MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,April 17,2017 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Thiesse noted Item 6 relates to new sewer connections for Lots 1 and 2. Thiesse asked if the developer <br /> has a plan for how sewer will be provided. <br /> Anderson indicated not at this point. <br /> Thiesse stated that is a piece of information that will need to be provided and addressed. <br /> Thiesse asked if the Planning Commission has any thoughts on the issues expressed by Mr. Wahlender. <br /> Thiesse stated this area is not a lot different from other areas on North Arm and that there are some areas <br /> that are inaccessible. <br /> Wahlender stated based on his experience,the dock would need to be extended way back and that they <br /> would have to go out into the main part of the channel and then come back in. As you go southeast along <br /> the shoreline,it is very shallow. <br /> Thiesse noted that is outside of the Planning Commission's jurisdiction and that the LMCD will need to <br /> look at it. <br /> Gaffron stated the applicant will need to speak with the LMCD and that the City would not be involved in <br /> that. <br /> Thiesse asked if the developer is requesting any variances for the house on Lot 1. <br /> Gaffron noted there is a 30-foot setback from top of bluff and that the proposed house meets the side <br /> setbacks as well as street. Gaffron stated the depicted rectangle meets code standards,but the question is <br /> whether someone would be doing a disserve to the neighborhood if they construct right up to the 10-foot <br /> setback. <br /> Thiesse stated his biggest concern is that light and air come into play when asking for a variance. Thiesse <br /> asked if those two things come into play when a variance is not being requested. <br /> Page 11 of 72 <br />
