ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD FEBRUARY 11, 1991 <br />ZONING FILE #1605 - LINDSTROM CONTINUED <br />extended family. The plan for the garage is revised from our <br />initial proposal which showed a one level, four car garage. We <br />revised the garage in response to the Planning Commission's <br />concerns about hardcover on this property. The garage is being <br />placed on existing hardcover so there is no increase proposed in <br />the 75' -250' zone." <br />Goetten questioned whether the proposal would constitute a <br />guest apartment. <br />Gaffron stated that the applicant had not made such a <br />proposal. He asked Bedker if the plans call for an additional <br />kitchen area. <br />Bedker replied, "There will be no second kitchen. There is <br />a central dining room and kitchen. The addition will provide <br />only bedrooms on the second level." <br />Goetten asked how large this lot is. <br />Gaffron stated that the lot is approximately 8 /10ths of an <br />acre. <br />Goetten asked if it would be possible to remove some <br />driveway area in exchange for the added structural hardcover <br />proposed. <br />Bedker stated that a turn - around area will be necessary so <br />that cars will not have to back down the driveway. He said, <br />"When we relocated the garage to the driveway so not to increase <br />hardcover in the 75' -250' setback area, we eliminated the <br />potential of reducing the driveway. <br />Jabbour said, "I believe the house is over - ambitious for the <br />size of the lot. I do not think this house would have existed as <br />it is now, were it not for the trade -off to remove the original <br />cabins. I.think we need to consider whether we are moving <br />closer, or farther away from .our Code if we approve this <br />application. Would it be necessary to remove any trees to <br />accommodate the garage ?" <br />Bedker stated that there would be no tree removal and added <br />that all of the additions will occur on existing hardcover. <br />Goetten noted that the garage is being placed over existing <br />plastic and gravel and did not consider that to be a practical <br />exchange. She said, "This may be one of those properties that <br />has been developed to its capacity. I am concerned about whether <br />the property can accommodate this addition proposal." <br />Mayor Peterson was appreciative of the efforts made by the <br />- 9 - <br />
