MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, November 18, 2019 <br />6:30 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 5 of 5 <br /> <br />McCutcheon said the safety of the road is a big issue because there are no lights in Orono, especially if <br />someone is lost or for UPS drivers. It is one thing when you have one person's driveway who has driven it <br />their whole life, but when you open it up to the public, it’s a concern. <br /> <br />Thiesse commented the UPS guy will be thrilled he has a turnaround instead of backing all the way up. <br /> <br />Ressler said if it wasn't for the fact that the Commission would be approving an emergency vehicle <br />turnaround and the cul-de-sac, he is not sure he would be in support of anything being subdivided. If that <br />is something that benefits the rest of the peninsula, he could see perhaps another house next to the <br />structure that is there right now as long as it is within lake yard setback requirements. It is potentially the <br />one that does show up on what the Commission has been looking at under Lot 1 but under the same <br />premise, which appears that it would not meet the lake yard setback at best. <br /> <br />Thiesse asked whether floodplain fill was outside of the Commissioners' jurisdiction and clarified the <br />applicant would have to get permits elsewhere. <br /> <br />Barnhart said the Commissioners would have to approve a Conditional Use Permit for any fill. He <br />confirmed they would get permits elsewhere but also from the Commission. Standards have been adopted <br />in the City Code, and the Commissioners would apply those to that type of application. He stated he has <br />feedback to share with the applicant and City Council and then it can move forward. <br />
