MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,October 16,2017 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Thiesse stated the Planning Commission does understand the application and that variances are allowed <br /> when there is a practical difficulty. Thiesse indicated he is having a problem with the creation of a second <br /> back lot. Thiesse stated the first variance is a lot width variance for 2710 Pence. <br /> Curtis stated the applicants have indicated they could resolve the lot width variance. <br /> Schoenzeit noted when a new lot is being created,it should be conforming. <br /> Thiesse noted the second variance being requested is the creation of a second back lot and a third variance <br /> from the requirements of a back lot. <br /> Curtis indicated that is correct. Curtis stated it is a 1-acre lot. <br /> Thiesse stated the fourth variance is from the 150 percent of the setback standards and that Item No. 5 is <br /> where the outlot would come in. <br /> Curtis stated in her view a lot of the variances build on each other and hinge on the access outlot or the <br /> private road. Curtis stated if they create a private road,it would become frontage and it would not be a <br /> back lot situation.. <br /> Thiesse asked if that is what was presented originally in the sketch plan. <br /> Curtis stated she does not believe they presented a 50-foot wide corridor but they did present an outlot. <br /> Leskinen stated she has a concern about the easement,and the way she reads it is that it requires all <br /> parties to agree on any change or maintenance or repair of the driveway that are a part of the easement. <br /> Leskinen stated if the parties are not in agreement,it may be a nonissue. <br /> Thiesse stated if an outlot is created,the question is whether everybody will have access to it. Thiesse <br /> stated the easement will not work anymore because they will not be able to connect to the outlot. <br /> Vogstrom stated he is not sure since that issue just came up on Friday and they will need to address that. <br /> Sue Dunkley noted the easement covers the area before the gate and consists of around 100-plus feet, <br /> which is before the gate. Dunkley stated anything inside the gate is their land and that the Huelers will <br /> need to travel 635 feet on their land. Dunkley noted Pence was a city road at some time. <br /> Thiesse stated the easement is a legal document that the Planning Commission will not be discussing. <br /> Sue Dunkley stated it is the 135 feet from the gate to Kelly and that it has nothing to do with the huge, <br /> long driveway coming in. <br /> Thiesse recommended someone submit something to the City stating that. Thiesse asked if the outlot <br /> needs to be near Pence. <br /> Curtis stated it does not and that the applicants could propose to move the driveway. <br /> Thiesse stated anything going to the outlot would need to be accessed by the Huelers. <br /> Page 12 of 32 <br />
