MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> Tuesday,February 19,2002 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#01-2706 Richard and Jane Stark, Continued) <br /> Peterson inquired whether the sewer line could be relocated back to where it was supposed to be. <br /> Weinberger stated the sewer line could probably be relocated,noting that it was placed in its present <br /> location because the previous property owners had requested it be relocated. Weinberger stated if the <br /> adjoining property owner agrees to give an easement,the sewer line could be relocated. Weinberger <br /> stated currently the City does not have an easement for the sewer line in the neighboring property. <br /> Hawn inquired whether the Applicant would like to have this application tabled or proceed forward to <br /> the City Council. <br /> Peterson stated they would like to move ahead. <br /> Hawn commented it is likely the City Council would send it back to the Planning Commission since <br /> there are a number of unresolved issues. <br /> Peterson stated in terms of the drainage to the street,there is a drainage and utility easement that would <br /> handle the runoff from the street,with a ditch carrying water from the north side of the road across into <br /> the wetlands. Peterson stated they could construct a swale or ditch on their side of the road,which <br /> should address all of the drainage concerns. <br /> Peterson stated if the garage is relocated closer to the house,it will impact the front yard setback. <br /> Rahn stated he personally would like the garage to be closer to the front yard setback than where it is <br /> presently proposed. <br /> It was the consensus of the Planning Commission that they would rather see the garage closer to the <br /> front yard setback than in its present location. <br /> Hawn commented it appears to be the recommendation of the Planning Commission that this item be <br /> tabled, with the idea that the Applicant look at revising his plans somewhat to relocate the garage out of <br /> the wetland area,depict access on the plan and the actual layout of the driveway. Hawn stated by that <br /> time the City should have the comments of the City Engineer concerning drainage and the Public Works <br /> Director on the access issue. <br /> Hawn stated the Planning Commission would like to see the garage relocated further away from the <br /> Type 3 wetland. <br /> Rahn stated he would be more receptive to granting a front yard setback than a wetland variance. Other <br /> Planning Commission members agreed. <br /> Peterson requested his application be tabled. <br /> Hawn moved, Smith seconded,to table Application#02-2745,Ilona and Kenneth Peterson, <br /> 1074 Wildhurst Trail,to allow the Applicant time to revise his plans.
