MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> MARCH 19,2001 <br /> (#01-2663 Craig Alshouse, Continued) <br /> required to appear before the Planning Commission. <br /> Alshouse stated in his opinion the Planning Commission has the power in the future to restrict the use <br /> of these structures. <br /> Hawn inquired whether the Applicant would be willing to work with the City Attorney in order to <br /> come up with some acceptable language restricting the use of these structures to livestock. <br /> Alshouse stated he would be agreeable to that. <br /> Kluth stated the restrictive covenant could be added as an additional condition of approval. Kluth <br /> stated the original conditional use permit was probably granted because the buildings were located on <br /> a large parcel of land. <br /> Alshouse indicated the house with the two oversized accessory structures was originally located on <br /> seven acres of land at the time the conditional use permit was granted. <br /> Weinberger stated one of the accessory structures was constructed in approximately 1970. <br /> Mabusth commented a variance would be required if the property owner wished to house additional <br /> horses in excess of what the ordinances allow. Mabusth stated there appears to be a <br /> pathway that currently exists. <br /> Weinberger stated the areas used for traveling purposes would be deducted from the buildable area of <br /> the lot. Weinberger stated they are considering locating the pathway along the property lines. <br /> Weinberger indicated these trails would not be heavily used and would principally be a dirt path for <br /> use by the horses. Weinberger stated Staff is aware that there will be a trail easement in the future, <br /> but at this time the exact location of the trail has not been determined. <br /> Hawn inquired whether the discussion by the Planning Commission has prompted any public <br /> comments regarding this application. <br /> Greg Kellenberger, 4045 Watertown Road, stated the neighbors in this area have been allowed the <br /> use of the indoor arena in the past and they would be in support of having these buildings remain. <br /> Kellenberger stated, if possible,they would like to continue to utilize the indoor riding arena. <br /> Anita Lang, 615 Orchard Park Road, commented that Orchard Park Road at the present time is in <br /> poor condition and inquired whether it would be improved with this development. <br /> Gaffron stated a cloverleaf type intersection would be constructed at the intersection of County <br /> Road 6 and Highway 12 as part of the Highway 12 re-route project. Gaffron indicated the <br /> intersection of Orchard Park and County Road 6 is located further west than the cloverleaf. Gaffron <br /> stated the four proposed new lots are expected to add approximately ten cars per day each to the <br /> amount of traffic on Orchard Park Road, which is fairly insignificant for this road. Gaffron stated he <br /> is not able to address the condition of Orchard Park Road at this time and would need to discuss with <br /> the Public Works Department whether any possible improvements for Orchard Park <br /> Road are scheduled in the near future. <br /> PAGE 9 <br />
