MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING CONIlVIISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,March 19,2007 � <br /> ' . 6:00 o'clock p.m. � <br /> (#07-3271 Judson Dayton,Continued) <br /> defined by a line between the house on Lot 2 and the house at 3051 Farview Lane,which sits back more <br /> than 400 feet from the lake. This would place the allowable building site on proposed Lot 1 about 290 <br /> feet from the shore. <br /> The wetlands on the site will be subject to the appropriate buffer requirements and conservation <br /> easements. Portions of the site are heavily wooded and portions are quite open.The existing barn and <br /> pasture areas visible from Old Crystal Bay Road add to Orono's rural character,as do the wooded <br /> backdrops behind them. It would be appropriate that development of this site be subject to the <br /> principals of Conservation Design,identifying the important aesthetic and ecological elements of the <br /> . site and establishing a program for their preservation. <br /> Proposed Lot 2 contains a residence, a caretaker house,and a large horse barn with a caretaker <br /> apartment. The caretaker house was granted a conditional�use pernut for guest house use and additions <br /> in 1986. In 1992,the then 4,432 square foot horse barn was granted a variance to expand to 5,168 <br /> square feet,where the Oversize Accessory Structures ordinance would have allowed only a 3,000 square - <br /> foot building. Also in 1992, a cond'itional use permit was granted for renovation and use of the <br /> caretaker apartment in the barn. <br /> Gaffron stated there are a number of issues outlined in the report for consideration by the Planning <br /> Commission. <br /> • Mr.Winston stated they are dealing with a property that has three tax parcels and they are proposing to <br /> add one new parcel,which should not negatively impact the neighborhood or the community. Winston <br /> stated tonight they are proposing to proceed forward with a plat. <br /> Winston stated the concerns expressed by Planner Gaffron have been raised previously and that they are <br /> not proposing anything different as part of this sketch plan. Winston stated they have attempted to <br /> accommodate the existing topography and the lay of the land,which accounts for the layout of the lots. <br /> Winston stated the plan,is that Mr.Dayton would be able to remain on the central portion of the � <br /> � property and things on the site would remain pretty much as is. <br /> . Winston stated the logical place for the sidewalk would be to go east and that a sidewalk trail on the � <br /> west side of the road does not make much sense. <br /> , <br /> Winston stated they welcome the direction of the Planning Commission on the setbacks. Winston stated <br /> it may make the most sense to go with the 175 foot average lakeshore setback. <br /> Mr.Dayton stated at this point there is nothing planned for the wetland area and that he would like to <br /> keep that as is as long as possible. <br /> Gronberg inquired whether a 50-foot right-of-way would be required. Gronberg stated Outlot B would • <br /> be able to accommodate 50 feet but that the problem is the barn. Gronberg suggested that a portion of <br /> the right-of-way be 30 feet. <br /> PAGE 34 <br />
