MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,November 17,2014 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> that is not inherent to the land. Marquardt stated it is a safety issue and that the deck will also give them <br /> the opportunity to more enjoy the property. <br /> Marquardt stated when you look at the surveys,they show that the lot has somehow shrunk. Marquardt <br /> stated the garage was 30 feet from the road when it was constructed but it is now 29.9 feet from the road. <br /> Marquardt stated the garage did not move,but somehow these differences happen,and that they are <br /> talking about a relatively small number of additional square feet. <br /> Marquardt stated Melanie Curtis has been extremely helpful with their application. Marquardt indicated <br /> they have a door that exits in this location and then a porch that has railings that are above the structural <br /> level. Marquardt indicated they could remove that if absolutely necessary as well as the stone patio. <br /> Marquardt stated they would also be willing to remove other hardcover if necessary. Marquardt stated the <br /> proposed deck is not huge and that they would like to have a table and chairs out there to make it <br /> functional. <br /> Marquardt stated in attendance tonight are Rick Lundeen,their architect,and the two adjacent neighbors. <br /> Also in attendance are the Greenes,who are three houses over. Marquardt stated they have not received <br /> any objections from any of the neighbors. <br /> Chair Leskinen opened the public hearing at 7:33 p.m. <br /> Tom Kubalak, 2623 Casco Point Road, stated he and his wife fully and wholeheartedly support the <br /> addition to the house. <br /> Chair Leskinen closed the public hearing at 7:34 p.m. <br /> Schoenzeit asked if the house as built is larger than what was approved in 2001. <br /> Curtis stated to her understanding it is not but that she is not sure if the side entry deck was included in <br /> the 2001 approval. The deck is 60 square feet and the overage is approximately 70 square feet. Curtis <br /> stated the survey is pretty accurate in displaying what is on the property. <br /> Schoenzeit asked if it is over with the most favorable set of numbers. <br /> Curtis stated she is basing it on square footages and not percentages since that would be the most <br /> equitable way to compare it. <br /> Landgraver stated he had a similar thought and that he noticed there is a walkway from the driveway to <br /> the front door and that there is now more paving being shown, which may be a reason for the hardcover <br /> increase. <br /> Marquardt indicated that was there in 2001. <br /> Curtis stated she is not sure how the previous survey accounted for the cantilever on the north side of the <br /> house. <br /> Page 9 of 23 <br />
