• <br /> MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> MEETING HELD ON MARCH 16, 1998 <br /> • (#8)#2346 Mark and Pamela Palm - Continued) <br /> Acknowledgment letters were signed by adjacent neighbors. Van Zomeren said the <br /> request is reasonable but is concerned with the 3.4' side yard setback. She cautioned the <br /> property owner to get a maintenance easement from the neighbor for placement of a <br /> ladder to access the upper portion of house if application is approved. <br /> Mrs. Palm said her neighbor in the neighboring house was unable to attend but supported <br /> the proposal. Van Zomeren acknowledged that the homes were staggered and <br /> encroachment was not as severe due to this. <br /> Smith asked if the neighbor on the hill would be impacted. Palm said there were mature <br /> trees and the view would be upward. Smith noted she would like to see the existing <br /> excess in structural coverage eliminated. <br /> Mabusth moved, Berg seconded, to approve Application#2346. Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br /> (#9)#2347 TIM SWEEZO,4480 WATERTOWN ROAD- CONDITIONAL USE <br /> PERMIT/VARIANCE <br /> Smith moved, Stoddard seconded, to table Application#2347 at the request of the <br /> applicant.

Bressler distributed pictures of the property. <br /> The application requires a hardcover variance in the 75-250' lakeshore setback for a new <br /> residence on a vacant lot. Bressler displayed the survey noting the house and loop <br /> driveway location. Hardcover was previously proposed at 32%in the 75-250' setback and <br /> is currently proposed at 29.4%. A 2-car garage in being proposed in the 250-500' <br /> setback, ahead of the principal structure, which is allowed on the lakeshore lot. <br /> Stormwater detention ponds are being proposed, which the applicant believes is adequate <br /> to mitigate the additional hardcover. Bressler indicated that the applicant would like to <br /> continue with the proposed ponds even if the hardcover variance is denied. Bressler said <br /> staff believes the pond will reduce runoff through a natural swale and supports the <br /> ponding proposal. A grade level deck is proposed that will not encroach the average <br /> lakeshore setback; such a deck is considered a non-encroachment. A proposed spa is <br /> planned behind the average lakeshore setback. <br /> 20 <br />
