- , <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> MONDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1998 <br /> (#2410 Peter Boynton, continued) <br /> hardcover in the 0-75' setback and 75-250'setback, a variance to the structural lot coverage, and a <br /> height variance. A conditional use permit is also required to allow for any grading in the 0-75' <br /> setback. <br /> Van Zomeren stated the proposed hardcover in the 0-75'setback is 1,054 square feet or 17.9 <br /> percent where 1,258 square feet is currently existing. The revised plan is also proposing hardcover <br /> of 29.64 percent where 32.9 percent is currently existing. This application should be <br /> treated as a complete tear down and should meet all required code provisions. <br /> Van Zomeren noted the Applicant was advised at the previous meeting to limit structural coverage <br /> to 1,500 square feet and to minimize the need for setback variances, which the proposed plan does <br /> not comply with. <br /> Chair Smith inquired whether the new plan is proposing to go up with the new structure. <br /> Van Zomeren replied the proposed structure does exceed the standard height requirements. <br /> Boynton stated they are attempting to design something that will fit over the old building pad. <br /> Boynton commented the existing foundation is not suitable and the house is deteriorating. <br /> Boynton's builder stated the street is lower than the existing residence. <br /> Schroeder inquired when the property was purchased. <br /> • Boynton stated they purchased the property three years ago with the intention of remodeling the <br /> existing structure. <br /> Van Zomeren stated the Applicant has discussed the height of the proposed structure with Staff <br /> which requires a variance to the height requirement. <br /> Boynton stated the proposed structure is 30 feet higher than the road without the ten feet credit for <br /> the elevation of the street. <br /> Lindquist stated he does not have a problem with the height of the structure, but noted the proposed <br /> structure should comply with the structural coverage limit. <br /> Boynton stated they are attempting to utilize the same building pad because a neighbor had <br /> expressed concerns about the house being located further back. <br /> Chair Smith inquired whether there were any public comments concerning this application. <br /> Boynton commented they are attempting to comply with the requirements as much as possible. <br /> Chair Smith stated some variances will be needed, noting the structure could be constructed to <br /> lessen some of the variances. <br /> Tom Mortenson, 1971 Fagerness Point Road, stated he has spoken with Mr. Boynton about the <br /> proposed structure. Mortenson commented he has a problem with the height of the structure, noting <br /> the Applicant is proposing to construct a 40 foot wall six feet from the lot line which will block his <br /> view considerably. <br /> • <br /> Page 3 <br />
