MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON JUNE 16, 1997 <br />•( #1 - #2232 Walter Holzer Continued) <br />Smith asked if Holzer had plans for electricity, heating, and cooling of the building. <br />Holzer said he planned to construct a bathroom due to the far distance to the residence. <br />He will use in -floor heating on the main floor and forced air upstairs, which would require <br />that water be connected to the building. Holzer said he understands that having water <br />connected may be a problem. Lindquist informed him that plumbing would create the <br />problem and would require further approval. Holzer was informed that the water <br />connection would be allowed. <br />Lindquist said he was satisfied with the application at a size of 1000 s.f. <br />Smith agreed with Lindquist and asked the applicant if he would clean up the property. <br />Holzer said he has already cleaned out the majority of the materials on the property and <br />would complete that task once the building is erected. Smith noted that the lot is lovely <br />and the building would provide storage of any materials. <br />Van Zomeren noted that the height of the building is an issue requiring a variance. <br />There were no public comments. <br />• Stoddard suggested the building height would decrease if 5' were taken off the dimensions <br />of the building. He noted the property is heavily wooded and neighbors support the <br />proposal. Holzer said the height of the building would not change. Smith noted that if the <br />principal structure was of typical height, no height variance would be required. <br />Stoddard moved, Smith seconded, to approve Application 92233 for a detached accessory <br />structure with a variance allowing a 30' height maximum provided the footprint of the <br />building be limited to 1000 s.f. Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br />(Agenda Item #2 was moved to the end of the agenda after item #14 to see whether <br />the applicant would be present at the meeting in order to discuss the application.) <br />( 0) #2242 - WAYNE A. JOHNSON, 1225 LAKEVIEW AVENUE - VARIANCE - <br />PUBLIC HEARING 7:11 -7:13 P.M. <br />The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. <br />The Applicant was present. <br />2 <br />
