• ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES FOR FEBRUARY 22, 1995 Nolan questioned the shed that encroaches a neighboring property. Mabusth explained that often in these situations neighbors resolve the problems on their own. However, in this situation the City had sent a letter to Perl advising him of the need to move the shed so this will be a requirement of the City. Perl also has outside storage problems. Perl responded that he did not realize the shed was on neighboring property. He has already begun some of the property clean up. Mabusth also noted the need for applicant to connect to sewer as there is an increase in bedroom use. There were no comments from the public. Perl confirmed that he does not operate a business out of his home. Nolan asked about the shed, noting a neighbor's letter asking for the relocation of shed and requesting a bond to ensure it is completed. Mabusth responded that as a condition of approval of this application, the City would require a building permit for the shed and to move it within his property to a conforming location. Nolan also commented on the sliding glass door on the second floor where a future deck may be constructed. Perl may need a variance to build the deck and he needs to be aware of this. Members suggested a board be used to close off the second floor patio door. Nolan noted the extensive exterior storage on the property and felt it was a problem. Peterson moved, Smith seconded, to approve Application #1996 for Gregg Perl, 309 Westlake Street, for a side setback variance with staff recommendations 1 -5 in the memo dated February 15, 1995 and adding the deadline date of July 1995 for the removal of all exterior storage violations. Ayes 4, nays 1. Nolan objected to the sliding glass door on the second floor. He felt that if the Planning Commission had reviewed this application prior to construction, it would not have been approved with a sliding glass door.
