MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNWG COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,June 15,2015 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> it. Funk stated access to the north may be an issue, but the elevation of Old Crystal Bay Road was <br /> lowered by two feet. Funk stated if the driveway is put on grade, which their driveway is, it should be <br /> almost the same view, so it should not be a problem. Funk stated they were going to include a split <br /> driveway but Staff said it would have a better chance of being approved if it is not a split driveway. <br /> Lemke asked if the 1,008 square feet was a mistake. <br /> Funk stated that was his mistake, and that they originally took the size of the garage with the siding on it, <br /> and the surveyor said it is the footprint of the concrete block that is measured. <br /> Leskinen asked if they will require a 15 or 30-foot setback. <br /> Barnhart stated anything above 1,000 square feet would require a 30-foot setback. <br /> Chair Leskinen opened the public hearing at 8:35 p.m. <br /> David Harmon, 505 South Old Crystal Bay Road, stated he and his wife are in support of the application <br /> and that in their view another home will have any adverse impact on them. Harmon stated they are <br /> looking forward to having another family in the neighborhood. <br /> Chair Leskinen closed the public hearing at 8:36 p.m. <br /> Leskinen suggested the Planning Commission start with the garage setback. <br /> McGrann asked what options the Planning Commission has. <br /> Landgraver stated it would either require a 30-foot setback or require a variance application. <br /> Leskinen stated it would be easier to move the line than the building. Leskinen stated since this is a new <br /> lot,the City would not be willing to create a substandard lot, and that the size of the building could either <br /> be reduced or the line changed. <br /> Schoenzeit noted it will be a much sharper angle. Schoenzeit asked if the lot line rearrangement would <br /> impact the septic site. <br /> Barnhart stated if the line is shifted over 15 feet to the north, it would not really impact the septic site in <br /> terms of serving the lot to the north. If the line is shifted to the other side of the septic system, that lot <br /> would become too small. <br /> Landgraver asked where the line would intersect on the right-hand side. Landgraver asked if that is a <br /> wetland in that area. <br /> Barnhart illustrated on the overhead where the line would be. <br /> Thiesse asked if the City has any criteria about a newly created lot having an old septic site. <br /> Barnhart stated the City has a report on the septic system and the septic inspector is comfortable with that <br /> report. <br /> Page 19 of 53 <br />
