• . <br /> MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,May 18,2015 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Gaffron indicated it is 3.9 acres contiguous dry buildable. <br /> Leskinen stated she is not aware of a time when the City has approved or created a nonconforming lot. <br /> Leskinen commented it is unfortunate where the wetland cuts through this site and that they are a tenth of <br /> an acre short. Leskinen noted she also is a tenth of an acre short on her own property from being able to <br /> subdivide as well. <br /> Leskinen stated the City has not done it in the past, City Code does not allow it, and she would not be in <br /> favor of creating a nonconforming lot Leskinen noted it has nothing to do with the septic but that it is a <br /> slippery slope that she would prefer the City not go down. <br /> Lemke stated coupled with the fact that there might not be two septic sites and a slope, it would make <br /> sense to make a recommendation that it is not a doable thing. <br /> Thiesse indicated he concurs. <br /> Leskinen stated she does not want the applicant to incur additional expenses in septic site testing only to <br /> find out that the subdivision will not be able to happen. Leskinen stated in the view of the Planning <br /> Commission, this is not a dividable lot <br /> Gaffron stated the applicants have the option to also bring this as a sketch plan before the City Council to <br /> see if they concur with the Planning Commission. <br /> William Wixon stated they have approximately one-half acre that is noncontiguous and is located across <br /> the wetland. Wixon asked if there is any way to connect or get credit for that approximately one-half <br /> acre, such as by building a bridge, in order to make this two lots. <br /> Leskinen stated the contiguous dry buildable is the issue and that there is no way to make it contiguous. <br /> The Planning Commission took no formal action on this item. <br /> 6. #15-3734 CHRISTOPHER BOLLIS,200 AND 350 STUBBS BAY ROAD NORTH, <br /> SKETCH PLAN REVIEW,9:35 P.M.— 10:05 P.M. <br /> Christopher Bollis, Applicant, was present. <br /> Gaffron stated the applicant has presented a sketch plan proposing that a 31-acre piece of property <br /> comprised of two separate tax parcels be divided into seven single-family residential lots and one larger <br /> parcel to the southwest for potential future development. The larger parcel could be served by either <br /> Stubbs Bay Road to the north or the extension of Kintyre Lane that is proposed to serve the seven new <br /> lots would be served by a new private road and cul-de-sac that would be an extension of Kintyre Lane. <br /> All lots would be served by on-site sewage treatment systems and private wells. <br /> As it relates to the Comprehensive Plan, it is in conformity with the guiding in this area consisting of one <br /> house per acres. There is sufficient dry buildable for each of the seven lots. The site is located in the <br /> RR-1 B zoning district. Each proposed lot appears to have 2.0 dry acres buildable. Some of the lots, <br /> based on topography and location of wetlands, might be more difficult than others to actually locate <br /> Page 28 of 37 <br />
