MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, September 12, 2016 7:00 o'clock p.m. M. #15-3763/16-3860 CHRISTOPHER BOLLIS, 200-250 STUBBS BAY ROAD NORTH — FINAL PLAT REVIEW (continued) Bollis stated if the trucks can access through Stubbs Bay, they will do that. Bollis stated the goal is to eliminate use of Kintyre Lane for construction as much as possible. Bollis stated as it relates to the third issue, future use of driveway, he has a proposal for that use. Gaffron displayed an aerial view of the driveway. Bollis indicated he is proposing that that driveway be used for temporary access until primary connections are made to Kintyre Lane for Lots 5 and 6. There is an existing house on Lot 5, and if the plat is recorded as is, they will lose access over the outlot. Bollis stated he is also asking for temporary access for the purpose of constructing a house on Lot 6, which will give the builder the entire winter to construct the house in the event the road is not completed this fall. Bollis noted they exceed the fire requirements for the current driveway and use of the driveway over the outlet will just be temporary. Bollis stated he would propose that the permanent access be established within 60 days following the final lift of asphalt on Kintyre Lane. Bollis stated in this situation he feels it would be appropriate the driveway remain as a secondary access point. There is an accessory building on Lot 5, which has its entrance off the current driveway. Bollis stated if the house on Lot 5 is demolished, it would be difficult to navigate a driveway back to the accessory building would be virtually impossible given the topography. Lot 6 would also have that temporary secondary access. Bollis stated he does not see how that triggers a corner lot. Walsh commented it appears the driveway access is on Lot 5 but not Lot 6 and that they would need to go through Lot 5 into Lot 6. Bollis indicated it actually splits the lot line. Bollis noted there would be an appropriate easement for vehicles to cross Lot 5 into Lot 6. Levang asked if he is suggesting that that will be permanent. Bollis indicated he would like the secondary access to be permanent if those lot owners wanted that in the future. Bollis stated he does not want to take that option away and that the infrastructure is already there. The accessory building would be accessed off of that on Lot 5. Levang asked what the accessory building is. Bollis indicated it is a small barn. McMillan stated her concern is the neighbor to the west having more activity on the road than what was originally anticipated. '_McMillan stated in her view it is okay short-term but not long-term. Bollis noted it would be a secondary access and that the actual use in the future versus today would go down considerably once the new road is in. Levang asked how long the road has existed.
