MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, September 15, 2014 <br />6:30 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />  <br />Page 46 of 59  <br />  <br /> <br />10. Comments of other City Staff. <br /> <br />Grittman stated that is the envelope of the information that is being requested. Once that information is <br />received and Staff has had time to review it, the application will be brought back before the Planning <br />Commission in October. <br /> <br />Pat Hiller, Source Land Capital, stated a lot of work has occurred since last fall and that a number of <br />meetings have also occurred since then, including several meetings with the neighbors. Initially the <br />development had 59 lots, and based on the net buildable area, 60 lots were allowed. <br /> <br />Hiller stated as they went through the different iterations of the sketch plan, they were balancing the <br />economic considerations with the topography and city requirements. Hiller stated the preliminary plan <br />before the Planning Commission tonight proposes 47 lots on a site that has a gross area of just under 150 <br />aces. Hiller stated when you subtract out the right-of-ways and the wetlands and the buffers, you end up <br />with a net site area of approximately 120 acres. <br /> <br />Hiller noted Outlot C was part of the original sale from the Wengstroms. When Grant sold the property, <br />he wanted to maintain Outlot C. When the plat is formally approved, Outlot C will be given back to <br />Grant. Outlot C is a 2-acre lot and is a legal conforming lot. Hiller stated to his knowledge nothing will <br />happen with Outlot C for the immediate future. <br /> <br />Landgraver asked what is on the north side of that lot. <br /> <br />Hiller indicated it is another residential lot. Hiller stated the 47 lots average 2.5 acres each. The <br />Conservation Easement area is depicted on the map as dark green and consists of approximately 64 acres. <br />Hiller stated as they went through the various iterations and concepts of the plan, the whole idea with <br />Lakeview was to rehabilitate a significant portion of the site and turn it back into something natural <br />looking, with the idea to retain the natural water pathways. <br /> <br />Hiller indicated on the overhead how the water generally flows on the site. Hiller stated they are <br />working with the natural pathways and that it made sense to keep those areas connected. As a result, a <br />Item #01 - PC Agenda - 10/20/2014 <br />Approval of Planning Commission Minutes 09/15/2014 <br />[Page 46 of 59]
