MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,May 15,2006 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#06-3196 PAT McNAUGHTON/ED HAMM,CONTINUED) <br /> Gaffron recommended the Planning Commission consider the following issues: <br /> 1. Is there any basis for granting a side or side street setback variance for development of the <br /> lakeshore lot(1401 Shoreline)once the combination occurs? <br /> 2. Given the background on 1401 Shoreline,the City concluded in 1980 that the lot was likely <br /> buildable and assessed it for sewer,noting that variances would be necessary. Does the <br /> Planning Commission agree with Staff that adding Outlot A enhances the buildability and <br /> supports the granting of the lot area variance? <br /> 3. Does the Planning Comxnission have any problem with reducing the area of 1391 Fox Street to <br /> 1.82 acres,given that the buildable area north of CR 15 is not changing,that the neighborhood <br /> density will not change, and that the land south of CR 15 that made it a fu112-acre lot was <br /> remote from the actual building site? <br /> 4. Does the Planning Commission have any concerns about the average setback line proposed by <br /> Staff? <br /> 5. Does the Planning Commission have any other concerns about the buildability of either of the <br /> lots in the post-rearrangement condition? <br /> Staff recommends approval of the lot line rearrangement and area variances as discussed,with the <br /> stipulation that the appropriate deeds be exchanged and parcels recombined per the legal descriptions on <br /> the survey. Staff recommends approval of the revised average setback line for 1401 Shoreline that <br /> protects the existing lake views enjoyed by the adjacent property owners. Staff fmds no compelling <br /> reason for a side setback variance for 1401,but would note that a much more detailed submittal would <br /> be required for the City to consider such a variance,which may be left up to a future buyer of the <br /> property. Staff fmds that there is insufficient information to approve a berm or screening plan at this <br /> time. <br /> The following conditions should be included if the application is recommended for approval: <br /> 1. The combination of 1401 and Outlot A must be a plat. It should be left to the City Council to <br /> determine whether the required platting triggers a storm water and drainage trunk fee. <br /> 2. The City will take the appropriate steps to extinguish the existing special lot combination <br /> agreements. <br /> McNaughton stated there are some options for constructing a house on this lot but that the topography <br /> of the lot needs to be taken into consideration. <br /> Rahn inquired whether this lot less this strip of land would be a buildable lot. <br /> PAGE 15 <br />
