MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, November 18, 2019 <br />6:30 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 37 of 46 <br /> <br />Mr. Hueler said he and the architect were looking at the front of the garage and there is an inset on the <br />door, so for structural hardcover it is not inside but it's the piece that sticks out from the garage so the <br />door is not flush. <br /> <br />Mr. Bieker clarified there is a slight amount of calculated structural that probably was not there. <br /> <br />Mr. Hueler stated the structural hardcover was calculated to the end of the garage. His neighbors' homes <br />are 20 feet from the street and this will be 26.4 feet from the street. On the lake side, one of his neighbors <br />is 68 feet on the side that has the 3-foot lot line, and the Walsh home is around 70. He is 75 feet in, well <br />within the visual setback. If he was trying to go for the sight-line setback, the street side of the home <br />would comply. <br /> <br />Gettman asked if the neighbors' garages were all 3-car garages. <br /> <br />Mr. Hueler stated they are not. On the 35-foot lot they were able to fit a 2-car garage. The Walshes have a <br />2-car garage with a 3-car parking area in front of it. His lot is wider than both of his neighbors' lots. <br /> <br />Chair Ressler opened the public hearing at 10:06 p.m. <br /> <br />Patrick Walsh, 1390 Rest Point Road, said they have lived there 41 years and this is what they've been <br />waiting for. Somehow the previous owner built the garage and the house a foot off the property line. This <br />will change the neighborhood. He understands the Commission is debating whether it should be a 3-car or <br />2-car and it's easy to say make it a 2-car, but he does not think so. He has seen Hueler's plans; it is a tuck- <br />under garage. He needs the storage. He asked that there not be a grade build-up so there would not be <br />drainage in his yard. He is asking the Commission to vote for it at 22 percent. <br /> <br />Chair Ressler closed the public hearing at 10:08 p.m. <br /> <br />McCutcheon asked if the water would go onto the front and back of the lot from the gables. <br /> <br />Mr. Hueler indicated it would. <br /> <br />McCutcheon noted that was well thought out, that it wasn't dumping water onto the neighbors' properties. <br /> <br />Mr. Hueler said they designed the home partially with the neighbors' feedback in mind. They will be <br />dealing with the water onsite as opposed to running on neighbors' properties. <br /> <br />Ressler said he was looking at the example in the hardcover calculation worksheet when he thought the <br />garage was 24 by 30. He apologized if he made it more confusing. <br />
