u ; <br /> MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,June 18,2001 <br /> (#01-2688 Kirtland Woodhouse,Continued) <br /> The east parcel and middle parcel have been developed with the residence oriented towards the lake, <br /> with the lake side being considered the front yard and the north being considered the rear property <br /> line. To be consistent with the yards of the other two properties,the yards for the vacant west parcel <br /> could be defined as follows: <br /> - Front—lake side along driveway, beginning at the southern point of the reconfigured west parcel <br /> and extending northward along the curve to the point where the driveway straightens out. <br /> - Rear—north as shown by surveyor. <br /> - Side yard—west side along driveway and along east property line adjacent to the middle parcel. <br /> - It is questionable whether the west side lot line adjacent to the driveway should be treated as a <br /> side street. Staff recommends that it be simply a side lot line. <br /> Bottenberg noted only the east parcel will have lake access. <br /> Staff is recommending approval of the lot line rearrangement as proposed on the survey based on the <br /> following conditions: <br /> 1. The City accepts yard setback demarcation as shown on the survey and neither lot width nor <br /> setback variances will be needed to build on the west lot. <br /> 2. The applicant shall grant drainage and utility easements,to replace any such existing easements <br /> which no longer follow lot lines. <br /> Winton stated he does not have any additional comments to Staffs report. <br /> Kurt Retzler, 1100 Heritage Lane, expressed concerns regarding headlights from the traffic on the <br /> driveway coming into their residences. <br /> Hawn stated the applicant will need to meet all the code requirements. <br /> Gaffron stated there is a 30 foot required setback,with the closest the home could be constructed <br /> being 50 feet from the lot line. Gaffron stated the lot line rearrangement does meet the City's <br /> standards. <br /> Lindquist stated as long as the construction of the house meets the standards of the City,they can <br /> build accordingly. <br /> Melanie Flessner, 1190 Heritage Lane, stated she has lived in this area for seven years and has some <br /> concerns regarding increased traffic if another residence is built in this area. Flessner stated the <br /> private driveway serves three homes and she would like to see some vegetation or screening along the <br /> roadway to limit the impact of the headlights flashing into their residences. Flessner expressed <br /> concerns that a much larger home than what currently exists in the neighborhood will be built. <br /> Hawn stated the house must meet all code setbacks and other requirements, with the height being <br /> restricted to 30 feet. <br /> PAGE 16 <br />
