MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON APRIL 17, 1995 ( #8 - #2011 Tim & Lori Line - Continued) The Robert Wolfe's inquired if any tree removal would be needed. They noted that the roof line is below the tree line. Lori Line noted that it is their desire to maintain trees and add more if necessary. Nolan moved, Lindquist seconded, to approve Application 42011 for a height variance and hardcover variance in the 75 -250' zone noting the benefit of the drainage system and the design mitigating restrictions. The motion includes item 1 -5 and 1 -3 as noted in the Staff recommendations. Ayes 6, Nays 1, Rowlette, voted mainly on principal, as hardcover variance is required for new construction. ( #9) #2014 JAMES NYSTROM, 1745 CONCORDIA STREET - VARIANCES - PUBLIC HEARING 8:59 -9:20 P.M. The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. Mr. Nystrom was present and represented by his architect, Greg Frazee. Mabusth reported that the application is for proposed additions which would require lakeshore setback variances. The proposed additions are located in front of the average • lakeshore setback line. The existing structure's patio encroaches into the neighbor's property. The neighbor's 3- season porch also enroaches on this property. The great room addition would be located 1.6" from the south side lot line and the rear bedroom addition 1.6' from the same side lot line. Frazee reported their surprise when the survey showed the structure 1.6' from the lot line. This will affect the preliminary plans as presented. Frazee noted that the improvements stay within the roof line of the existing house. The upper level improvements are for a deck, atrium portion of great room, and stairwell to gain access to the master bedroom. Peterson inquired about the distance between the structures. Frazee responded that a change would be needed for the foyer area and possible move of the great room or guestroom to the north side of the house. Rowlette commented that there are problems with either additions not meeting the side setback, and a change in plans would be necessary. Frazee asked for commission's comments on the hardcover in the 75 -250' zone. Lindquist said the area needs to be measured out and figured for reductions. Berg asked if the foundation would be able to handle the new additions. Frazee said the original foundation should be adequate to handle the new additions. Mabusth asked had • this been confirmed of a structural engineer, for if a new foundation is needed, the whole structure could be moved.
