MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON JUNE 16, 1997 <br />• <br />( #3 - #2242 Wayne Johnson - Continued) <br />Van Zomeren reported that the property is located in the RR -1B Zoning District requiring <br />2 acre lot size. The lot does not meet lot area or lot width requirements. The proposal is <br />for construction of a 569 s.f addition to serve as a garage. A front yard setback variance <br />is required to allow a 34.06' setback as currently exists from the 50' requirement. There <br />are no further variances created by the proposal. <br />Wayne Johnson said he would like to increase his garage size from a single to a two -car <br />garage. <br />There were no public comments. <br />McMillan moved, Lindquist seconded, to approve Application #2242 for a front yard <br />variance to allow the proposed garage to encroach into the front yard setback the same <br />distance, 34.06', as the principal structure. Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br />(#4) #2243 - JOHN D. BLACK, 4030 DAHL ROAD - VARIANCE - PUBLIC <br />HEARING 7:13 -7:21 P.M. <br />The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. <br />• The Applicant was present. <br />Van Zomeren reported that the property is located in the one family lakeshore requiring <br />one acre size lots. The lot is .87 acres and of an unusual shape. The proposal is to change <br />the lakeside of the existing residence to replace a deck and 12'x18' screened porch. <br />Variances required include 0 -75' hardcover, average Lakeshore setback, and lakeshore <br />setback. The hardcover would increase by 13.5 s.f Van Zomeren said the hardships <br />include the unusual lot shape and the fact that the structure is existing. <br />John Black said he would like to replace the existing deck with a new deck that is farther <br />from the lakeshore. He indicated the distance using a tape measure on the ground is over <br />80'. The additional room proposed would be located off the kitchen with a screened porch <br />below over the existing deck that is to be replaced. Black indicated that he would be <br />willing to decrease the size of the driveway if necessary. <br />Lindquist informed Black that the Planning Commission does not favor any hardcover in <br />the 0 -75' setback. <br />Black noted that his property is screened from the neighboring properties. <br />Lindquist, Smith, and McMillan indicated that the variance for the average Lakeshore <br />• setback is not an issue. <br />3 <br />
