MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> MEETING HELD ON FEBRUARY 17, 1998 <br /> • -{#1 - #2312 Claus Weiler and Renee Meerkins Continued) <br /> Smith was informed by the applicant that the additional garage would be used for an extra <br /> car, boat, and storage of bikes and lawn equipment. A 3-car garage currently exists on the <br /> property. <br /> Smith asked Staff about the policy to allow a deck to be replaced. She questioned the <br /> time limit once the deck has been removed. It was noted that the previously existing <br /> decks were removed about one year ago. Smith said the application would be viewed <br /> differently if the decks had been removed farther in the past. <br /> Smith moved, McMillan seconded, to approve Application#2312 per Staff <br /> recommendations. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br /> (#2) #2320 MITCHELL AND ASTA GERSOVITZ,3650 CASCO AVENUE - <br /> VARIANCES - 6:41-6:46 P.M. <br /> The Applicants were present. <br /> Bressler distributed pictures of the property. He reported the proposal is to install a bay <br /> window over a portion of the existing deck and building a dormer over the existing <br /> garage. These improvements require an average lakeshore setback variance as the entire <br /> residence is ahead of the average lakeshore setback line. <br /> Bressler reviewed the issues as presented in the information packet. He recommended <br /> approval of the application as submitted. <br /> The applicant had no additional comments. <br /> There were no public comments. <br /> Stoddard asked if the neighbors had any comments regarding the proposed improvements <br /> noting the neighbors are generally asked for their opinion when the plans involve a <br /> variance to the average lakeshore setback. Gersovitz said he recently purchased the <br /> property and has yet to move there. Van Zomeren indicated the neighbors were notified <br /> and no comments were received. <br /> The applicant asked if the Council review could take place at the February 23 meeting. <br /> Bressler agreed.
