r <br />MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON AUGUST 19, 1996 <br />(#9 - #2164 Douglas Olson - Continued) <br />Stoddard noted that the driveway is used to serve others. Gaffron said the calculations do <br />not include the area of driveway easements. <br />Michels reported that the roof pitch was changing from a gabled to a hip roof. The roof <br />would slope away even with the increased height and would result in being lower as it <br />starts lower. <br />Lindquist noted that the Planning Commission has reviewed several proposals and asked if <br />this proposal would actually move forward. Michels was not sure. He did note that this <br />plan was more refined and scaled back in scope. The home would change in square <br />footage by 30 %. Michels said they would like to begin construction soon. He noted the <br />tradeoff of driveway with the addition of hardcover adding that there may be room for <br />more removal. Lindquist commented that a major reduction has already been <br />accomplished on the property. Stoddard said the applicant informed him of the removals <br />made in the pool area already. He also commented that he was not concerned with the <br />average lakeshore setback as this was a lot on a point. <br />There were no public comments. <br />• Stoddard moved, Hawn seconded, to approve Application #2164 as submitted. Vote: <br />Ayes 5, Nays 1, Peterson, the principle of the average lakeshore setback. <br />• <br />( #10) #2166 JANET KIERNAN, 1491 SHORELINE DRIVE - VARIANCES - <br />PUBLIC HEARING 9 :15 -10:03 P.M. <br />The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. <br />The Applicant was present, along with Architect, Maureen Stratton, and Attorney, Allen <br />Christy. <br />Gaffron passed out the neighborhood acknowledgment forms recently received expressing <br />approval of the application. <br />Gaffron reported that the application request is for lakeshore setback, average lakeshore <br />setback, side setback, and hardcover variances for both the 0 -75' and 75 -250' setbacks for <br />construction of additions to the existing residence. A street setback variance is also <br />required for expansion of the existing detached garage. The driveway will be relocated. <br />The garage is located on a triangular piece of property of which the ownership <br />background has been unclear. <br />17 <br />
