ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> MINUTES FOR APRIL 17, 2000 <br /> • <br /> (#2549 David Lovelace, Continued) <br /> Mrs. Uran stated she is in agreement with the recommendations, but questioned whether both dock <br /> and vehicle access need to be provided at separate locations since vehicle access is only possible <br /> during the winter months. <br /> Gaffron stated the City needs to address permanent dock access for the inland lots. <br /> Hawn commented the City is looking at the topography and the suitability of the land in order to <br /> provide access to the inland lots. <br /> Mr. Uran stated he has concerns about people traveling over his land to gain access to the inland <br /> lots. <br /> Gaffron stated the City needs to take steps to address the erosion in this area as well as how to <br /> access the inland lots. Gaffron reiterated that Access Point C is wide enough to accommodate two <br /> docks. Gaffron noted that he only became aware of the location of the roadway this afternoon, which <br /> will need to be further addressed. <br /> Mr. Uran inquired how access relating to construction on Big Island will be handled. <br /> Gaffron stated that issue will also need to be further addressed, noting that they are primarily looking <br /> at providing an access point to enable the inland property access to their land. <br /> Hawn commented there are other issues on Big Island that need to be addressed as well relating to <br /> • the amount of debris and vehicles on the Island. Hawn stated the residents of Big Island need to <br /> comply with Orono's standards as well as the residents on the mainland. <br /> Mrs. Uran commented that the two are separate and should not be compared. <br /> Hawn reiterated that the residents of Big Island need to take care of the Island. Hawn inquired <br /> whether the Urans would be in favor of one dock or two docks at Access C. <br /> Mrs. Uran stated she would prefer one dock at this location. <br /> Hawn stated in her view it appears that both Lovelace and Scheftel are entitled to their own dock at <br /> Access Point C. <br /> Scheftel stated she is willing to share a dock with Lovelace. <br /> Hawn questioned whether the City is looking at insuring the rights of each individual property owner <br /> to have access to its own dock. <br /> Gaffron stated it is the City's intent to provide a public accessway to the inland properties, and <br /> whether it happens via one dock per property owner or a shared dock will require the property owners <br /> to comply with whatever the City deems to be appropriate. <br /> John Eiden, 330 Big Island, inquired whether Access Point D would be acceptable. <br /> Gaffron stated this is a possible future access point on the south end of the island, but due to the <br /> merging lot lines, there may not be sufficient room to have more than two docks at this location. <br /> • <br /> Page 7 <br />
