REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Department Approval: Administrator Reviewed: Name Title Paul Weinberger Zoning Administrator Item Description: #2550 Charles Van Eeckhout 120 South Brown Road Class III Subdivision Conditional Use Permit for a PRD Zoning District: RR-lB One Family Rural Residential List of Exhibits: A TEP Panel Findings and Determination B Letter From Apple Glen Road Property Owner (August 21, 2000) DATE: December 15, 2000 ITEM NO.: Agenda Section: Zoning C Letter From John and Mary Dunn -adjacent property owners (September 23, 2000) D Plat Map E Proposed Lot Layout On December 14th Staff had a meeting with Mr. Van Eeckhout to discuss a revision to the lot layout. The revised plan would eliminate 3 lots, reducing the total lot, to 4, 2 with access to Brown Road and 2 with access to Apple Glen Road. The previous application requested an extension to Apple Glen and access for 7 lots through Long Lake. Mr. Van Eeckhout is scheduled to meet with the Long Lake Planning Commission on January 9, 2001 to discuss this issue. While a resolution for denial of the subdivision would be made available to the Council at the December 18th meeting, the applicant would like to have the opportunity to present the revised proposal to the Orono Planning Commission at their January 17, 2001 meeting. This option would require the Council vote to return the subdivision request to a public hearing with the Planning Commission. The Orono Planning Commission would have their first opportunity to review the proposal after the Long Lake Planning Commission has had an opportunity to comment on the issue of access. The three primary issues that have been identified throughout the process have been the wetland boundary determination (in November the TEP determined they agreed with the wetland boundaries as identified by Svobota), the number and size of the 4 proposed lots at the north end of the subdivision (applicant proposed to reduce the number oflots from 4 to 2 adjacent to Long Lake) and resolution of the access to the lots (this will be reviewed in January by Long Lake). The new plan would remove 3 new building sites from the previous proposal and only 2 lots would access Apple Glen, rather than 7. This is an opportunity to develop the 20 acre site (14 + acres dry buildable) and protect the environmentally sensitive areas along the Long Lake Creek and Luce Line trail. Any future subdivision of a lot would require an amendment to the Planned Residential Development (PRD) in addition to meeting the requirements of the Zoning and Subdivision Codes.
