MINUTES OF THE � <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,July 20,2015 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> management guidelines will be incorporated into the development agreement and covenants to assure <br /> adherence. <br /> Staff would recommend that the application be tabled to allow the applicant to address the issues that <br /> have been raised. Another option would be to forward the application to the City Council subject to the <br /> applicant addressing the noted items prior to Council review of the preliminary plat. <br /> Gaffron noted a letter was received from the Millers whose property abuts this site to the west. Gaffron <br /> noted Mrs. Miller is present tonight. <br /> Lemke asked if that squiggly line is where the trees are located at the bottom of the survey. <br /> Gaffron indicated that is his assumption. <br /> Lemke asked whether there is adequate frontage on the cul-de-sac for Lot 5. <br /> Gaffron pointed out Lot 5 on the overhead. Gaffron stated technically it is supposed to be 50 feet back <br /> and 200 feet wide. Gaffron noted it does not reach 200 feet until further back and that he does not <br /> envision a problem constructing a driveway for that lot. Gaffron stated it is more a question of how many <br /> lots should be at the end of the cul-de-sac. The City has granted variances for multiple lots on a cul-de- <br /> sac previously but that street maintenance and plowing in the winter could become an issue with the <br /> multiple driveways. Gaffron stated if there is a house adjacent to someone's driveway,that can also <br /> become an annoyance, which is one reason why the City does not like to see long, narrow corridors. <br /> Lemke asked if the City would get involved if Outlot A gets developed at some point. <br /> Gaffron stated the City would be involved, and that if the property owners wanted to subdivide it at some <br /> point in the future, it would come before the Planning Commission as a subdivision. <br /> Lemke asked if there is a reason why it is not part of the plan currently. <br /> Gaffron indicated that question will need to be addressed by the applicant. <br /> Landgraver asked if that outlot would be divided into four 2-acre lots. <br /> Gaffron stated potentially four but that it is more likely three lots due to the wetland that will reduce some <br /> of the dry buildable acreage. <br /> Lemke asked if it would be possible to get the road off of Stubbs Bay or whether it has to come off of the <br /> cul-de-sac extension. <br /> Gaffron stated there are a couple of different options. Gaffron indicated the driveway for the house at 300 <br /> Stubbs Bay Road is right at the edge so they do not make use of the entire outlot. Gaffron noted there is <br /> steep topography and woods going down to the wetland which does not necessarily preclude a road going <br /> through there. Gaffron indicated there are two possible locations to construct a road in that outlot, and if <br /> other properties were involved, there could possibly be a third option to bring a road in through there. <br /> Thiesse asked if access to Lot 5 comes from Stubbs Bay over Outlot A <br /> Page 6 of 25 <br />
