ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR APRIL 13, 1998 t ( #7) #2341 Daniel J. Anderson, 905 Old Crystal Bay Road South - Continued Kelley added that the installation of sewer would allow larger yard areas for amenities that homes of the type to be built in this development may wish to take advantage of, i.e. swimming pools, tennis courts, accessory structures. If primary and alternate septic sites are required, the useable yard space is limited. Homeowners would then be required to seek variances for accessory structures. The developer should be aware of this situation, realizing the benefit of sewer to these lots. George Hust, 820 Old Crystal Bay Road South, asked what logic had been used to determine that a trail easement would not be required. Jabbour responded that there are already easements for a bike path across the street. The City has been challenged about park fees and has become more selective in choosing the land they may need for parks and trails. For this particular subdivision, a park dedication fee will be paid instead of taking land. Bridget Hust, 820 Old Crystal Bay Road South, asked that in the future, when large tracts of land are considered for development, that the trails and parks be planned. Then when people purchase property, they will know where the trails will be before they move in. Flint asked for clarification of the colored map included in the Gaffron memo. Gaffron explained • the "preservation easement" and "protected" areas, noting there was a lesser degree of protection from the field road up to the top of the bluff. He added there were other protections written in the Code such as the bluff impact zone and 75' setback. Flint moved, Goetten seconded, to approve Resolution No. 4061 granting preliminary approval of a Class III subdivision for the property located at 905 Old Crystal Bay Road South. Ayes 5, nays 0. Kelley asked about the pumphouse and well near the lake. Gaffron stated it was to remain as there would be less damage to the property. ( #6) #2308 BROOK PARK REALTY, 3760 SHORELINE DRIVE - CLASS III PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT - CONTINUED Jabbour reopened discussion of this item. Keane stated that if Council continues the application to the next Council agenda for action, the applicant would not pursue legal remedies.
