• <br />MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON OCTOBER 21, 1996 <br />( #8 - #2182 Herbert Terry Olson - Continued) <br />McMillan asked if there was any more detail on the retaining walls. Mabusth said no <br />detail was known but the design would have to show how much excavation would take <br />place. McMillan also asked if sewer lines can be moved. Mabusth said they could but <br />would be at the expense of the applicant. Mabusth also noted that the sewer lines need <br />clean outs located every so many feet. <br />Schroeder asked Olson if they have thought through the cost involved in relocating the <br />sewer line. Olson said no but did know what the sewer cost them initially. <br />Schroeder said it was his opinion that the application should be tabled to allow for further <br />consideration. Olson was informed of the proceedings whether the application would <br />move on to the Council or tabled and brought back before the Planning Commission. <br />Hawn asked if the Olsons were able to pull out from the garage onto Bayside Road. <br />Olson said there is about 1 -1/2 car lengths prior to entering Bayside, which enables them <br />to look for any traffic. <br />Stoddard said he struggles with relocating the garage in this area when there is room to <br />move it elsewhere without requiring a variance. Berg added that the cost of moving the <br />sewer line is on top of the relocation. <br />Mabusth asked the Planning Commission for direction, whether they would allow the <br />rebuilding of the garage in that location, to enable the Olsons to proceed. <br />Hawn said she didn't understand why the applicant preferred the garage in that location <br />but asked for consideration of safety and of other options. Hawn also asked about any <br />impact on the sewer, the cost involved to relocate the line, and whether the applicant was <br />prepared to pay the cost. <br />McMillan suggested building the garage to the north. She later said it would be a good <br />exercise to consider such a change. Olson responded that it would require more <br />excavation. McMillan asked what makes this garage handy. Olson said she's able to look <br />across the street and stores items in the garage, though not her main reason. McMillan <br />said she favored tabling the application and would like to see the design of the garage if it <br />is to be rebuilt in that area or see a working plan for a garage off of the long driveway. <br />Hawn moved, Berg seconded, to table Application #2182 for further review.
