• ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />MINUTES FOR JULY 219 1997 <br />( #22) #2273 MORGAN NELSON <br />3145 JAMESTOWN ROAD <br />VARIANCE <br />PUBLIC HEARING 11:23 -11:30 P.M. <br />The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. <br />The Applicant was present. <br />Gaffron reported that the application is for lakeshore setback for construction of a gazebo on the <br />property. The proposal would not meet the 150' setback from a Natural Environment Lake but <br />meet the average lakeshore setback and is in line with adjacent homes. The side setback is met. <br />The change in code from 75' to 150' setback occurred in 1992. The variance would be 19' at 13 P <br />from lakeshore. The gazebo would be located off of the driveway. Gaffron said the Commission <br />could recommend the gazebo be placed on the other side of the property to meet the 150' setback. <br />The applicant said it makes sense to place it where it is planned. Nelson indicated that he will be <br />proposing an addition to the home for the south side in the future. <br />•Hawn asked if the applicant spoke with his neighbors and how the gazebo would affect their <br />views. The applicant said he showed his plans to the neighbors, who signed the acknowledgment <br />letter but did not specify whether they were for or against the plan. Gaffron indicated that since <br />the neighbors were not present to voice an objection and did not send a letter of objection, he <br />assumed they did not object. <br />0 <br />The applicant was questioned as to the location of the gazebo. Nelson said he wanted it near the <br />driveway to preserve his views. <br />Smith moved, Berg seconded, to approve Application #2273. <br />McMillan asked if the DNR was notified. Gaffron said the DNR is notified of the agenda as a <br />whole and would probably indicate a self - imposed hardship if they had responded. <br />Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 1, McMillan, for lack of a hardship. <br />35 <br />
