MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, October 20, 2014 <br />6:30 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />  <br />Page 17 of 28  <br />  <br />The RR-1B zoning district requires a minimum of 2.0 acres and 200 feet of frontage width per lot. Both <br />properties currently exceed this minimum standard. Following the lot line rearrangement, both properties <br />will continue to be conforming with regard to width and area. There are no improvements or public <br />easements within the portion of the property to be exchanged. <br /> <br />New deeds must be created for both properties reflecting the new legal description. Because this is a lot <br />line rearrangement which results in no additional buildable lots, park fees and stormwater trunk fees will <br />not be required. <br /> <br />Staff recommends approval of the application subject to the portion of the property being exchanged <br />being legally combined with the Sarenpa property and not remain as a stand-alone lot as well as the <br />recording of new deeds with the revised legal descriptions. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission should hold the public hearing regarding the lot line rearrangement and make a <br />recommendation to the City Council. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission had no questions for Staff. <br /> <br />Chair Leskinen opened the public hearing at 8:29 p.m. <br /> <br />There were no public comments. <br /> <br />Chair Leskinen closed the public hearing at 8:29 p.m. <br /> <br />Leskinen stated the application is very straight forward and that she does not see any reason for it not to <br />go forward. <br /> <br />McGrann moved, Schwingler seconded, to recommend approval of Application No. 14-3692, <br />Anthony Sarenpa, 2620 Fox Street and 2630 Fox Street, granting of a lot line rearrangement. <br />VOTE: Ayes 7, Nays 0. <br /> <br />5. #14-3693 STREETER AND ASSOCIATES ON BEHALF OF ROERT BROOK AND <br />SHARON QUINN, 1165 FERNDALE ROAD WEST, VARIANCE AND CONDITIONAL USE <br />PERMIT, 8:30 P.M. – 9:00 P.M. <br /> <br />Todd Irvine, Keenan & Sveiven was present. <br /> <br />Mack stated the applicant is requesting approval of a conditional use permit for grading and filling in the <br />100-year floodplain as well as variances for lot size lot width, hardcover, structural coverage, and side <br />street setback, and hardcover improvements in the 0-75 foot lake setback area. This plan is different from <br />the original plan that was granted approval by the City back in 2009, which was a complete tear down and <br />reconstruct. <br /> <br />With the sale of the property, the new owners have engaged Streeter and Associates to remodel the <br />structure and construct a 12-foot addition onto the east side of an existing one-story single-family <br />residence, add a new patio and walkways, and modify the driveway area. The proposal involves a <br />conditional use permit for grading and fills in the 100-year floodplain for the driveway modification with <br />Item #01 - PC Agenda - 11/17/2014 <br />Approval of Planning Commission Minutes 10/20/2014 <br />[Page 17 of 28]
