Motion, Ayes-5, #1334 SIDNEY REDERS 715 NORTH DROVE ROAD CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION Mr. Sidney Rebers, Mr. Stephen Pf laum, and Mr. Robert Kost were present for this matter. Mr. John Shardlow was 31so present as a Planning Consultant for the City of Orono. As explained by City Administrator Sernhardson, Mr. Rebers was seeking approval of a conditional use permit and preliminary subdivision for a planned residential development (PRD). He reminded the Council that the rezoning application for this property had been presented and approved on October 10, 1988. One of the main issues that was discussed during the review process was the access road being a looped road rather than a cul de sac. The Planning Commission recommended a looped road and that the access be moved farther north to the crest of the hill on North Brown Road. Woodland preservation was another issue that was addressed. There will be specifications within the covenants as well as the Subdivider's Agreement. The present proposal is to restrict the removal of any tree over 2" in diameter within the side and real yard setbacks. Approval of the final subdivision would be contingent upon municipal sewer being available to the property. The applicant would be assessed for the sewer to his property and would also share in the cost of upgrading Brown Road at the time that would occur. The City anticipates that M.S.A. funds would be available for the major portion of Brown Road upgrade. Issues yet to be addressed would be the frontage road and possible alignment of North Brown Road. These issues would be brought forth following the development of the residential area. The southern portion of Mr. Rebers' property is not being developed at this time. There is specific property designated as an ourlot that would be utilized as a frontage road. Mr. Shardlow gave a brief synopsis of this application and how it related to the Highway 12 Corridor Study and Amended Comprehensive Plan for Orono. The Rebers' rezoninq request was consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. The key issues, Mr. Shardlow felt, were those Mr. Tim Adams set forth in 5
