MINUTES OF TAE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,July 20,2015 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> initial few feet are actually used by the neighbor at 300 Stubbs Bay Road. In addition, can the applicant <br /> confirm where the existing septic system is in relation to the new lot line abutting Lot 4. <br /> Bollis stated Lot 5 would have a driveway off the new cul-de-sac and that they have no plans for that <br /> outlot. <br /> Landgraver noted the septic system will be an issue and asked what the intention is for that septic system. <br /> Bollis indicated they would do an easement with a time frame on when that would have to be removed. If <br /> the house is demolished, it would be hooked up to a new septic system. <br /> Landgraver asked if the Planning Commission would propose a hard date or whether that would be a <br /> matter for the City Council or Staff <br /> Gaffron indicated Staff would prefer a hard date. Gaffron indicated he is not sure when Lot 4 will be <br /> built on and that he does not know what the future intent for Lot 5 is. Gaffron stated the longer the time <br /> frame extends, it is unlikely that someone will remember that and that he would as soon as have a certain <br /> date. <br /> Thiesse asked if it is possible to have a non-transferrable easement. <br /> Gaffron stated it is probable. <br /> Thiesse stated he does not want to see a functional septic site be taken away simply for a clerical reason. <br /> Landgraver asked if the applicants are going to use the existing grades or whether they will be performing <br /> additional grading work on the sites. <br /> Bollis stated one of the reasons for why the road is located where it is is to limit the amount of grading on <br /> the site. Bollis indicated the individual lots will be graded by the future owners depending on the location <br /> of the house. Bollis stated the proposed pads could be anywhere behind the 200-foot setback but that he <br /> would not want to force a homeowner to only construct a house in the area of what is depicted on the <br /> plan. <br /> Thiesse asked if he is comfortable with the height requirement and number of stories. <br /> Bollis indicated he is. Bollis noted the squiggly line at the top of the cul-de-sac is to preserve the existing <br /> trees. In total there are 444 trees on the property and the road as proposed only results in the loss of 15 <br /> trees. Bollis stated they could possibly save more trees if the road is narrowed to 24 feet. <br /> Landgraver asked if there is going to be an architectural review committee or standards. <br /> Bollis indicated there will be and that the seven homes will be part of a homeowners association, which <br /> will have an architectural review component to it. <br /> Landgraver noted Commissioner Schoenzeit expressed concerns about a clean sheet since this is a new <br /> development. <br /> Page 12 of 25 <br />
