MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> Monday,June 17,2019 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> To date no public comments have been received. <br /> Planning Staff recommends approval. <br /> Curtis displayed an aerial photograph of the lot,noting that the lot is narrow or shallow. <br /> Thiesse asked if the 100-foot setback for a structure was put in place to also prevent drain fields from <br /> being within that setback as well. <br /> Curtis stated she is not sure if that is true or not. <br /> Erickson asked whether there is a municipal sewer line in Spring Hill Road. <br /> Curtis stated there does not appear to be. <br /> Doepke asked if the addition will come out from the house toward the lake. <br /> Ressler stated that would probably be better answered by the applicant. <br /> Bollis asked what the rear yard setback is. <br /> Curtis indicated it is 50 feet. <br /> Greg Krause, Vujovich Design-Build, stated this is an interesting lot,thin and narrow, and that they are <br /> looking at doing a single-car garage addition on the southwest corner of the home. A roof deck will <br /> extend on top of that creating additional outdoor space. The resident will be turning 86 years old this <br /> summer and they are looking to create an easy to access outdoor space. <br /> Doepke asked if the deck is going across the front of the garage. <br /> Krause indicated that is correct. <br /> Doepke asked why they cannot extend the garage to the west in an amount sufficient to be outside the <br /> setback. <br /> Krause stated they did explore different shapes of the garage and different locations, but what might look <br /> fine on an elevation view does not always work with the elevation. The architectural intent is to keep the <br /> the rhythm of some of the larger stone columns on the outside of the home. <br /> Thiesse stated the driveway would also not be very conducive to making the turn if it is pulled forward. <br /> Libby asked what the cost differential would be building a two-car garage straight out from the existing <br /> garage. <br /> Krause stated there are a couple of issues with that, and one is the turn-around. The other issue is that it is <br /> very expensive, and this is one of those cases where the garage is unique and there are complications due <br /> to integrating it into the existing roof. <br /> Page 23 of 24 <br />
