MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, October 8, 2018 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />Printup commented he would like to see the easements get cleaned up. <br />Crosby asked if the proposed lots are conforming. <br />Barnhart indicated they are not and that they would need to combine lots in order to get to the half -acre <br />minimum. <br />Sven Gustafson, Stonewood, stated the City Council has provided some good direction and that he is here <br />to answer questions. <br />Mark Gronberg, Gronberg & Associates, indicated they looked at some of the lot sizes in the area and that <br />there are a number of lots that are way under the 0.5 threshold. Gronberg asked how that would play into <br />this. <br />Walsh stated the City Council has to deal with the current codes, and unless there is some kind of inherent <br />difficulty, they need to follow that. <br />Walsh commented a cul-de-sac is probably necessary, but he will leave whether the road should be public <br />or private up to the applicant. <br />Gronberg noted a cul-de-sac does take up quite a bit of room and that there are some floodplain issues. <br />As a result, a turnout would work a lot better than a cul-de-sac. <br />Gustafson stated the Planning Commission appeared to be in favor of a hammerhead or a turnout. <br />Printup commented he would like to see the cul-de-sac as one option. <br />Gustafson asked how far the cul-de-sac would be from the water. <br />Gronberg indicated it would be close to the water. <br />Walsh stated that could be considered a practical difficulty, and because the current road is not as wide as <br />it should be, there is some flexibility there. <br />Gronberg noted the area is so narrow in some spots that they will have to encroach into the 75-foot <br />setback. Gronberg asked if there is a magical number on that. <br />Wash stated there are some inherent practical difficulties, which the Council understands, and that they <br />should follow Staff s recommendations. <br />The City Council took no formal action on this item. <br />(A recess was taken from 8:32 p.m. to 8:40 p.m.) <br />15.
