MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,July 17,2017 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Thiesse questioned whether Outlot A is wide enough for adequate turning radii for the emergency <br /> vehicles. <br /> Landgraver stated there appears to be some sharp angles that would be difficult for large vehicles to <br /> navigate. <br /> Dunkley stated a large vehicle would probably go through their circle and then out but that they are trying <br /> to figure out a way to make it easier. <br /> Vogstrom indicated they are working with the Fire Chief on the emergency access. <br /> William Dunkley stated if police and fire enter Walters Port right now,there currently is no place to turn <br /> around except for in their driveway. The new driveway would provide access to the other homes. <br /> Dunkley noted there are not a lot of options available currently. <br /> Sue Dunkley stated their property would also not be over the hardcover requirements following the lot <br /> line rearrangement but that their house is located within the 0-75 foot zone. Dunkley stated there would <br /> need to be a connection to the little cottage as well. <br /> Thiesse asked if that portion of the connection could be moved out of the 0-75 foot zone. <br /> Sue Dunkley indicated it is as far back as it can go. <br /> Thiesse noted the applicants are not creating any new non-conformities for lot size and are providing <br /> access for emergency vehicles. <br /> Curtis noted average lakeshore setback variances would be required for both lots. <br /> Thiesse stated in his view the emergency vehicle access is more important than having the lot be <br /> completely conforming. <br /> Schoenzeit stated even if the lots were not conforming in width and size,the road would need to be <br /> widened. <br /> William Dunkley stated they are proposing to make it 24 feet wide. <br /> Vogstrom asked what is not conforming with the new lots. <br /> Curtis indicated the width on Lot 2 and possibly the area in addition to the variances that are being <br /> requested. <br /> Vogstrom stated the lot area and width will be conforming with the new lot line rearrangement. The <br /> variances would be required because of the access and the average lakeshore setback. <br /> Curtis stated a hardcover variance is being proposed for the Walters Port lot in addition to a variance for <br /> the average lakeshore setback and the 75-foot addition on the Walters Port property. As it relates to <br /> Lot 2,2710 Pence Lane,variances to lot width and area are required as well as an average lakeshore <br /> setback variance based on the location of the home. <br /> Page 13 of 20 <br />
