MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Tuesday,January 17,2006 <br /> 6:00 dclock p.m. <br /> (#06-3168 LYLE SCOTT,CONTINUED) <br /> Gaffron stated because this property is not being subdivided to create new lots and because no lot <br /> boundaries are proposed to change,there are no proposed new impacts that would trigger a zoning <br /> standards review of the site. The expected result of this easement approval request is that the <br /> nonconforming garage and some driveway hardcover will ultimately be removed from the site,but any <br /> future new expansion of buildings on the existing substandard lots would likely result in a zoning review <br /> process. <br /> Scott stated he would like to attach that lot to Lyric with the assumption that he would like to construct a <br /> garage in the future. <br /> Gaffron stated it does not require a setback to an easement,but that Staff would like some separation <br /> between the driveway and the easement. Gaffron stated in his view there is sufficient room between the <br /> driveway and the garage. <br /> Jurgens inquired whether a setback from the easement could be insured. <br /> Gaffron stated any future structures could be required to be ten feet off the easement, similar to a side lot <br /> line. <br /> Scott stated the garage would be facing Lyric and that you would be building 15 feet from the Lyric line. <br /> Jurgens inquired whether there would be an issue of this properiy having two curb cuts off of Lyric. <br /> Gaffron stated they would be considered separately. <br /> Jurgens stated he would like to see the 10-foot setback as a condition of approval. <br /> Bremer pointed out the Planning Commission has not required that in the past. <br /> Gaffron stated the City would be adopting a resolution on this application and that a separate document, <br /> such as a covenant,could be attached outlining the requirement. <br /> Scott stated after the two lots are combined, there would be a 15-foot piece of land separating the lot line <br /> and the driveway. <br /> Jurgens inquired how wide the easement is. <br /> Scott stated 15 feet. <br /> Jurgens stated a structure could not be constructed within the easement and that the easement could be <br /> made 25 feet wide. <br /> PAGE 24 <br />
