MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,September 17,2007 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#07-3312 Gary DeSantis,Continued) <br /> Gaffron stated setback variances would not be necessary but a variance to the lot width requirement <br /> would be necessary. Gaffron noted Lot 1 is approximately 50 to 60 feet wide and would require 200 feet <br /> in lot width,and Lot 2 is 120 or 130 feet in width and would also require 200 feet in lot width. <br /> Rice questioned why the City would approve something so substandard if they have lot width <br /> requirements. <br /> Zullo stated the ordinance probably relates more to new developments. <br /> Curtis noted this is a two-acre zone. <br /> Berg stated the applicants is unable to split these lots without variances and that the Planning Commission <br /> is basically giving some direction to the applicant on whether they feel what they are proposing would be <br /> � acceptable. <br /> Gaffron stated as long as you have two acres and the house meets the setback requirements,the lot width <br /> would not be as critical in that type of situation as in other situations. <br /> Gronberg stated a driveway could also be run on the northerly lot on the north side and a house <br /> constructed further to the east. <br /> Berg commented she is not opposed to the strangely configured lots. <br /> Zullo stated she would like the driveway and cul-de-sac blacktopped,with a survey being conducted to <br /> verify the buildable area. <br /> The Planning Commission took no formal action on this application. <br /> PLAN1vING COMMISSION COMMENTS <br /> 9.
