• ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />MINUTES FOR JULY 21, 1997 <br />( #2) #2238 CHIC DWIGHT AND FRED GUTTORMSON <br />1220 TONKAWA ROAD <br />VARIANCES <br />CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING 7:24 -7:58 P.M. <br />The Applicants were present. <br />Gaffron reported that the application had been previously tabled at prior meetings. The question <br />revolves around the after - the -fact variance for deck and enclosed porch improvements, and a new <br />hardcover variance request for a 32'x30' detached garage. Gaffron directed attention to the memo <br />of June 12 regarding the applicant's discussion with him regarding options of reorienting the <br />proposed garage and relocating the driveway loop and eliminating the loop in the yard to <br />eliminate hardcover in the 0 -75' setback. No conclusions were made. The issues still involve the <br />reconstruction of the deck, deck enclosure, and detached garage. The potential tradeoffs were <br />reviewed as noted in the memo. <br />Lindquist asked the applicant to respond. <br />• Guttormson said he discussed the options with Gaffron. <br />• <br />Dwight said they have agreed to remove the deck at the lakeshore if the garage and deck <br />enclosure are allowed. The gravel driveway would be eliminated resulting in reduction in <br />hardcover. <br />Guttormson questioned whether the enclosure is actually a building. Lindquist said it was and <br />would have to be reconstructed to code. Lindquist said the garage as proposed should be moved <br />to meet the 15' setback and loop driveway eliminated in the 0 -75' setback. Gaffron said if the <br />removals were made, the applicant would remove the shed, gravel driveway to lake, and lakeside <br />deck but wished to leave the loop driveway as it is. <br />Hawn noted there were two sheds by the lake. Guttormson said both sheds would be removed <br />(one already has been removed). <br />Hawn asked about storage of the motor home. Guttormson said it is parked elsewhere during the <br />winter months and parked on the property during the summer when not in use. <br />Lindquist asked if the applicant was willing to reduce the driveway loop. Guttormson said he <br />has made it as small as possible in order to still be able to turn around. <br />7 <br />
