REGULAR PLANNING C0^^flSSI0N fEETING HELD MAY 16, 1977
The Orono Planning Coinnission met on the above date with the
following meirbers present: Qiaiiman Gregg Hannah, Members
Gloria McDonald, J<^ Guthrie, George Hosfield and Paul
Pesek. Also present was the Asst. Zoning Administrator A1
Olson and Mayor Van Nest.
Guthrie moved, McDonald seconded, that the minutes of the
Planning Commission meeting of May 2, 1977, be approved.
Motion - Ayes (5), Nays (0).
Chairman Hannah announced that this was the time and place
for a Public Hearing on the petition of John Burger for a
subdivision of property located at 3700 Bayside Road. The
Asst. Zoning Administrator presented the Notice of Public
Hearing and the Affidavit of Publication.
Mr. Olson stated that the applicant is requesting a sub
division of 10 acres into two lots, each of which would
exceed the S acre minimum zoning requirement. There is
a sli^t irregularity in the proposed lot lines, and the
one existing home on the property does not meet the set-
ck requirements.a
Mr. ^ Mrs. Burger were present. Mr. Burger explained
that the irregularity of the proposed lot lines was due
to the fact that he had designed the plans for his home
before he divided the lot, and in order to get the 5
acre minimum they made an "L" shape around the wetlands.
Mr. Burger also stated that an easement would be provided
for the wooded area, or back lot. Mr. Burger owns four
lots across the street and presently maintains a dock
for iJie existing home. He woiHd like to use one or nx/re
of his existing lots on and under Stubbs Bay for lake
access and docl^ge for the proposed lot.
Also present was Hazel Anderson, adjoining property
owner, and her daughter. The Planning Commission
explained the proposal to them. They had no objection
to the subdivision, but were concerned about access
easement for Mrs. Anderson across south edge of
Burger’s proposed west lot. Planning Coiranission
assured Mbrs. Anderson that the existing easement would
be maintained to allow access to her lot. Mrs.
Anderson’s daughter had some concern for the variance
required for the lot width at the location of the
existmg dwelling. The Planning Conmission explained
that if this subdivision were approved, a variance
i^^ld be granted for the lot width. A hardship would
tnen need to be demonstrated.

MINlfTES OF A PLANNING OOMISSICN ^ffiE^ING HELD MAY 16, 1977 - PAGE 3
♦
‘Don Sjostran, Tepresenting Mr. Khite viho owns property just
north and east of this proposed subdivision, was present.
JJe was wondering if the applicant was requesting sq;)proval
#^o dredge. The Commission infoimed him that the only
^dredging that they would have a right to request would be
maintma^ dredging in the existing 30* channel assuming
that it is part of the lake and assuming that it was
legally dredged before. Mr. Sjostrom also stated that his
client prefers to keep the dock away from the channel
because he feels that it would be one more step to get
that channel deemed part of the lake.
After all oomnents were received from the floor, the
Planning Coninissian discussed this proposal. They were
not in favor of the entire walkway extending alongside
the diannel vhich they thou^t would lead to docking and
general congestion. However, they suggested that it
wtiild be more acceptable to have no more than 50 feet of
loading dock on the channel if the remainder of the walk<
way was setbadc at least 10 feet from the channel edge,
^iplicant agreed with this suggestion.
Pesdc moved, Guthrie seconded, to reconmend approval of
this joint use dock and walkway going to the channel
subject to the following:
1.Six slips with a provision that they become seven
at such time that Outlot A were to be conbined

with the existing 1-acre lot and that access to
those slips by via a walkway from the siibdivision
to the chumel.
Access to the dock would be by walkwi^r throu^ the
marsh directly to the diannel. Maxinum 50* section
of walkway could be located on the channel to serve
as a loading area only, beyond whidi the walkway
should jog back at least 10 ft. from the edge of
the diannel to avoid congestion.
Loading area is not for permanent moorings
There is no deteimination of die channel
navigability.
Loading area is for the applicant's convenience
only without granting any permanent right of
access (dredging) to the loading area.
Subject to standards of LMGD and MCWD.
Granting a variance to our wetlands ordinance for
construction of the dock.
Subject to joint dock use regulations.
Motion - Ayes (5), Nays (0).

MIMJTES OF A PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD MAY 16, 1977 - PAGE 4
Jerry McCallum and Kurt Henrickson, representing the applicant,

^*^into one building site granting an easement to Lucille Olson

VARIANCE - LOT AREA
(#249)
The Planning Conmission conmended the applicant for their
cooperation and con^liance.
Pesek moved, McDonald seconded, to reconmend approval of
any lot area variance conditioned on the conbination of
Ix)te _6-10 mto one building site and provided the proposed
that thebuilding will meet all setback requirements, and
applicant grant and access easement to Lucille Olson at
4784 North Shore Drive. Motion - Ayes (5), Nays (0).
A1 Olson stated that he had received no further word from
the applicant. The ^airman asked if there was a repre
sentative for Mr*. Gullickson present. A party sto^ and
informed the COnmission that he was speaking as a
friend of Mr. Gullickson*s who had asxed him to tell the
Comnission that additional land could not be purchased.
The Conmission discussed this information and decided
tlwt they had some questions to ask of the applicant
himself. Hannah moved, Guthrie seconded, to table this
matter until Mr. Gullickson was present. Motion -
Ayes (5), Nays (0).
Mr. Rud and his attorney Roy Haglund were present.
Applicant is current owner of four lots (Lots 3 8 4,
Block 1, and Lots 3 8 4, Block 4). These four lots
conbined slightly exceed-one acre for one building site.
Applicantrds requesting to use his .property as two
building sites.' Mr.'purchased-this property with —
the understanding that there ivere two building sites.
Lots are:^ cannon ownership but-4hey:are-assessed
for two houses. Applic^t stated that the Council -
grated a variance three years ago to allow for two
building sites.
After some discussion, Pesek moved, Hosfield seconded,
to reconmend denial of variance to build on either
parcel. The availability of conmonly owned, adjacent
land would mean that granting of the variance request
would be, in effect, granting of a non-conforming,
substandard lot division. Conmission also recoimended
waiving $2,388 of unpaid sewer assessments if all four
lots (2 parcels) are combined as one building site
meeting the zoning requirements, ffotion - Ayes (5),
Nays (0).

^Ir. Johnson was present. He is considering purchasing this lot
as one building site. A lot area and width variance would be
jl£ecessary. Mr. Jc^mson advised Planning Comnission that the
vjtee owner of Parcel 8200, with whom he had a purchase agreement,
was also the fee owner of adjacent, developed Parcel 8000 and
had been owner of both lots in common prior to 1967.
After some discussion, Hosfield moved, Pesek seconded, to

conmon ownership with Parcel 8000, adjustment on Parcel 8200
be made as necessaiy. Motion - Ayes (5), Nays (0).

utilize existing sign previcxisly used by Super Valu. He
