• <br />MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON AUGUST 19, 1996 <br />( #6 - #2160 David Dotzenroth - Continued) <br />Smith asked what the use of the addition was for and who would construct it. Dotzenroth <br />said the expansion would allow his vehicles to be stored within and noted that he would <br />contract out for the work. Smith asked what the time frame would be for the home <br />completion, garage, and yard cleanup. Dotzenroth said the home was started last year, <br />and he is in the process of finishing the roof and walkway. He thought the home would be <br />completed in a couple months. The yard should be cleaned up of construction material at <br />that time. Dotzenroth said the garage would be done after the home and all should be <br />completed by spring of 1997. He said all of the work including landscaping will be done <br />within the time frame of the one year variance allotment. <br />Hawn asked if the entry to the side could be accomplished without destroying the black <br />walnut tree. Dotzenroth said he has not measured it, and it would be close. She asked <br />about the 3 -car garage but 2 -car design. Dotzenroth said two stalls are tandem. <br />Berg asked if Dotzenroth intended on keeping the sheds on the property. Dotzenroth said <br />one of the sheds would be eliminated. <br />Smith asked Dotzenroth for his choice of either the garage pulled back with a side apron <br />or a steeper gabled roof. Dotzenroth preferred the roof Smith asked if this was allowed, <br />if Dotzenroth would be willing to orient the garage per the Staff recommendation. <br />• Dotzenroth said he would be looking at ice slides. Gaffron noted that this concern could <br />be eliminated by redesigning the peak of the roof and showed Dotzenroth a sketch how <br />that could be accomplished. <br />The issue of the garage entry was discussed. Lindquist said the side entry was a matter of <br />safety. Dotzenroth did not think this made a difference with the road being at the end of <br />the point. Smith said it would improve the safety, not only for traffic, but for egress onto <br />Casco Point and provide parking safety. Dotzenroth asked if he had the door for access <br />but be allowed two on the side. Smith said this would defeat what the Commission was <br />trying to accomplish. <br />Hawn said she was concerned with a variance allowing the garage so close to the roadway <br />when this would not be allowed for others. She does not find the situation to be so unique <br />as to compel approval of the resolution when there is another solution for side entry. She <br />had no problem with the steeper roof. Smith agreed that the steeper roof would be all <br />right. Dotzenroth said he would like to measure the distances to see what effect it would <br />have on the black walnut trees. <br />There were no public comments. <br />Lindquist said he preferred the side door entry. Dotzenroth asked if he could keep the <br />• concrete apron for guest parking. <br />11 <br />
