� ., .� <br /> MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,May 18,2015 <br /> 6:30 dclock p.m. <br /> Gaffron stated the parcel that would not be developed likely would be platted as an outlot. If it is not <br /> platted as an outlot but platted as a lot,there would need to be septic testing completed and the lot would <br /> be subject to stormwater and drainage trunk fees. Gaffron stated there is not a problem with leaving it as <br /> an outlot. The other option would be to combine it with the adjoining property. <br /> Gaffron stated from Staff's perspective, what has been presented is in general a good layout, and if <br /> everything tests fine for septic, he would not have a problem with it. <br /> Bollis stated since they have submitted their sketch plan, the onsite review by the Watershed was <br /> completed. Bollis indicated the wetland on Lot 2 is actually considerably smaller than what was <br /> originally delineated. The first 80 feet of the wetland was determined to be upland, which helps a lot with <br /> building pad and septic. Bollis stated the open ponds are proposed ponds for stormwater management <br /> and are not natural wetlands. <br /> Thiesse asked about the existing cul-de-sac and whether it would be made a through road. <br /> Gaffron stated it is platted as an outlot up to a certain point with a separate tax parcel at the end. Gaffron <br /> stated one of the discussion points as this plan progresses is whether one of the cul-de-sacs could <br /> disappear. Since it is platted,there would need to be a vacation of that outlot and perhaps be combined <br /> with one of the adjacent lots. <br /> Thiesse stated it could be a nice turnaround halfway there except it could potentially create a traffic <br /> problem if someone was coming over the hill. Thiesse asked if there is surmountable curb on the cul-de- <br /> sac. <br /> Bollis stated there is surmountable curb on the cul-de-sac and that it would be nice to remove that if <br /> possible. Bollis noted there is a similar cul-de-sac in Graham Hill approximately 1,500 feet in length. <br /> Leskinen asked what the total length of the road is. <br /> Gaffron indicated it is approximately 1,500 feet from Watertown Road. <br /> An audience member asked if public comment would be allowed. <br /> Gaffron noted this is a sketch plan review and that the public is not notified and public comments are <br /> typically not taken,but the Planning Commission has the option of accepting public comments. <br /> Chair Leskinen stated she would allow public comments. <br /> Susan Fleming, 300 Stubbs Bay Road, stated they would be very disappointed if that turned into a road <br /> going out to Stubbs Bay Road. Fleming asked whether these homes are going to be walkouts or single- <br /> level homes, because they would be looking directly at three level homes if they are walkouts. Fleming <br /> stated in her view Lot 6 is a really flat lot and that she is not sure how they could put a walkout there. <br /> Dick Stubbs, 400 Stubbs Bay Road, stated they will not want a driveway on the north end since it is really <br /> low land that floods out every spring. <br /> Gaffron stated he is not sure if there is an answer to define what type of house could go on Lot 6. <br /> Page 33 of 37 <br />
