MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,April 17,2017 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Landgraver commented it is possible to envision friction between the homeowners and the maintenance <br /> workers given that situation. Landgraver noted the existing sewer gravity line goes from Lot 3 downhill <br /> and that it looks like there is a rain garden on top of that. <br /> Gaffron stated the expectation would be that that sewer line would need to be moved. <br /> Thiesse asked if the 40' x 80' house footprint standard. <br /> Gaffron noted they are shown as a possible house and that the homes that are being built today have a <br /> number of angles. Gaffron stated it is unlikely someone will construct a house that is rectangular in <br /> shape. <br /> Kevin Anderson,Applicant, stated in regards to relocating the house on Lot 2, it gets pretty tight given all <br /> the different angles and that they have reworked the lot lines significantly to try to provide as much <br /> flexibility as possible. <br /> Chair Thiesse opened the public hearing at 6:51 p.m. <br /> Ray Wahlender, 1070 Tonkawa Road, stated he is one of the owners of 800 North Arm. Wahlender <br /> stated while he is generally positive about the prospect for improvements on this property,in his view <br /> splitting this parcel into three lots is quite a stretch and that there are a lot of contortions being done to try <br /> to achieve three lakeshore lots. <br /> Wahlender stated the developer will have some real problems with lake access for Lot 1 and that he <br /> knows from personal experience that it is too shallow to catch pan fish in that area. Wahlender indicated <br /> it is a wetland area that seeps into a marshy wetland area and that you cannot get a pontoon in there. If <br /> you look at the contours with 790 North Arm,any dock that is installed will likely violate the provisions <br /> of LMCD Section 201, Subdivision 2B,which requires that any slip which opens towards a sight line be <br /> 20 feet back from that sight line. Wahlender stated in his view it will be problematic to try to get a dock <br /> in there parallel to the sight line,and in order to get it out to any sort of depth,it would probably violate <br /> the sight line for Lot 2. Wahlender stated calling it a lakeshore lot is problematic for them and that it <br /> appears to be jammed in there. <br /> Page 7 of 72 <br />
