MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING — SEPTEMBER 16, 1991 <br />MING FILE 01683 — CONT. <br />Cohen read a petition submitted by a group of neighboring <br />Is residents which requested that no septic tank drainfield be <br />constructed within a reasonable distance from each boundary of <br />the newly created lots as most homes on Hackberry have their <br />wells on their western lot line and the drainage from the <br />property proposed for development runs across the back yards of <br />the Hackberry homes, and requesting that the "cartway" that runs <br />along the eastern lot line to remain for use by the Hackberry <br />neighbors. <br />Dunwreath Peasley, 98 Hackberry Hill, explained the Mr. <br />Suess installed a fence 21' to the west of his eastern lot line <br />to be used as a cartway by himself and neighbors. He noted that <br />cartway has existed for as long as he has lived there, 27 years. <br />He also explained that drainage does run off the property into <br />the Hackberry Hill neighborhood. He said he currently has 3" of <br />standing water in his back yard. <br />Richard Wagner, 35 Hackberry Hill, felt that Mr. Suess put <br />the cartway in for his own use and should be able to develop his <br />property without restrictions on that cartway by the neighboring <br />property owners. He said there is a natural flow that runs down <br />Watertown Road into the neighborhood. <br />Dave Fisher, 141 Hackberry Hill, noted if the cartway were <br />to remain it would be nice, but felt it would be up to the new <br />owners to set up. <br />Wagner said his wells are far enough away from the proposed <br />subdivision and there should be no problem. <br />The owner, 119 Hackberry Hill, noted that he lives directly <br />on the other side of the proposed subdivision and explained that <br />run off from the field does end up in his back yard. <br />Peasley noted that 30' from his present well is standing <br />water. <br />Rowlette noted that site grading and drainage plans have not <br />been submitted. <br />Haislet noted that they are willing to supply those, but <br />were notified too late for inclusion in the Commission's packets. <br />Johnson felt <br />that <br />they are creating <br />two addition lots, not <br />three, and should <br />be <br />allowed to use the <br />outlot as <br />a private <br />drive. <br />Rowlette felt <br />that <br />more information <br />is needed. <br />She noted <br />that the property <br />to the <br />north will more <br />than likely <br />be developed <br />at some point, but <br />it isn't <br />necessary to <br />install the <br />private road <br />or cul —de —sac at <br />this <br />point. She also <br />felt it was <br />a terrible <br />waste and expense <br />to have <br />the current owner <br />move his <br />driveway. <br />7 <br />
