MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON MARCH 17, 1997 • ( #8 - #2217 John Timmesh - Continued) The applicant, Mr. Timmesh, said the garage space was for parking his snowmobile, tractor, lawn equipment, and extra car, and would not be used on a daily basis for driving in and out. He would drive the extra car in and out when it was being stored. Timmesh said the design does not lend itself to a second story at this time. He indicated that a second story would not affect the lake views of any neighboring properties. He said he would agree to restrictions placed on him regarding limitations to what he can do but would not want such restrictions placed on future owners. Smith inquired whether the calculations included the removal of the shed. Van Zomeren indicated that they did not. Timmesh said the 83 s.f shed was used for storage of pool supplies. Van Zomeren noted the small percentage changes made by the removal of the shed. Timmesh was asked if he would consider combining the two parcels. Timmesh said he was concerned with the real estate taxes increasing as a result of the combination. The calculations require refiguring due to the parcels being separated. It was also difficult to calculate the percentages with and without the combination due to the road being located between the two parcels. Lindquist suggested the application be tabled to allow • for recalculation. The Commissioners agreed that the hardcover and variance amounts need to be reduced and the shed removed even with the parcels being combined. The ramifications of combining the two parcels in terms of real estate taxes will be determined. Lindquist moved, Stoddard seconded, to table Application #2217. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. (#9) #2219 PENNY SAIKI, 2874 CASCO POINT ROAD - VARIANCES - PUBLIC HEARING 10 :38 -10:47 P.M. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. The Applicant was present. • 17
