MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,May 21,2018 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> 4. LA18-000043 LDK HOMES, 1509 LONG LAKE BOULEVARD,VARIANCES, <br /> 6:58 P.M.—7:07 P.M.—Continued <br /> The Planning Commission had no questions for Staff. <br /> Scott Hockentire stated they would be able to answer any questions the Planning Commission may have. <br /> Chair Thiesse opened the public hearing at 7:03 p.m. <br /> Rachel Carpenter, 1540 Long Lake Boulevard, stated she would like to see the plans at some point. <br /> Carpenter asked whether the new roofline would be about the same height as the current home. <br /> Oakden stated she is unsure how the new roofline compares to the existing one but that the applicants are <br /> proposing to construct the house to meet the 30-foot requirement and are not requesting a variance to the <br /> height at this time. <br /> Carpenter asked if it will be a spec house. <br /> Bergstrom indicated it will not be. <br /> Chair Thiesse closed the public hearing at 7:04 p.m. <br /> Thiesse asked what the side yard setback is for the property at 1525. <br /> Oakden indicated that lot is a little more narrow, and due to its substandard width,they are allowed to <br /> have a 10-foot setback. Oakden stated this lot was measured at 116 feet, which means it would have an <br /> 11.6 foot setback. <br /> Seals noted there is a comment in Staff's report that the applicant will need to address how water will be <br /> managed. Seals asked whether that has been addressed yet. <br /> Oakden stated that is generally a standard comment from the City Engineer and a detailed review of the <br /> grading plan is typically done at the building permit review. <br /> Thiesse stated it appears the whole lot grades to the neighbor's lot,which is allowed. Thiesse noted the <br /> plan does have some arrows depicting how they are trying to keep some of the water on the subject lot but <br /> that is something that will have to be dealt with. <br /> Landgraver stated normally he would be concerned about the deck but that it is staying within the current <br /> footprint. <br /> Thiesse noted the house is also being pulled back from the lake. <br /> Lemke moved,Libby seconded,to recommend approval of Application No.LA18-000043, 1509 <br /> Long Lake Boulevard,granting of rear and side yard setback variances and lot area and lot width <br /> variances subject to Staffs comments.
