MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,March 17,2014 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Curtis stated Staff is requesting clarification on the hardcover numbers with the 75-foot setback since a <br /> portion of the house is located within the 75-foot setback. Curtis indicated there is some hardcover in a <br /> conforming location but it is not separated out from the 0-75 foot zone. <br /> Landgraver asked if additional information needs to be submitted on the stepping stones. <br /> Curtis stated she would like clarification on whether that is still part of the project since the landscaping <br /> plan is from last June. <br /> Leskinen stated it appears there is no flagstone walkway being proposed currently. <br /> Schwingler stated the outline by Patio H shows what was there before and on the proposed plan the little <br /> block is the new elevated stairs. <br /> Curtis stated that is what she understands it to be based on the survey and the applicant's plan. Curtis <br /> pointed out the larger patio area. <br /> Lemke asked if the replacement is not in kind due to the elevated stairs <br /> Curtis indicated it is also because they exist in an area that did not previously have hardcover. <br /> Geer stated the majority of the stairs are located within the previous footprint of the brick patio and there <br /> will only be a little piece that sticks out beyond the edges of where the pavers were previously. <br /> Leskinen noted they were not elevated previously. <br /> Geer stated they were not and that they are required to get from one elevation to another elevation. <br /> Schwingler noted previously that was a wall. <br /> Leskinen stated they could accomplish the same thing without encroaching any further and that she is not <br /> inclined to increase the encroachment. <br /> Schwingler and Berg indicated they are in agreement with that. <br /> Leskinen asked if there are any concerns with the conditional use permit aspect of the application. <br /> Landgraver indicated he does not have any. <br /> Schoenzeit moved, Landgraver seconded, to recommend approval of Application No. 14-3656, <br /> Brian Nelson on behalf of Thomas Randgaard,2765 Shadywood Road,granting of an after-the-fact <br /> variance and conditional use permit,subject to the conditions outlined in Staff's report and the <br /> City Engineer recommendations, and further subject to only allowing the use of the existing <br /> hardcover with no further encroachment.
