MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />9 HELD AUGUST 16, 1993 <br />ZONING FILE #1829 - CONT. <br />Gerald Sieff said that would give an additional 15 s.f. He added that plans had been looked at <br />many times and are reduced as much as possible. He reiterated the problem they have with <br />counting structural hardcover and lack of categorization between blacktop or fabric underliner, <br />gravel driveways or stone walkways. <br />Schroeder noted that was a fair point. <br />Mabusth suggested an ordinance amendment may be needed or an official policy defining <br />structural and nonstructural improvements where excesses of hardcover exist on a property. <br />It was moved by Peterson, seconded by Chair Schroeder, to recommend approval of Application <br />#1829 for Diane E. Sieff, 1080 Wildhurst Trail, for the hardcover variances proposed with the <br />understanding there will be a removals in the 0 -75' of the shed and in the 75 -250' of the <br />concrete pads and plastic. Ayes 2, nays 2. Motion was voted against by Smith and Nolan. <br />Chair Schroeder stated the motion does not carry it and goes to Council as a draw on September <br />13th. <br />( #6) #1851 ORONO WOODLANDS, INC /PAUL PHILLIPS, <br />2100/2140 SIXTH AVENUE NORTH - SUBDIVISION OF A LOT LINE <br />REARRANGEMENT - PUBLIC HEARING 8:52 TO 9:05 <br />The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. <br />Paul Phillips was present. <br />Mabusth explained that Orono Woodlands, Inc. has a failed septic system because it was <br />undersized and trenches were too deep. The alternate site was destroyed during construction. <br />Applicant seeks areas outside of the current boundaries of the property to the southwest which <br />meets the 20' required setback. At this point, there is no alternate site on the property. An <br />equal exchange of land is proposed with this subdivision. The shed located on the new lot line <br />must be relocated. There are no records of permits being issued. Drainage and utility <br />easements must be vacated and new easements dedicated. Because of the complexity of the <br />metes and bounds description, the City is recommending that we proceed with a plat. As there <br />is an emergency need for installation of the septic system, staff recommends that after vacation <br />easements are filed, applicant be allowed to proceed with construction of the septic. <br />0 10 <br />
