' MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,December 9,2013 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> (9. #13-3637 WILLI ABBOTT ON BEHALF OF THE BROADWAY GROUP,LLC, 2350 <br /> WATERTOWN ROAD,AND�X WILLOW DRIVE NORTH—PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION, <br /> Continued) <br /> Levang noted Lot 5 says 1,768 square feet. <br /> Anderson pointed out that does not include any decks or stoops. <br /> Abbott stated those are merely examples of something that could be built. <br /> Anderson asked what the 15 percent of the wet and dry buildable area would be. <br /> Gaffron stated if the entire lot area is included, 15 percent of Lot 5 would be 3,700 square feet. <br /> Anderson stated that is much bigger than what is being proposed and that she would not be opposed to <br /> going a little higher on the dry contiguous. <br /> Levang asked how that would impact the smallest lot. <br /> Gaffron stated one of the smallest lots is .53 acres for Lot 3 and that Lots 1 and 2 of Block 2 are smaller <br /> than that. Gaffron stated the smallest lot would be Lot 1 on the south side next to Willow, and at .4 acres, <br /> 15 percent would be approximately 2,600 square feet. <br /> Levang asked if he is okay with 2,600 square feet. <br /> Abbott asked if that would apply to all of the lots. <br /> Levang indicated they are just looking at the smallest lot. <br /> Gaffron stated that is with the wet and dry together. Gaffron noted Lot 1 on the north side is .88 but only <br /> .32 of that is buildable. <br /> Anderson noted 18 percent of the dry contiguous on that lot would be approximately 2,500 square feet. <br /> McMillan stated as it relates to Lots 3, 4, and 5, in her view the other dry buildable would not be helpful <br /> to the house and that she is attempting to put some constraints on the size of the homes. <br /> Abbott stated he would be happy to agree to the structural coverage on only the dry contiguous if it is <br /> raised to 18 percent. <br /> McMillan stated on Lot 5 there should be a tree buffer and that she has a concern there will not be room <br /> for landscaping if that property is maxed out. McMillan stated there should be some type of buffer along <br /> W i 1low. <br /> Abbott pointed out Lot 2 of Block 2 has the same issue and that he is working with the neighbor on the <br /> landscaping in that area. <br /> Levang asked if it is his intent to clear cut the lot. <br /> Page 27 of 35 <br />
