MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> JUNE 19, 2000 <br /> lots are one-half acre in size. Staff would recommend no variances be granted on these lots to have <br /> a structure built on the properties that is not in compliance with the Zoning Code. <br /> City Staff is recommending the property owner pay a park dedication fee for one new lot rather <br /> than offer land for a park dedication. <br /> Weinberger noted only one lakeshore lot is being created as a result of this subdivision, which would <br /> limit the number of docks to one and would only provide access to the owner of Lot 1. Currently <br /> the Sandy Beach area has a joint dock license where there are several docks in the area. Following <br /> removal of the cabins,this joint dock license would be eliminated. <br /> City Staff is recommending approval of the subdivision since it meets all requirements of the <br /> subdivision and zoning chapters for lots created within the LR-1 C District subject to review and <br /> approval by the City Engineer of a revised grading and drainage plan. <br /> Pieper, 1847 Shoreview Lane, inquired who would be responsible for placement of the culvert. <br /> Weinberger indicated the culvert is currently in place but is blocked at this time and needs to be <br /> cleaned out. <br /> Pieper inquired whether the County would be responsible for the cleanout of the culvert. <br /> • Weinberger stated the culvert would be cleaned out as part of the grading that would occur on the <br /> properties to create the driveway. Weinberger stated the developer would be required to clean out <br /> the culvert and divert the water away from the building pads. Weinberger pointed out a culvert is <br /> also necessary under the driveway. <br /> Lindquist inquired whether the area by the Cherry trees is considered to be a protected wetland. <br /> Weinberger stated it is not considered a wetland and is located a few inches above the floodplain. <br /> Patrick O'Reilly, 3928 Cherry Avenue, commented he is pleased to hear that the pond in that area <br /> will be eliminated since it posed a safety threat to young children in the area. O'Reilly stated in <br /> his opinion the one-acre acre lots are appropriate for this area. <br /> Hawn indicated she would be in support of this proposal if the City Engineer is fine with the <br /> proposed grading and drainage. <br /> Lindquist moved, Hawn seconded,to recommend approval of Application#2588, <br /> Robert Pieper, 3995 North Shore Drive, subdivision of a one acre parcel of land into two <br /> one-half acre lots, subject to the review and approval by the City Engineer of a revised <br /> grading and drainage plan, payment of a park dedication fee,the standard easements be <br /> provided to the City, approval of access to the County Road, and with the understanding <br /> that no variances will be allowed on the properties to construct the new residences. <br /> VOTE: Ayes 4,Nays 0. <br /> S <br /> PAGE 7 <br />
