MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />Monday, May 20, 2019 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />4. LA18-000057 CITY OF ORONO, TEXT AMENDMENT RELATED TO PLUMBING IN <br />ACCESSORY BUILDINGS, 8:20 P.M. — 8:27 P.M. <br />Curtis noted in December the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 222 and Summary Ordinance No. 223 <br />regarding changes to the regulations relating to accessory buildings and accessory structures. This was a <br />comprehensive amendment meant to capture all of the language changes/edits Staff determined necessary <br />as well as provide a thoughtful revision to the required setbacks of both accessory buildings and accessory <br />structures. <br />The requirement for the building to be "conforming with respect to location, size, and height" was <br />intended to be removed from each of the conditional use sections of the preceding sections to be replaced <br />with the language outlined in Staff's report. <br />The amendment would affect those changes as originally anticipated as well as remove the current <br />conflict and ambiguity in the Code. <br />To date, no public comments have been received. <br />Chair Ressler opened the public hearing at 8:23 p.m. <br />There were no public comments regarding this application. <br />Chair Ressler closed the public hearing at 8:23 p.m. <br />McCutcheon indicated he would be in support of the application. <br />Erickson stated he is not sure of the application given the amount of paperwork concerning accessory <br />buildings. <br />Curtis noted Staff is only requesting the one change tonight. <br />Ressler asked if the change would be a simplification of the ordinance. <br />Curtis stated Staff is asking that words be deleted that were intended to be deleted the first time around <br />but were missed. <br />Bollis indicated he is fine with the changes. <br />Gettman indicated he has no issues with the request. <br />Thiesse stated he is fine with the request. <br />Libby stated he is fine with the change. <br />Ressler stated the City is trying to simplify the ordinance and that he is in support of it. <br />Gettman moved, Bollis seconded, to recommend approval of Application No. LA19-000057, City of <br />Orono, Text Amendment Related to Plumbing in Accessory Buildings.
