MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday, May 19, 2003 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> SCHEDULED PUBLIC HEARING- 7:00 P.M. <br /> (#13) #03-2900 WM. YALE SMILEY III AND TIMOTHY J. MAHONEY, 2730 <br /> AND 2760 PHEASANT ROAD, REARRANGEMENT OF COMMON PROPERTY <br /> LINE 7:48—7:55 P.M. <br /> Mr. Smiley, representing the applicants, was present. <br /> Gaffron explained that the applicants were requesting approval for a lot line rearrangement <br /> between these two developed residential lots. Mr. Smiley would be acquiring a portion of <br /> the Mahoney property near the road for construction of an attached garage addition. In <br /> exchange, Mahoney would gain an additional 5' of width from the house to the lakeshore, <br /> resulting in an equal acreage trade. <br /> Since both existing homes meet required setbacks, and the proposed attached garage and <br /> deck additions will meet the required 10' side setback and average lakeshore setback when <br /> the lot line rearrangement is completed, Gaffron noted that staff recommends approval of <br /> the lot line rearrangement. He added that approval should be subject to the applicants <br /> granting a 10' drainage and utility easement(5' either side of the new lot line) and they <br /> provide title opinion to confirm ownership of each property. <br /> Mr. Smiley had nothing to add, however, commented that many of the homes along the <br /> road are 20' apart, whereas, these homes would have a 40' separation. <br /> There were no public comments. <br /> Hawn moved, Rahn seconded, recommending approval of Application #03-2900,Wm. <br /> Smiley III and Timothy J. Mahoney, 2730 and 2760 Pheasant Road, a lot line <br /> rearrangement subject to the two conditions presented by staff.
