o <br />VILLAGE OF ORONO <br />Regular iieeting of <br />July 16, 1973 <br />the Planning Commission, <br />The Planning Commission met on the above <br />date with the following members present: <br />Acting Chairman Van Nest, Guthrie, Hays, <br />Kullberg, Ryerse, and Searles. Absent: <br />Chairman Poisson, Elliott, Gasch, Kokesh, <br />and Paurus. <br />Mr, Gardner requested a variance from the 50* <br />front yard setback for the construction of <br />a garage. Because access to the Gardner lot <br />is by a private easement, there is no .well- <br />defined front or rear to the property. <br />Another problem is that this area was platted <br />and developed before the land was zoned two <br />acres, and as a result, the two acre require­ <br />ments are not really applicable. Mr. Gardner <br />was asked whether he could move ]iis garage <br />further to the north, but he felt that if he <br />did, he would not nave enough area between the <br />iiouse and the garage for turning. <br />Searles moved, Guthrie seconded, that the <br />approval of the side yard and front yard set­ <br />back variance be granted as long as a written <br />statement from the owner of RLS 934 is <br />presented to the Council indicating tliat they <br />have no objections. Motion, Ayes (6) - Nays (0). <br />Elliott entered Council Chambers at 8:00 P.M. <br />7:30 <br />VARIANCE <br />1486 Long Lake Boulevard <br />Mr. Nicholas Palaia presented the Casco Point <br />Corp. proposal for four townhouses on a narrow <br />peninsula at the end of Ivy Place. A restrictive <br />conenant concerning this piece of property <br />prohibits any d»»veiopment on the original <br />peninsula, the townhouses were designed considering <br />tJic fact that units must be limited to that portion <br />of the peninsula that had been created by fill, <br />that the sanitary sewer line had a 20* easement <br />and that tliere was a SO* setback from the lake. <br />Searles directed the Zoning Administrator to <br />consult with the Village Attorney on the question <br />of accumulating building credits on land that <br />has a restrictive covenant that prohibits <br />development. There was some concern about the <br />access to the property, but At. Cox claimed that <br />he had a 25* easement over the neighboring <br />property to the south to connect with Ivy Place. <br />CASCO POINT CORP. <br />End of Ivy Place <br />Searles moved, Guthrie seconded, tnat the <br />Planning Commission recommend to the Council <br />that it hold a public hearing as the PRO <br />ordinance allows. Motion, Ayes (7) - Nays (0),
