MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> JULY 17, 2000 <br /> 411 <br /> (#2602 JOHN GRAHAM, Continued) <br /> slope. Both lots have demonstrated two sites on each lot that would permit the land to be <br /> subdivided with the new standards and have been approved by the Septic Inspector. <br /> Weinberger stated the standard drainage and utility easements shall be dedicated on the final plat <br /> ten feet along the exterior property lines and five feet along the interior property lines, with an <br /> easement and maintenance agreement being recorded with the final plat for the shared driveway <br /> access. A certified list of all easements recorded on the property shall be submitted prior to final <br /> plat application. <br /> Weinberger recommended the property owner pay a park dedication fee for one new lot rather than <br /> offer land for a park dedication. <br /> City Staff is recommending approval of the preliminary plat since both lots meet the requirements <br /> for subdivision in this zoning district and have demonstrated suitable septic sites. <br /> Graham stated at the present time there are no plans to develop Lot 1 at the present time, although <br /> they may wish to develop Lot 1 sometime in the future. Graham noted they have recently <br /> purchased the property in September. <br /> Smith inquired what amount of time they were contemplating before Lot 1 would be developed. <br /> • Graham stated they are easily looking at five, six or seven years before they would develop Lot 1. <br /> Graham commented they would like to keep the existing storage building since ownership of both <br /> lots would not change with this subdivision. <br /> Smith inquired whether the Applicant would be interested in relocating the shed onto Lot 2. <br /> Graham stated they have discussed that, but at this time have not made a definite decision on <br /> relocating the building. Graham stated the building is in good shape at the present time. Graham <br /> inquired whether it would be possible to waive the park dedication fee since they currently have <br /> almost a one-half acre of a conservation easement dedicated to the City. <br /> Weinberger stated the park dedication fees are a result of the existing land and arc required on each <br /> new lot created. Weinberger noted the City Council makes the final determination on whether the <br /> park dedication fee can be waived. Currently City Ordinance requires that a park dedication fee <br /> be paid on every new lot created or there be a land dedication. <br /> Graham indicated he has no further comments regarding his application. <br /> There were no public comments regarding this application. <br /> Smith inquired whether an outlot for this subdivision should be created to deal with the issues <br /> relating to the shared driveway. <br /> Gaffron stated the City typically will request an outlot be created in the situation of a back lot/front <br /> lot situation. Gaffron stated the City has many shared driveways at the present time. <br /> PAGE 9 <br />
