'). Mike Gaf.fron has worked with the applicants to locate a site for a holding tank on the property which has been designated on the revised site plan (Exhibit H). In addition, the former curb cut at Old Crystal Bay Road has been closed off with only a single access to the property at Fox Street. This curb cut has been approved as the safest location to the site by the City Engineer. Each of the stalls has the required 300 s.f. for ease of manuaverability, providing 360 s.f. with each stall. In the revised plan, the entire grassed front yard along Fox Street has been preserved with no major encroachment of the grassed area on the Old Crystal Bay Road side, as the majority of the existing graveled area now serves for the formal parking area along the north side of the property. Per Section 7 of the Orono Septic Code, specificakly the design manual, the City must approve the use of the holding tank on the property. As noted above, staff was most comfortable recommending approval of the use of the holding tank for this property based on the limited use of the association. The applicant also asks to maintain the graveled parking area rather than pave. If Council approves this request, staff would only ask that a paved apron entrance to Fox Street be provided up to paved edge of Fox Street subject to the review of the Public Works Department. In addition, the 8 compact stalls must be clearly marked in order to avoid any traffic congestion along the drive on the east side of the property. Planning Commission Recommendation - The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the conditional use permit for the private club use, setback variances for the improved parking area, parking stall variance for the compact- cars, and approval of the use of the holding tank based on the limited septic needs of the private club use. The enclosed resolution has been drafted per the Planning Commission recommendation.
