• MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD APRIL 19, 1993 ZONING FILE #1813 — CONT. Mabusth noted if the house were destroyed, a lot area and width variance would be needed to rebuild. Bellows stated they are asking for the creation of something highly irregular. Kvhar noted, if approved, they would be responsible for the creation of necessary documents. Cohen inquired about exchanging land with the adjacent property owner. Niska arrived, and stated the neighbor was unwilling to consider, in part because the land to the back of the property is more usable to him Mabusth said the easement area is 32.5 s.f., or a 7" encroachment. • Pat Brickley, adjacent neighbor, said he was not totally in opposition to the exchange of land, and just thought the easement was the easiest way to remedy the situation Johnson stated he was not opposed to the easement, and felt either way the lot line is contrived. Cohen reiterated it is the precedent of the issue they are concerned with. It was moved by Cohen, seconded by Peterson, to recommend denial of the easement request for Application #1813, Leonard Niska, 2304/2308 Shadywood Road, but to recommend approval of a lot line rearrangement between the two properties, assuming both owners agree to such.
