� MINUTES OF THE • <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> Tuesday,January 16,2007 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#07-3258 George Stickney, Continued) • <br /> 3. Vacation of the public roadway is potentially app'ropriate when the public no longer has current <br /> or future needs for the roadway. While the only obvious need for the roadway is to serve the <br /> ' owners of three properties as an access and'utility corridor, does it or could it serve otlier public <br /> purposes that suggest vacation should not occur? . <br /> Gaffron noted city sewer exists in a portion of the right-of-way to be vacated. This would become the <br /> lakeshore yard of a new residence at 1450. The City Engineer indicates the two options are to, one,move <br /> . the sewer lines to be under the new roadldriveway in Outlot B or;two,create easements over the sewer as <br /> it exists and risk that City vehicles will have to traverse lawn areas to maintain the system. Additionally, <br /> the sewer connection for 1480 crosses over 1450. This should be relocated to be within Outlot B. <br /> Gaffron recommended the Planning Commission discuss the following items: <br /> 1. The appropriateness of the vacation of road,given the public versus private interests. <br /> 2. Whether the proposed access is sufficient and whether the proposed turnaround is located and <br /> designed in an appropriate manner. <br /> 3. Is the owner of 1480 okay with the proposal. f <br /> Gaffron requested the Planning Commission provide the developer with as much input as possible with <br /> regards to the proposal. No formal action by the Planning Commission is required. <br /> Rahn inquired whether the sign is located at the end of the public right-of-way. <br /> Kroeger stated the sign is located at the hammerhead. <br /> Gaffron stated the road continues for approximately another 500 to 600 feet. <br /> Sticlrney addressed the Planning Commission regarding his proposal. Sticlrney stated the road was' <br /> platted in the 1970's and only served one residence at that time. Over the years two other residences were � <br /> added and that they are considering the creation of a cul-de-sac in place of the existing road,which would <br /> help clean up the issues relating to access. <br /> Sticlrney stated they are willing to remove a considerable amount of hardcover within the 0-75 foot zone <br /> 'but they would like to preserve the tennis court. Sticlrney stated Mr. Paddock would like to construct a <br /> new house on the point lot. Stickney indicated the pool and pool houses would be removed within the <br /> 0-75 foot zone as well as 7200 feet of roadway. A total of approximately 13,000 square feet.of hardcover <br /> is proposed to be removed in the 0-75 foot zone. ' <br /> Rahn stated he is more interested in the public good than the private good that would be accomplished <br /> with this proposal. � <br /> PAGE 24 <br />
