MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> Monday,May 18,2020 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> Barnhart said he thought it was appropriate to break up the application as proposed. They can respond to <br /> the hardcover variance in terms of the increase and also respond to the building addition. He had no issue <br /> with what has been done so far. <br /> Ressler asked if the Staff feedback included that the hardcover would be where the proposed addition is, <br /> or is it just where the proposed drive is along with removal of the unpermitted hardcover. He asked both <br /> Barnhart and Erickson to clarify. <br /> Barnhart said he would defer the hardcover location question to Curtis. <br /> Curtis stated the Staff recommendation for the hardcover would basically be what they have proposed for <br /> the driveway and garage but no building.They could park next to the existing garage or store something <br /> next to the existing garage on a paved surface but not have a building there. <br /> Ressler, referring to a drawing, asked if the proposed addition would be replaced from structure to <br /> proposed drive as an extension for that same platting. <br /> Curtis said if that configuration works for the applicants. She reiterated Staff has not reached back out to <br /> them but that is Staffs recommendation,to allow for an additional drive and parking area in conjunction <br /> with removal of the illegal hardcover. <br /> Ressler noted they would probably have to turn it back to the applicant to comment on that. He asked <br /> Staff to clarify that if the applicants would like to continue on with their application as applied as well, <br /> that it doesn't impact their agreement. <br /> Curtis said she believed the Commission could make a recommendation and the applicant can continue on <br /> to the City Council with their request as-is and with the Commission's recommendation.The City <br /> Council can vet the rest of it themselves. <br /> Ressler clarified that it was whether one,both,or none were approved. <br /> Curtis agreed with Ressler. She stated she thinks the Commissioners'comments and recommendations are <br /> important. <br /> Ressler stated he would agree that it would be reasonable to add as a hardcover where the proposed <br /> addition is, as he mentioned in his previous comments. He asked Erickson to clarify if that was what he <br /> was proposing as well. <br /> Erickson said that Ressler was correct. He noted his motion is intended to mirror what Curtis described as <br /> the Staff recommendation. <br /> Ressler asked if McCutcheon's second remained. <br /> McCutcheon stated when Erickson first said he was in line with Staff recommendations,that is what he <br /> was thinking,too. <br /> Libby stated he agrees with McCutcheon and Erickson and the motion seemed to mirror Staffs <br /> recommendation. <br /> Page 16 of 29 <br />
