r <br /> MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,June 18,2001 <br /> :(Baywind Christian Church,Continued) <br /> Hawn inquired what thoughts the Planning Commission had relating to standard number three <br /> requiring that churches be located on a collector or arterial roadway as identified in the Orono <br /> Comprehensive Plan or otherwise located so that access will be provided without conducting <br /> significant traffic onto local residential streets. <br /> Kluth inquired whether this condition also applies to churches in the `R' District. <br /> Gaffron stated it does not. Gaffron stated this is new language. <br /> Stoddard stated in his view for consistency it should be omitted since it is not being required of other <br /> churches in other areas. <br /> Kluth stated the Council can regulate ingress and egress. <br /> Hawn stated the conditions the Planning Commission is reviewing are conditions that might be <br /> involved with a conditional use permit. Hawn stated in her view a church within a B-4 District is <br /> different from a church located in a residential district where it is less likely to be located on a <br /> collector or county road. <br /> Kluth commented each application is unique in one way or another, and that the Council would have <br /> the option of putting certain restrictions on the use. <br /> Hawn stated the Planning Commission is considering performance standards for churches within the <br /> B-4 District. <br /> Hawn inquired if there is a problem with having the church have a separate ro ad ingress and egress <br /> for what is typically a Sunday use. <br /> Kluth stated it currently is not a standard in the `R' District. <br /> Hawn stated this standard would apply to churches only located in the B-4 District. <br /> Kluth stated he has concerns about placing conditions on churches within the 13-4 District where those <br /> conditions are not being applied to churches located in residential districts. <br /> Hawn stated for churches that are located in a residential district,they may only have residential <br /> streets to access the church. Hawn stated in her opinion in general the people will be using the <br /> collector street to access this particular site. <br /> Kluth stated he does not want to be looking at standards for one specific location but rather at <br /> standards that apply to the entire B-4 District. Kluth stated by placing a requirement relating to <br /> arterial access may not work for all lots located within the B-4 District. <br /> Gaffron stated all the lots in the B-4 District have arterial access. <br /> PAGE 12 <br />
