MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Tuesday,February 21,2006 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#06-3169 CHRISTOPHER HAROLD DIESEN CONTINUED) <br /> Curtis stated this site does contain two wetlands and areas of challenging topography. Lot 1 consists of <br /> 6.14 acres with 5.98 acres of dry buildable,and Lot 2 consists of 7.65 acres,with 7.58 acres of dry <br /> buildable. With the exception of the request for the lot width variances,this proposal meets RR-lA <br /> standards. <br /> The applicant is proposing a side-by-side lot division due to the topography of the eastern portion of the <br /> property. Staff finds the proposed lot widths satisfactory and reasonable building envelopes have been <br /> determined and meet all required setbacks within the reduced lot widths. Feasible preliminary and <br /> alternate septic sites have been identified and approved by the City's septic inspector,with the <br /> requirement that a new mound system be installed on proposed Lot 2 where the existing farm is prior to <br /> final plat approval. <br /> Planning Staff recommends approval of the application subject to the conditions outlined on page five of <br /> the report. <br /> Diesen noted he did appear before the Planning Commission approximately one year ago but that he ran <br /> into some legal issues with the property owner,which has delayed this application. Diesen noted he <br /> would be constructing a new mound system on the property but requested that they be allowed to get final <br /> plat approval so they could construct the mound system for the old place and the new place at the same <br /> time. <br /> Rahn inquired whether the applicant has any other issues with the recommendations of the Planning Staff. <br /> Diesen stated he does not and that he does not have a problem with putting something in writing <br /> concerning the mound systems. <br /> Rahn opened the public hearing at 7:47 p.m. <br /> There were no public comments regarding this application. <br /> Rahn closed the public hearing at 7:47 p.m. <br /> Kempf inquired whether the Planning Commission has the ability to allow construction of both mound <br /> systems at the same time. <br /> Gaffron stated the City has allowed other property owners to construct a mound system later with the City <br /> requiring a letter to that effect from the applicant and a letter of credit or other form of escrow to be on <br /> file with the City. <br /> Bremer moved,Kempf seconded,to recommend approval of Application#06-3169, Christopher <br /> Harold Diesen, 1100 Townline Road,subject to the applicant complying with Staff s <br /> recommendations regarding the two mound systems.
