MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON DECEMBER 8,1997 ( #9 - #2308 Brook Park Realty - Continued) Kelley asked if this was a PRD. Barrett said the increase is pursuant to the zoning district and not a PRD. Kelley asked if there was no parking on the street. Gleason said no parking would be allowed on the 22' wide street. Kelley asked what occurs when there is a party. Gleason said residents can ask their neighbors for permission to park in their driveways. Flint said he was not prepared to vote on the preliminary plat at this time as he would like an answer on traffic flow. He is less concerned with the issue of the cul -de -sac. Flint thought the use of a hammerhead made sense. Flint would like to see the impact of the density and is bothered by the use of the word "may ". Van Zomeren said it is listed under additional permitted uses. Barrett suggested the Council under Subdivision III ask the applicant to be required to meet these provisions, A through F in the resolution but others as well that give Council discretion. Under E, for building size and location, and F, vehicle egress and ingress, Council approval could be required. This may need further discussion. Jabbour said he was not concerned with the cul -de -sac itself but with randomly ignoring the need for demonstrating hardship. He noted the Planning Commission unanimously • rejected the need for the cul -de -sac and should not continue to make decisions in this manner. He said if the Council wants to make changes on egress and ingress it should do so or the application should be moved forward. The application would be discussed at the January 12 Council Meeting and January 19 Planning Commission Meeting. Jabbour said once the preliminary plat is passed, the City is committing to the project but some members of the Council are not comfortable with the plan as currently proposed. Gleason said he can ascertain the traffic impacts. He noted the subdivision is not designed for families but for singles and couples. He is unsure what can be done as far as CoRd 15 is concerned. Flint said he would like the applicant to present the information and have staff review it. He feels staff needs to be more proactive and look at development of the property to the west. Kelley said he would not like to see only one way out of the subdivision. Jabbour asked that guidelines be given to the applicant. 9 14
