' MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,June 15,2015 <br /> 6:30 dclock p.m. <br /> Irwin Jacobs, Applicant, was present. <br /> Barnhart stated this is a sketch plan review for a 29-acre property comprised of one parcel. The applicant <br /> is proposing to divide tlle parcel into four single-family residential lots. The new lots will be created on <br /> the portion of the property north of the home and accessed by an extension of Heritage Lane from the <br /> west. The existing home and its accessory structures and buildings will be contained within Lot 4. All <br /> lots are proposed to be served with private wells and City sewer. <br /> The proposed 4-lot subdivision appears to be in conformity with the guiding of this area for single-family <br /> rural residential development at a density of one unit per two acres. The properties are located in the <br /> LR-lA District, which allows for single-family residential uses with a minimum lot size of two dry <br /> buildable acres. The sketch submitted by the applicant appears to meet this requirement. The proposed <br /> single-family development also appears to be consistent with existing development in the surrounding <br /> neighborhood. <br /> Barnhart indicated the property generally slopes downward from a high point in the middle toward <br /> Tanager Lake to the north/northeast and then to the wetland in the south. Barnhart noted the wetland has <br /> not yet been delineated, which will need to occur. The north half of the site is heavily wooded, with two <br /> defined bluffs on the property. <br /> Barnhart noted Lots 1 through 3 will be accessed via an extension of Heritage Lane from the west. The <br /> Planning Commission should consider whether a corridor should be preserved for a possible extension <br /> from Heritage Lane to the soutl�. <br /> Barnhart indicated the applicant is looking far feedback from the Planning Commission on the sketch <br /> plan. <br /> Thiesse asked how long the cul-de-sac is. <br /> Landgraver noted Heritage Lane will be 1,600 feet with the cul-de-sac. <br /> Schoenzeit asked how many units it would serve. <br /> Page 67 of 79 <br />
