• ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />MINUTES FOR SEPTEMBER 15,1997 <br />( #8 - #2284 John Latterelle - Continued) <br />Latterelle said the sole purpose of the deck is not only for a fire escape but to enjoy the outdoors. <br />He noted he also has an old refrigerator that he is unable to remove without the deck being built. <br />There were no public comments. <br />Lindquist noted no previous variance had been granted. The current owner was unaware of past <br />occurrences. Lindquist noted there is only one entrance with a garage underneath. He noted <br />approvals have been received for such additions and asked how much of a reduction the applicant <br />could provide. Hawn noted structural coverage variance is also required. The applicant said he <br />could reduce the 26'x12' deck to 20'x10'. A front setback variance would still be required and side <br />setback would be met at 10'. <br />Berg asked the applicant whether he would like the Commission to table the application, approve <br />with Staff recommendation, or possibly deny as proposed. <br />Stoddard said he would like to see the applicant have the opportunity to have a deck. <br />• Van Zomeren noted with the 200 s.f. deck structural coverage would be at 25% where 15% is <br />g , <br />allowed. The .15 acre lot is in the 1/2 acre zoning. <br />CJ <br />Stoddard moved, Lindquist seconded, to approve Application #2285 approving a 200 s.f. deck <br />granting front variance and structural coverage of 25 %. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 2, McMillan, Hawn, <br />due to the amount of structural coverage. <br />( #9) #2287 BRADLEY AND TRACI PETERSON, 1770 SHADYWOOD ROAD - <br />VARIANCES - PUBLIC HEARING 10:56 -11:02 P.M. <br />The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. <br />The Applicant was present. <br />Van Zomeren reported that the applicant is a request to replace a deck on the lakeside of the existing <br />residence that is in progress. The building inspector tagged the work due to the need for a variance. <br />The deck replacement requires hardcover, side setback, average lakeshore setback, and lakeshore <br />setback variances. Structural coverage is at 15.9 %. The deck is less than 6' high and does not <br />increase the structural coverage. <br />26 <br />
