MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,October 16,2017 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Barnhart noted this project has been designed with the intention of following city ordinances in terms of <br /> lot size, lot frontage, and things of that nature. Barnhart stated at the present time no variances appear to <br /> be necessary. <br /> Thiesse stated he sees this as a Lakeview type development where it is quite critical that everything be <br /> met. Thiesse asked what the ramifications are with relocating the road. <br /> Barnhart pointed out there are property owners that are not part of this subdivision who may want to <br /> retain the access as it is now. <br /> Thiesse stated he was thinking on the north end. <br /> Barnhart illustrated the path of the proposed roadway,noting that the existing lots would still maintain <br /> their access. <br /> City Administrator Rief asked if the road would remain public after it is moved. <br /> Barnhart indicated it would. <br /> Landgraver asked what the pros and cons are of leaving the sewer line where it is. <br /> Barnhart stated the cost to relocate the sewer line would be pretty expensive. <br /> Thiesse stated the City would need to have vehicular access to that area. <br /> Rief stated one of the concerns with moving the sewer line is the need for lift stations. <br /> Landgraver asked if there is any additional maintenance cost with leaving the septic line. <br /> Barnhart stated having the road as access makes it easier and that there will probably be some additional <br /> impacts but that the City Engineer has reviewed it briefly and did not raise any concerns with relocating <br /> it. <br /> Leskinen commented having the road go down the middle might be better for the lake since it would help <br /> with salt runoff and hardcover. <br /> Barnhart stated having the road by the lake also provides some benefit to the area in terms of lake views. <br /> Chuck Alcon stated since they submitted their plan, they have met with the fire chief, which led to the <br /> basis of the radius of the cul-de-sac. The road would also improve emergency vehicles access. Alcon <br /> stated they also met with LMCD staff, and since there will be no marina, each property owner will be <br /> responsible to permit their own docks on their lakeshore. <br /> Alcon indicated they also met with the MCWD staff,and they are eager to get the road off the lakeshore. <br /> The proposal is to maintain the sewer line and provide an easement using grass pavers so the maintenance <br /> trucks can get down there. <br /> Page 30 of 32 <br />
