MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, March 25, 2002 <br />• 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />( #02 -2763 Clayt and Julie Tabor, Continued) <br />higher density in certain areas, such as the Crystal Bay area, noting two acre zoning is standard for this <br />area. <br />Flint stated he is cognizant of the discussion that the Council had at the time the decision was made to <br />extend the MUSA area, noting that it was made very clear at that time that this type of lot would not be <br />allowed to be subdivided since there are other issues involved besides septic. <br />Sansevere reiterated he has a concern that this would create a precedent and result in a number of people <br />requesting their lots be split. Sansevere stated he would have a hard time supporting this type of <br />application. <br />Mrs. Tabor commented they would not be changing the character of the neighborhood since there are <br />already a number of lots less than the two acre minimum. <br />White stated he has viewed the site, noting the City Attorney has advised against doing this type of lot <br />division in the past. <br />Sansevere commented this is a tough decision to make in light of the fact that the Tabors are taxpayers <br />and volunteers in the community, but that the Council must do what is in the best interests of the City. <br />• Mayor Peterson and Flint indicated they also would not be able to support this type of request. <br />White encouraged the Tabors to look at their other options prior to making the decision to relocate. <br />The City Council took no formal action on this item. <br />*( #12) #02 -2765 DAVID CARLSON, 740 WILLOW DRIVE SOUTH — VARIANCE RENEWAL, <br />RESOLUTION NO. 4781 <br />Flint moved, White seconded, to approve and adopt RESOLUTION NO. 4781, a Resolution <br />Granting Variances to Lot Area and Lot Width to David Carlson, 740 Willow Drive South. <br />VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS, CONTINUED <br />Kluth stated when the Planning Commission reviewed the Johnson application, the Planning <br />Commission gave deference to the past decision of the City Council since this was labeled as a variance <br />renewal. Kluth suggested in the future if variances are not renewed within three years, that they no <br />longer be called renewals and instead be treated as new applications and fall under current zoning <br />guidelines and restrictions. <br />PAGE 9 <br />
