MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> MONDAY, APRIL 19, 2004 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> 9. #04-3003 BRUCE AND KRIS PADDOCK AND GEORGE W. STICKNEY, 3250 FOX <br /> STREET, PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION—Continued) <br /> Kempf replied that lake areas often have shared driveways. <br /> Rahn concurred with Berg that such designs become an Outlot and can actually create more <br /> hardcover. <br /> Kempf confirmed he would expect the existing driveway that goes down the edge of Lot 3 would <br /> remain. There are two driveways running next to each other on Lots 1 and 2 and these he suggested <br /> could be revised. <br /> Bremer advised that the new property owners could provide easements to each other to accomplish it. <br /> Berg stressed that an Outlot would have to be created with an association for maintenance. <br /> Gaffron indicated there were other examples in Orono where two property owners provide easements <br /> to each other for driveways without the need for an Outlot but the threshold for Outlots and <br /> associations is at three lots. <br /> Leslie asked Stickney if he had any objection to the City restricting Lot 3 to using the existing <br /> driveway. <br /> Stickney stated they had no objection to that requirement. <br /> Kempf asked Gaffron if staff objected to combining driveways in this setting. <br /> Gaffron responded that in cases in the past when there were good topographic reasons, shared <br /> segments of driveways have been approved. He stated he thought it would be up to the developer as <br /> there is nothing compelling from the Code standpoint to require a shared driveway. <br /> Kempf clarified if the applicant proposes a shared driveway, it could be approved. <br /> Gaffron repeated that Code allows for two lots to share a driveway. <br /> Bremer moved, Chair Mabusth seconded, to approve Application #04-3003, Bruce and Kris <br /> Paddock and George W. Stickney, at 3250 Fox Street, recommending Preliminary Plat <br /> approval to create three (3) lots on one block at 3250 Fox Street to be known as Maxwell Bay <br /> Estates with the following stipulations: <br /> 1. Only two new driveways are proposed on the private section of Fox Street and proposed <br /> lot 3 must use the existing driveway that exists outside the Fox Street gates. <br /> 2. Proposed lots 1 and 2 should utilize the septic sites on the street side of the proposed <br /> house pads rather than the lakeside sites. <br /> 3. The average lakeshore setback line shown on the preliminary plat shall be the line used <br /> to determine the average lakeshore setback for all 3 lots, not an average setback that is <br /> determined by when which lots construct houses. <br /> Page 43 of 49 <br />
