MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON SEPTEMBER l8, 1995 <br />i <br />( #10 - #2066 Robert and Iris Waade - Continued) <br />Rowlette said the basement consists of 18 courses and considers the home now too large. <br />It was her opinion that no more can be added to the structure. <br />Gaffron asked if there was any logic to changing the roof pitch from its present flat look. <br />The applicant said the roof was old and a flat roof was not conducive to the Minnesota <br />winters. It is his intention to redo the windows and plumbing. The roof does not present <br />any curb appeal and a low pitch roof would not help to improve the look. The applicant <br />felt the high pitch would aid in setting the second story into the structure and is currently <br />proposed at 25' in height. The applicant said the original house had the boathouse in the <br />lower Ievel, but now houses the utilities, and that is the reason for the 18 course basement. <br />The rest of the house has 8' ceilings. The applicant said the height would be 24' with the <br />use of a different pitch. <br />Rowlette said she could not approve the application as proposed. The applicant asked for <br />suggestions. Rowlette said the applicant needs to soften the look, and she would be open <br />to enclosing the carport area. Lindquist and Hawn agreed. <br />is The applicant asked what the Commissioners opinion was of an addition of a 2 -car garage <br />with a rambler style home, while maintaining a regular roof pitch. Commissioners said <br />side setback and lot coverage would be issues in that scenario. The applicant was told to <br />come back with an amended proposal. <br />Rowlette moved, Schroeder seconded, to table Application #2066. <br />Gaffron noted receiving acknowledgement forms from the neighbors on each side of the <br />property. <br />The applicant asked for an opinion on what could be done to the property. Most of the <br />Commissioners voiced that it was their belief that very little could be done to the property. <br />Vote: Ayes 6, Nays 0. <br />( #I1) #2067 BRUCE AND TERRY CLARK, 625 OLD LONG LAKE ROAD - <br />VARIANCES - PUBLIC HEARING 10:59 -11:00 P.M. <br />The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. <br />The applicants were present. <br />Gaffron displayed a survey showing the proposed side setback variance for extending the <br />existing attached garage. <br />22 <br />
