MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON FEBRUARY 18, 1997 <br />0 ( #1 - #2211 Zoning Amendment - Continued) <br />Van Zomeren said when the policy comes back to the March meeting, there may be <br />language guiding the location of antennas within the City. <br />Council Member Goetten said the Council has many of the same concerns expressed and <br />felt the need for more information. She indicated an applicant is not prohibited from <br />making an application for an antenna, but it is the wish of the Council that they are not <br />located all throughout the City. <br />The schedule regarding the moratorium and amendment was discussed. The moratorium <br />could be extended. Van Zomeren also indicated a land use moratorium under State law <br />could run as long as 30 months, but that is too prohibitive for this issue. <br />Lindquist moved, Schroeder seconded, to recommend approval of Ordinance No. , 2nd <br />Series. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 1, Hawn. McMillan noted the motion was allowing for the <br />start of the process. <br />ACTION ITEM <br />( #5) #2206 ELAINE AND STEVE SILUS, 3235 CASCO CIRCLE - VARIANCE - <br />• PUBLIC HEARING 7:35 -7:52 P.M. <br />The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. <br />The Applicants were present. <br />Van Zomeren reported the application is a request for variances to hardcover, Lakeshore <br />setback, and structural coverage for a Lakeshore residence in the LR -1C Zoning District <br />requiring 1/2 acres. The structural coverage variance is a 0.28% increase over the 15% <br />allowable. The lot width requirement is 100'. The property in question is 55' wide. The <br />applicant proposes to remove the existing structure and replace with a new structure. A <br />new deck would be located 8' in front of the average Lakeshore setback. The proposal <br />would result in a 123 s.f increase of hardcover in the 75 -250' setback and a 221 s.f <br />reduction in the 250 -500' setback. The structure would be located beyond the average <br />Lakeshore setback line of the two adjoining properties. <br />Van Zomeren indicated the issues include the narrow lot, which is consistent with the <br />neighboring properties, a reduction in hardcover, increase in structural coverage, and an <br />attempt to prohibit any negative impact to a Hackberry tree located on the property. <br />is <br />
