ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> MINUTES FOR JANUARY 19, 1999 <br /> • There were no public comments. <br /> Schroeder asked how the hardcover would be reduced. <br /> Bichanich responded that most of it is related to the existing driveway and the rest is mostly <br /> landscaping, such as pavers and railroad ties. <br /> McMillan asked if the old garage would be retained. <br /> Bichanich stated that the old garage will be used as a workshop and not for vehicles. The old driveway <br /> is very steep and will be landscaped for gardens. <br /> Ray stated that one of the reasons for the addition of the new garage is that access to the existing <br /> garage is very difficult for a vehicle and they will not use the old garage for parking vehicles. <br /> Stoddard stated he can approve the proposal. <br /> McMillan stated the addition fits in very well with the contour of the house. <br /> McMillan moved, Stoddard seconded, a motion to approve Application#2448 for Doug Carlson <br /> and Catherine Ray, 780 North Arm Drive for Top of Bluff and Average Lakeshore Setback <br /> Variances.VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br /> (#9)#2451 LYLE AND GRETCHEN SHAW, 1750 SHADYWOOD ROAD,VARIANCES, 10:00 p.m. - <br /> 10:15 p.m. <br /> • Weinberger presented the staff report.
