MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,March 17,2014 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Johnson noted they are also proposing to remove the roof off of the existing deck on the lake side. <br /> Chair Leskinen opened the public hearing at 7:42 p.m. <br /> There were no public comments relating to this application. <br /> Chair Leskinen closed the public hearing at 7:42 p.m. <br /> Leskinen asked if there is only one structure on the property at the present time. <br /> Curtis indicated there is. <br /> Leskinen asked if the requirement to remove plumbing in the cabin is because it would be an accessory <br /> structure once the new structure is constructed. <br /> Curtis stated on Big Island, the Code allows someone to have guest quarters and does not relate to septic <br /> requirements. <br /> Leskinen asked if it is different than the main land. <br /> Curtis indicated it is since a person on the main land would be allowed to have a toilet and a sink in an <br /> outbuilding. <br /> Berg asked if they go with three bedrooms versus four bedrooms whether that would allow them to keep <br /> the kitchen. <br /> Curtis stated it would not.

Curtis stated it appears that a considerable amount of the structure will be <br /> the ground based on the survey. <br /> Lemke noted it says no structure shall exceed two and a half stories and shall not exceed 30 feet.
