MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Tuesday, February 19, 2019 <br />6:30 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />There were no public comments. <br /> <br />Chair Thiesse closed the public hearing at 7:01 p.m. <br /> <br />Libby commented the meandering the shoreline makes it difficult to measure it from a straight line and <br />that the support of the neighborhood is an important consideration. If there are no objections from the <br />nearby neighbors, that would tend to make him favor the variances. Libby stated under the circumstances <br />and due to the unique situation with the location of the house, he would tend to favor the variances. <br /> <br />Ressler stated he would be in support of it considering the way the lakeshore goes and that the proposal <br />does not look like it is an aggressive change in the average lakeshore setback line. <br /> <br />Olson stated he is in support of it, especially since the project is smaller than what was originally <br />approved. <br /> <br />Landgraver commented it is an improvement over the first project, and while he has a concern with the <br />creeping forward in the average lakeshore setback line, he is in support of it. <br /> <br />Thiesse noted the applicant has improved upon what was approved last year, but that because the <br />variances have expired, it should perhaps be considered a blank sheet. Thiesse stated because the <br />Planning Commission approved variances previously, that might be the way to go. <br />Ressler moved, Libby seconded, to recommend approval of Application No. LA19-000005, Steve <br />Schottler, 2740 Shadywood Road, granting of an after-the-fact variance to the average lakeshore <br />setback. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br /> <br />
