MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> Monday, September 16,2019 <br /> 6:30 p.m. <br /> away from the adjoining property. The two buildings that are close to the property line are five feet and <br /> eight feet away. The closest point of the new residence would be 17 feet. The foremost portion of the <br /> porch would be 59 feet away from the side setback. The new house will be the same distance from the <br /> lake as the current house. The existing home and the two buildings will be removed. <br /> Ressler asked if there is an illustration of the average lakeshore setback. <br /> Curtis pointed out the average lakeshore setback line. <br /> Mark Ties stated they attempted to fit the new house in as best as they could and that they are trying to be <br /> as accommodating as possible. Staff visited the property and they pointed out what trees in the area are <br /> dead and can be removed. <br /> Kristie Ties stated the goal is to be where the current house is and not to block anyone's views. <br /> Ressler stated by going in the middle of the two buildings,they will be softening the impact to the <br /> neighbors. <br /> Alexander stated after looking at this today and after speaking with one of the neighbors, it was suggested <br /> that they shift the house a little bit further, which they will try to do. That property owner currently can <br /> see over the boathouse. <br /> Kristie Ties stated today was the first time she stood on Stacy Marks' deck and currently the entire <br /> boathouse is visible. Ms. Marks requested they spin the house or move it back a couple of feet so she <br /> maintains her view of the entire boathouse. <br /> Thiesse asked if they are amenable to that. <br /> Kristie Ties indicated they are. <br /> Ressler asked if there is anything in writing to that effect. <br /> Alexander stated the only thing she has is the survey. <br /> Kristie Ties noted the red line shows the neighbor's view of the boathouse. The proposed house cuts off a <br /> corner of the deck and they can spin it or move it back slightly to protect that sight view. <br /> Ressler noted the Planning Commission does not have the exact distance of the new residence given the <br /> change. <br /> Bollis asked if that would impact the side setbacks at all. <br /> Kristie Ties stated she does not believe so, but until she can get a surveyor out there, she does not have <br /> the exact measurements. <br /> Curtis noted they have room to move on either side of the lot line. <br /> Kristie Ties stated there is a tree on the other side that they were trying to stay away from. <br /> Page 4 of 24 <br />
