1 1 <br /> MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> MEETING HELD ON MARCH 16, 1998 <br /> • (#3)#2335 Lawrence Molsather and Linda Sallee- Continued) <br /> There were no public comments. <br /> Stoddard moved, Berg seconded, to recommend approval per Staff recommendation. <br /> Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br /> (#4)#2292 TOM OKERSTROM, 770 TONKAWA ROAD - VARIANCES - 8:56- <br /> 9:40 P.M. <br /> The Applicant was present. <br /> Bressler distributed pictures of the property. The application had previously been tabled <br /> due to problems with the survey, which did not accurately reflect the hardcover. The <br /> proposal is for a detached garage with dormers requiring variances for hardcover in the <br /> 75-250' lakeshore setback, structural coverage, and street setback. Bressler indicated that <br /> staff feels the garage location at 8' from the right of way is problematic. <br /> The residence was built in 1996 without a garage. The residence consumed the allowed <br /> hardcover and structural coverage. A driveway is still needed. The lot area and width do <br /> not meet zoning requirements. The structural coverage is proposed at 19%. <br /> • Bressler reported that the drainage pattern was altered when the residence was built. The <br /> drainage problem has not been corrected which was a condition of the temporary <br /> certificate of occupancy. Final certificate of occupancy was not obtained. <br /> Bressler indicated that the 35' street setback could be met but would further increase the <br /> amount of hardcover. The shed will be removed as part of the application but was to have <br /> been removed when the house was built. <br /> Bressler recommended approval per the amendments and conditions noted in the memo. <br /> Okerstrom informed the Commission that he had been unaware of the hardcover issue <br /> when he built the house. He feels this should be disclosed to the public. He would have <br /> made changes to his plans at that time if he had known. Okerstrom indicated that the <br /> building pad is the same as the previous residence on the property. <br /> Bressler said Building Inspector, Bruce Vang, had discussed these issues with the builder <br /> when the residence was built. Okerstrom said the information was not passed on to him. <br /> He said he only heard of the shed removal and drainage issue recently. Bressler said the <br /> drainage correction was part of the condition of the temporary certificate of occupancy <br /> but was not done. <br /> • <br /> 14 <br />
