MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, June 18, 2018 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />6. LA18-000057 CITY OF ORONO, TEXT AMENDMENT — ACCESSORY STRUCTURES <br />SETBACK, 8:07 P.M. — 8:22 P.M. — Continued <br />district, that would transfer into an actual table and numbers so the user would find all their appropriate <br />requirements in one spot. <br />Curtis asked if the City has an issue with the actual numbers or whether it would be more for clarification. <br />Barnhart stated it is more clarification of how those numbers are applied. <br />Thiesse commented this would be a wonderful way to put it together and that it would be easier to follow. <br />Barnhart stated he does not see the numbers as being a major issue but the challenge has been determining <br />what the setback is for a lakeshore lot and what that same building setback is for a lot not on the lake. <br />Barnhart stated he wants to look at what is an appropriate location for an accessory building and then put <br />an ordinance together that satisfies that appropriateness. <br />Curtis stated a 760 -foot garage is different than a 760 foot shed on a lakeshore lot because from a <br />regulation standpoint a garage is allowed to be closer to the rear setback line than a shed. <br />Libby stated by simplifying this, it would also be better for the Planning Commission and that in his view <br />Staff is on track for making it simpler. <br />Thiesse commented he likes the direction Staff is going with this. <br />Barnhart stated he will come back with an actual version of an ordinance likely in July and continue to <br />iron out the details. <br />Chair Thiesse opened the public hearing at 8:21 p.m. <br />There were no public comments relating to this application. <br />Chair Thiesse closed the public hearing at 8:21 p.m. <br />The Planning Commission took no formal action on this item. <br />7.
