MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,June 18,2018 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> 5. LA18-000055 PAUL VOGSTROM,2709 WALTERS PORT LANE, SKETCH PLAN, <br /> 6:49 P.M.—8:07 P.M.—Continued <br /> Curtis stated this is essentially a subdivision to create this lot and that she is not sure what the precedent is <br /> for granting an average lakeshore variance for the house at the same a new lot is being created. Curtis <br /> stated she does not believe that is typically done. <br /> Vogstrom indicated they could some do modifications but that it was his understanding it could not go <br /> beyond what was previously there. <br /> Curtis asked if they would be requesting the average lakeshore setback for what is proposed on the plan. <br /> Vogstrom indicated he would be. Vogstrom stated he would like to meet with everybody on site so they <br /> can understand what everyone's sightlines are. <br /> Ressler stated they are looking at the fundamentals of the setback and it is an encroachment on the <br /> setback, which is something that has to be taken into consideration. Ressler suggested the developer try <br /> to be more conforming and think of ways he can soften the encroachment. <br /> Curtis suggested they stake the house on the site so the Commissioners and neighbors can view it. Curtis <br /> noted the Planning Commission cannot meet on site with the developer as a group. <br /> Libby requested he do a clear survey with the setback markers on there. <br /> Barnhart suggested he contact Staff when the work is done so they can take pictures and notify the <br /> Planning Commissioners. <br /> Thiesse asked if Mr. Hueler's view was blocked by the previous house. <br /> Hueler indicated it was a one-story house but that the porch did extend past the 75-foot setback. Hueler <br /> noted the previous house and foundation is gone, which has improved their view, and that they would like <br /> to keep it. <br /> Eric Vogstrom noted the trees block part of his view. <br /> Ressler commented it would be great if they could soften it a bit and show some flexibility. <br /> Thiesse stated Item No. 8 reads that Staff will need to confirm whether or not Lot 2 meets the width <br /> requirement at the OHWL and at the 75-foot setback. Thiesse noted Staff will need to have that <br /> information. <br /> Item No. 9 states that it is unclear from the plans whether or not Lot 1 wraps around Lot 2 to encompass <br /> the Huelers' driveway or if a portion of the lot is to be sold/transferred to the Huelers. <br /> Vogstrom stated they will create a more accurate plan. <br /> Thiesse noted Item No. 10 stated that the current plan appears to remove the driveway connection from <br /> 2709 Walters Port to Walters Port. The property address will need to be changed if there is no connection <br /> Page 16 of 21 <br />
