MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,July 16,2012 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Leskinen stated that would also be her comment. Leskinen asked if the lot width at the cul-de-sac is <br /> sufficient. <br /> Curtis stated Staff looks at the cul-de-sac width and then the width of the building envelope. Neither of <br /> the lots are 200 feet in width,which is fairly common in the City and variances generally are not needed. <br /> The plat will acknowledge that the width is not 200 feet and that will be sufficient. Staff looks at the <br /> configuration of the building envelope to confirm that a home can be built in that area and have access. <br /> Landgraver noted the Conservation Design asks the applicant to identify the ecological assets of the site <br /> and that Staff has asked the Planning Commission to call out some things that they feel are important. <br /> Landgraver recommended the property owner submit a detailed grading plan and verify the topography. , <br /> Leskinen asked whether a trail would be necessary on the north°side of County Road 6 since there is <br /> already a trail on the south side. . <br /> Curtis indicated Staff is looking for guidance on that. <br /> Schoenzeit recommended a trail easement be granted. <br /> Landgraver concurred that it would be better to ask for it given the topography of the area and the present <br /> layout of the trail. Landgraver asked whether Staff has any other concerns with the property. <br /> Curtis stated there are no major contentious issues but that there are pieces of the property that need to be <br /> looked at closer. <br /> Schoenzeit stated it would be best not to have orphan pieces of land if at all possible. . <br /> Curtis stated she will provide Mr.Lein with a formal letter detailing the discussion tonight. . <br /> The Planning Commission took no formal action on this application. <br /> PLANNING CONIMISSION COMMENTS <br /> 7.
