ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MONDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1998 • (#2395 Brent Bentrott, continued) Chair Smith inquired when the Applicants were planning on commencing construction. Bentrott stated they had wanted a fall start date but have pushed it back to the spring. Chair Smith suggested putting this item on the November agenda to allow the Applicants time to submit a detailed drainage plan and less fill required. Bentrott inquired whether the Planning Commission could approve the application subject to the submittal of a drainage and grading plan. Schroeder stated an acceptable drainage plan needs to be submitted before approval can be given. Van Zomeren stated the steepness of the driveway also should be addressed. Stoddard suggested approving the side yard and hardcover variances subject to the submittal and approval by City Staff of a grading and drainage plan. Lindquist inquired whether the Planning Commission was in favor granting the variances. It was the concensus of the Planning Commission that they might look favorably upon the variances subject to an acceptable grading and drainage plan. Schroeder moved to approve Application #2395, 1453 Park Drive, granting of variances to 411 side yard adjacent to street to allow a new deck and porch to be located one foot from the property line, a side yard adjacent to street variance to allow a new garage to be located eight feet from the property line, a variance to the hardcover requirements in the 75-250' setback as outlined in the Planner's Report dated October 14, 1998, subject to the submittal and approval of a drainage and grading plan before commencement of construction. MOTION DIED DUE TO LACK OF A SECOND. Van Zomeren noted an extension will be required because the 60 days expires November 8th. Schroeder suggested tabling the item since notification has not been given for the conditional use permit. Schroeder withdrew his motion pending submittal of a grading and drainage plan. Van Zomeren stated the variances are part of the old application. Schroeder suggested submitting a new application for the variances as well as inclusion of the request for a conditional use permit. Chair Smith stated it was the concensus of the Planning Commission that the variances will be approved subject to the submittal of an acceptable drainage and grading plan. Smith moved, Schroeder seconded, to table Application #2395, 1453 Park Drive,to allow the Applicants time to submit a drainage and grading plan. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0.
