MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Tuesday, January 16, 2018 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />Chair Thiesse opened the public hearing at 6:52 p.m. <br />There were no public comments relating to this application. <br />Chair Thiesse continued the public hearing to February 12. <br />Thiesse noted the two neighbors have submitted letters in support of the deck. <br />Landgraver stated it is being moved further away from the lakeshore and that they are reducing hardcover <br />in that area, he would be in favor of it. <br />Leskinen agreed the applicant is reducing the encroachment going out and that the deck does not appear <br />to be obstructing any views of the neighbors, which is the objective of the average lakeshore setback. <br />Leskinen stated since it is not obstructing any views, she would be in favor of it. <br />Lemke stated the glass railing is also less obtrusive than the current wood railing. <br />Landgraver asked why this was not caught at the time the application was submitted for the retaining <br />walls. <br />Oakden indicated this is a different builder who is now constructing the home. Oakden stated the house <br />application was just received this month and the deck was noticed after the variance was granted for the <br />work to the shore. <br />Lemke moved, Leskinen seconded, to recommend approval of Application No. 18-3992, Revolution <br />Design Build on behalf of Kevin and Patty Kretsch, 3155 Casco Point Road, granting of an average <br />lakeshore setback variance for a new deck.
