MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday, October 16,2000 • (#2621 James Barth, Continued) Bottenberg stated the preliminary plat does not indicate where the driveway would be located. The City Engineer has indicated that any driveway should provide adequate sight lines to exit/enter from Togo Road,with the driveway being located at least five feet from either the west or east property lines. Approval by the Public Services Director of the driveway access is required. Bottenberg stated the current residence on Lot 1 currently has sewer and water,with a sewer stub for Parcel 2 being available. The property was assessed in 1965 on a footage basis,with no additional sewer connection charge being due. Bottenberg stated there also is a water stub in place for Parcel 2,with the property being assessed for two water units in 1970. The only additional charges due would be$360.00 for the 1999 Navarre Water Treatment Plant rehabilitation connection charge for Lot 2. Bottenberg noted there has been a permit issued by the Building Official in September of 2000 for a 24'by 42' detached garage on what will become Lot 2. By City Code an accessory building is not allowed without a primary structure on the property. The Applicant has been made aware of this code requirement. Staff would recommend that the accessory structure be allowed to remain on the lot as long as a building permit for a residence is obtained within one year from the date of final plat approval,with removal of the accessory building being required if no building permit is obtained within one year. Bottenberg noted the standard drainage and utility easements shall be dedicated on the final plat • 10 feet along the boundaries of the property line and five feet along all internal property lines. Bottenberg indicated a 15 foot right-of-way shall be dedicated on the plat from the center of Togo Road for each parcel,which will reduce the existing house's front setback from 31 feet to 21 feet. City Staff recommends approval of the application. Barth stated the driveway would be located 15 feet from the property line. Lindquist inquired whether the Applicant would be willing to meet the conditions set forth in the October 16,2000 Planner's Report. Barth indicated he does not have a problem with meeting the City's requirements. Hawn stated she does not have a problem with the application. There were no public comments regarding this application.
