1 <br /> MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Tuesday,February 16,2010 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#10-3448 CITY OF ORONO ON BEHALF OF LANI S.PENNINGTON,ET AL,CONTINUED) <br /> 5. 240/250 Big Island(Record Lot 63 and Record Lot 67),Fred A.Bruntjen <br /> The required notification of Big Island property owners was done in 1983. However,the lead staff person <br /> left the City's employ that fall. In 1986 a second notification was done. About a year ago Staff began to <br /> update the records of Big Island properties. <br /> Unprocessed applications for the"automatic lot area variance"were found in the files of 130, 750, 350, <br /> and 460 Big Island. With the applications for 130 and 750 there was also an application for a conditional <br /> use pernut to allow the cabin to be used more than 180 days a year. That is no longer the situation. There <br /> appear to have been some issues with the septic system for 350. It was replaced in 2009. 460 and 470 <br /> Big Island were involved in a lot line rearrangement that was not approved until 1992. <br /> 130, 750,and 350 have always been one tax parcel each so no combinations are required. 470 was <br /> originally four tax parcels. At the time of the lot line rearrangement,three of the four were combined. <br /> The fourth is in a different school district and cannot be combined with the others. A special lot <br /> combination will be required. 460 Big Island was included in the public hearing notice but subsequently <br /> the owner asked that the property not be considered for a lot area variance at this time. <br /> 240/250 Big Island qualifies for a lot area variance under 78-568(8). There are only two sets of lots that <br /> would qualify under this provision. The other set is not in common ownership. Combined,these two <br /> record lots total 0.56 acre. The property is still three tax parcels so a tax parcel combination is required. <br /> Planning Staff recommends approval of the lot area variances: <br /> 1. With no conditions: <br /> a. #10-3448, 130 Big Island(Record Lot 10) <br /> b. #10-3449, 750 Big Island(Record Lot 62) <br /> c. #10-3450, 350 Big Island(Record Lot 61) , <br /> 2. Conditioned on the owner signing a special lot combination <br /> a. #10-3451,470 Big Island(Record Lot 22) <br /> 3. Conditioned on filing of a tax parcel combination <br /> a. #10-3452,240/250 Big Island(Record Lot 63 and Record Lot 67) <br /> Acting Chair Schoenzeit opened the public hearing at 8:27 p.m. <br /> Ted Hanna stated he is here on behalf of his mother,who owns a small lot at 490 Big Island. <br /> Acting Chair Schoenzeit closed the public hearing at 8:29 p.m. <br /> Page <br /> 18 <br />
