ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> MINUTES FOR FEBRUARY 16, 1999 <br /> • Van Zomeren said the plan was submitted to Tom Kellogg, the City Engineer. He said to make sure <br /> silt control fences are used. The City Engineer's first review did not flag any major concerns. <br /> Mabusth asked if the surveyor has confirmed that there is no average lakeshore setback problem. <br /> Van Zomeren said yes. <br /> Hawn asked if the applicants have looked at reducing the structural coverage by 40 square feet. <br /> David Lindberg said they are willing to reduce the structural coverage. <br /> McMillan questioned the detached garage. <br /> Lindberg said an attached garage would require a larger driveway and additional grading. <br /> McMillan suggested repositioning the garage in order to reduce the slope and improve safety. <br /> Mabusth questioned why the O'Keefe application was so much lower in hardcover in the 75'-250' <br /> setback. <br /> Lindberg said the O'Keefe's had more driveway and a smaller garage. <br /> Mabusth asked how the other commission members felt about the hardcover in the 75'-250'setback. <br /> Hawn said this is a difficult site. She would like to see the structural coverage reduced by 40 square <br /> feet. <br /> liMabusth asked staff to review the variances that would be needed with the current plan. <br /> Van Zomeren said they would need a variance for the 0'-75' setback on the south side, a variance in <br /> the 75'-250' setback to allow 33%where 25% is allowed, a conditional use permit for grading within <br /> five feet of the property line and restoration of the topography. <br /> McMillan asked about the O'Keefe's plan and what the amount of hardcover was in the 75'-250'. <br /> Van Zomeren said it was 5,725 square feet. <br /> Mabusth asked if the garage design would match the house. <br /> Lindberg said the garage would match the house. <br /> Mabusth said the Commission would have a problem approving 33% hardcover in the 75'-250' <br /> setback. She asked about the hardcover that would result from the porches. <br /> Van Zomeren reviewed the square footage of the hardcover. She said they would need to reduce <br /> 1,000 square feet to meet the 25% requirement. <br /> Hawn recommended that the applicants reduce the size of the porches. <br /> Mabusth suggested that the applicants work with staff to reduce the amount of hardcover. <br /> McMillan said the hardcover for the driveway in the 0'-75' is a necessity. She wants to make sure the <br /> driveway is safe. In the 75'-250', she is inclined to approve something similar to the O'Keefe <br /> IIIapplication. <br /> Page 9 <br />
