MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, April 9, 2007 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />___________________________________________________________________________________ <br />(13. #07-3270 MILO H. THOMPSON, 3135 CASCO CIRCLE, Continued) <br /> <br />Curtis pointed out that there is a fair amount of vegetation on this property and that basically only the <br />entrance of the house is visible from the roadway. <br /> <br />Sweitzer indicated they are also proposing a fair amount of landscaping along the property lines to help <br />further screen the house. <br /> <br />Bremer stated she likes the variation in the roof elevation. <br /> <br />Curtis noted the house does meet the City’s 30 foot height restriction. <br /> <br />McMillan pointed out that technically the whole length of the house could be constructed as the height <br />of the peak and that the decrease in the height helps to reduce the massing on the lot. <br /> <br />Sweitzer stated the property owner has spoken with the two adjoining property owners and that they are <br />not opposed to the project. <br /> <br />White stated in his view the tower is reasonable since it helps to reduce the massing. <br /> <br />Rahn moved, McMillan seconded, to direct Staff to draft a resolution approving the variances and <br />conditional use permit as outlined in Staff’s report dated April 3, 2007, for the property located at <br />3135 Casco Circle. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br /> <br />14. #07-3271 JUDSON M. DAYTON, 825 OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD SOUTH – SKETCH <br />PLAN: NEW LOTS <br /> <br />Judson Dayton, Applicant; John Winston, Attorney-at-Law appearing on behalf of Judson Dayton; Paul <br />Zislow, Attorney-at-Law appearing on behalf of Lisa Dayton, were present. <br /> <br />Gaffron noted this is a sketch plan review and that the applicant is proposing to combine the three <br />existing tax parcels and subdivide the property to create three new two plus acre building lots and one <br />large parcel for the existing residence, caretaker house and horse barn. The four lots are proposed to be <br />served by two private driveway outlots over the two existing driveway accesses onto Old Crystal Bay <br />Road. The easterly of the two existing smaller parcels contains a cabin. The westerly of the smaller <br />parcels contains a variety of small outbuildings near the lakeshore. <br /> <br />Each of the four lots abuts the lakeshore of Maxwell Bay and each exceeds two dry buildable acres in <br />area and 200 feet in width measured at the shoreline and at the 75-foot lakeshore setback line. Lots 1, 3, <br />and 4 have functional lot widths of 170 to 190 feet, leaving a potential buildable width of 110 to 130 <br />feet once the 30-foot side setbacks are accounted for. <br /> <br />Lot 2 abuts a public or private road. Lot 1 is proposed to access Old Crystal Bay Road via proposed <br />Outlot B, a variable-width corridor in which exists a driveway that would also serve Lot 2. Lots 3 and 4 <br />are proposed to gain access to Old Crystal Bay Road via Outlot A, a proposed 30 foot corridor in which <br />exists a second driveway. <br /> <br />Based on the definition of “back lot” and the standards of Section 82-256, Lots 1, 3, and 4 would be <br />considered as back lots until or unless they abut an acceptable private or public road.
