• MINUTES OF THE CITY OF ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON APRIL 18, 1994 ATTENDANCE The Orono Planning Commission met on April 18, 1994 in the Orono City Council Chambers with the following members present: Chair Charles Schroeder, Sandra Smith, Charles Nolan, Steve Peterson, Janice Berg and Dale Lindquist. Commissioner Candace Rowlette was excused. The following represented staff: Building and Zoning Administrator Jeanne Mabusth, Assistant Planning and Zoning Administrator Michael Gaffron, and City Recorder Barbara Anderson. Chair Schroeder called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. ( #1) #1914 THOMAS G. AND PHYLLIS COLWELL /TIM AND BETH TRAFF, 1130 OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD AND 2640 NORTH SHORE DRIVE - SUBDIVISION OF A LOT LINE REARRANGEMENT Gaffron gave the staff report and noted that staff recommended approval of the request under either of the two options listed in the staff report. Peterson asked about the garage and Gaffron responded that it would continue to be located 10' from the lot line and belongs to the Colwell's. Tom Colwell stated that they had initially jogged the lot line to meet the two -acre lot area requirement. Smith asked if there was the potential for another subdivision in the future and • Gaffron responded that staff had not analyzed that potential. Mabusth commented that Lot 3 was no longer deemed to be a buildable lot, and it was unlikely there would be further subdivision on this property. Lindquist asked about the staff recommendation and Gaffron responded that depending on a number of factors, at the discretion of the County Surveyor, this may have to be a replat rather than a metes - and - bounds division. If a plat is done, it will have to be reviewed twice by the City Council whereas if a metes and bounds description is used, it only requires review once by the Council. Mr. Colwell stated that his surveyor had recommended that they do a formal plat to avoid any further complications. Chair Schroeder opened the Public Hearing. Tim Traff noted that it was more expensive to do a plat rather than a metes and bounds description. He asked if there were any variances from the new ordinance requiring a 150' setback instead of the 75' distance. Chair Schroeder responded affirmatively. As no one else wished to speak, he closed the Public Hearing. It was moved by Smith, seconded by Peterson, to recommend approval of #1914 Subdivision /Lot Line Rearrangement for Thomas G. and Phyllis Colwell /Tim and Beth Traff at 1130 Old Crystal Bay Road and 2640 North Shore Drive per the staff recommendation.
