C7 <br />MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON AUGUST 18. 1997 <br />(#6 - #2270 Marcia and Kenneth Hickey - Continued) <br />McMillan said she would support the Staff recommendation. Hickey said that <br />recommendation includes the removal of the shed which he does not want to remove. He <br />noted neighboring sheds and the shed being in existence since 1956. Hickey said without <br />the second story. he would need the shed. Van Zomeren clarified where the 13' height is <br />measured. <br />Van Zomeren said there is also the problem of where the shed is located. Hickey said the <br />shed sits on a cement slab and is surrounded by foliage eliminating it from view. Stoddard <br />questioned where the shed is in its conformity to the code. <br />Hawn said she would like to consider a slightly higher garage height. Stoddard said he <br />would be satisfied with a 22 -1t2' height. Smith questioned how it would be calculated. <br />McMillan said the problem is what type of second story and where to draw the line. <br />Hawn said the elan is not offensive to the neighbors and second stories have been <br />permitted. She felt if the second story was allowed, the shed would have to be removed. <br />Stoddard moved, Hawn seconded, to approve Application #2270 for a detached garage <br />for a height variance with overall peak maximum height of 22.5', 15' side setback, and <br />footprint of 988 s.f and elimination of existing shed. Stoddard noted the first story could <br />• be 8. 7' second storv. with 1' joist snacine in- between. and 6.5' roof joist for a total of <br />22.5' peak. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 2, Berg, McMillan. Motion passed. <br />• <br />( #7) #2271 CHAD NILSSON, 3210 NAVARRE LANE - VARIANCES - PUBLIC <br />HEARING <br />The application review was postponed at the request of the applicant. <br />(#g) #2272 WYATT MOE,1230 SPRUCE PLACE - VACATION, LOT LINE <br />REARRANGEMENT AND VARIANCES - PUBLIC HEARING 9:32 -9:46 P.M. <br />The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. <br />Nancy Moe was present, along with representative, JoEllen Hurr. <br />Gaffron reported that the application has been revised and amended to reflect the <br />additional vacation of the dedicated public right- of -wav and park and variances for lot <br />area, width, and hardcover. The City is not using the right -of -way and park areas, and the <br />Planning Commission previously aereed that the vacation would make sense. The <br />vacation is subject to Staff review of what portion to retain for Spruce Place. The <br />application includes the subdivision of a lot fine rearrangement. <br />17 <br />
