• <br />MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON JULY 15, 1996 <br />( #5 - #2149 Theresa Norsted - Continued) <br />Lindquist commented that he would be in favor of a second story deck if it did not <br />encroach into the average lakeshore setback. <br />Stern commented that he was strongly in favor of maintaining the average Lakeshore <br />setback. He did not wish to see a second story deck which he felt would obstruct his <br />views. It was noted that trees would result in the same obstruction. Stern replied that <br />trees were within the rights of the applicant where a deck was not. Stern asked that the <br />Commission uphold the code. <br />Peterson said, although he usually voted against encroachment into the average lakeshore <br />setback, other members did not necessarily do so. Mabusth added that the City does listen <br />to the comments from neighbors. <br />Stoddard asked the Commission to give direction regarding the garage. Lindquist said he <br />would be in favor of a garage no nearer than 1 -2' from the lot line which might require a <br />fire wall. Lindquist said a side setback variance would probably gain approval. Stoddard <br />said a. registered survey should be conducted. <br />During public comments, Susie Swanson noted that there was a garage on the site in <br />• recent times and questioned whether the felled garage could be grandfathered in. Peterson <br />said the Commission does feel a property owner is entitled to a garage in this climate and <br />would attempt to come to a resolve. <br />Stern said he had no problem with a garage, only with obstruction of the views. <br />Peterson moved, Lindquist seconded, to table Application #2149. Vote: Ayes 6, Nays 0. <br />( #6) #2150 KENT AND SUSAN SWANSON, 3229B CASCO CIRCLE - <br />VARIANCES - PUBLIC HEARING 8:17 -8:25 P.M. <br />The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. <br />The applicants were present. <br />is <br />8 <br />
