MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Tuesday,February 19,2013 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> 1. Proposed Lot 1 will have 0.71 acres total area. There is an unknown area of wetland on this <br /> property. This lot will be a corner lot. The front lot line will be the private road frontage. There <br /> is 77 feet of frontage proposed along the newly created road. This lot is shown to have 350 feet <br /> of frontage along Willow drive. There appears to be an approximate 100'x 50' buildable <br /> envelope available and a 2080 square foot home is shown. A vegetated berm is proposed within <br /> the 25- foot setback to screen this lot from Willow Drive. <br /> 2. Lot 2 is proposed to have 38 feet in width at the cul-de-sac and approximately 50 feet at the <br /> principal building setback. The suggested home site is set back about 80 feet from the <br /> cul-de-sac. It is 90 feet wide at the suggested building site and is proposed to be 0.65 acres. <br /> There is an unknown area of wetland on this property. <br /> Not shown on the concept plan within proposed Lots 1 and 2 is an easement for the existing <br /> sewer line that extends across those lots from Willow Drive to proposed Lot 3. The conceptual <br /> stormwater pond location appears to potentially interfere with this sewer line. Whether a formal� <br /> easement for that line exists must be established. <br /> 3. Lot 3 is proposed as a flat lot which has 25 feet in width at the cul-de-sac and 135 feet in total <br /> width within the building envelope. This lot is also proposed to have two separate easements: <br /> a 20-foot wide existing utility easement containing the Hackberry neighborhood sewer line <br /> connection to the Long Lake sewer system,running from west to east and down the west lot line, <br /> and a 20-foot wide drainage easement following the creek. The drainage easement cuts the <br /> building envelope in half. <br /> Curtis noted flat lots are not permitted. The City allows front lodback lot layouts with special provisions <br /> outlined in City Code. <br /> 4. Lot 4 is proposed to be 1.08 acre in area and 48.77 feet of frontage. It has an existing home and <br /> is proposed to access off of the cul-de-sac. The utility and drainage easements from proposed <br /> Lot 3 continue on to this lot. � <br /> 5. Lot 5 is proposed to contain 0.55 acres in area and 51.9 feet of frontage on the cul-de-sac. <br /> a 2,128 square foot home is shown situated in the proposed building envelope. <br /> 6. Lot 6 is a corner lot with 83 feet of frontage on the proposed road/cul-de-sac and 235 feet on <br /> Willow Drive. A vegetated berm is proposed within the 25-foot setback to screen this lot from <br /> Willow Drive. <br /> The applicant is proposing a 50-foot wide outlot to create a private road with a 100-foot cul-de-sac which <br /> conforms to the requirements within the subdivision ordnance for a local private road. The proposed <br /> paved width of the private road is shown as 25 feet where the Code requires 24 feet for three to six <br /> homes. The cul-de-sac is proposed to have a 70-foot paved diameter,where City Code requires an 80- <br /> foot paved diameter. <br /> Given the fact that six homes will be served from the proposed roadway and given the shortness of the <br /> proposed roadway,parking for guests will be at a premium. Parking on Willow Drive should be avoided. <br /> This will not only better facilitate parking but will allow additional options for snow storage. <br /> Page 15 of 23 <br />
