MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> Monday,July 20,2020 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> the entrance from the second landing up the four steps which does not leave the landing to come around <br /> the turn, so they have to make the basement access straight. Instead of wrapping around the corner, it will <br /> go straight up. <br /> Bollis said he was wondering if the existing access could still be accessed but it sounds like it cannot be <br /> with the addition. <br /> McCutcheon said the addition parallels the original lines of the 100-year-old house. The Applicants could <br /> have extended the line all the way to the garage, and they did not. <br /> McCutcheon moved,Gettman seconded,to approve LA20-000042 Lake Country Builders o/b/o <br /> Ronald and Holly Rocca,2520 Casco Point Road,Variance.VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 1 (Kirchner). <br /> 3. LA20-000044 GOOD SHEPHERD LUTHERAN CHURCH,3745 SHORELINE DRIVE, <br /> CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AMENDMENT- 6:27 P.M. - 6:34 P.M. <br /> Pastor Loren Davis,Applicant, was present. <br /> Staff presented a summary of packet information. <br /> Ressler noted all the proposed sites are in compliance with setback; it is an amendment because of the <br /> accessory buildings being added. <br /> Oakden agreed and said a Conditional Use Permit(CUP)amendment is required when new buildings are <br /> added because it operates as a CUP and has to go through the public process. They are proposing to meet <br /> all the setbacks. The sheds will be 68 feet from the property line where 50 feet is required. They will be at <br /> least 35 feet from the wetland where 25 feet is required. <br /> Pastor Loren Davis, Good Shepherd Lutheran Church,3745 Shoreline Drive, noted the process started 2- <br /> 3 years ago. They had a plan to expand the kitchen area which was built in 1959.The proposal would <br /> have added an 18x24 space to the south end of the current building and put a kitchen on the upper floor <br /> with a handicap-accessible restroom and an office and storage for the daycare. When that turned out to be <br /> cost-prohibitive,they went back to the drawing board and are in the process of remodeling the current <br /> kitchen. As that project developed,they created a space for a handicap bathroom upstairs, an office <br /> downstairs, but they lost storage space in the process. The idea is to have a garage at the south corner of <br /> the parking lot,which will be the same 18x24 space, which would be for storage of riding lawn mowers, <br /> snowblowers,and other necessary lawn care equipment. Shoreline has bikes and trikes for their kids <br /> which used to be stored under steps in the church building that are gone, so those items would be stored in <br /> the 18x24 space as well as seasonal items. He indicated the Peace Garden at the south end of the complex <br /> is at a higher level, and the people who care for that have wanted their equipment on the same level so <br /> they want to replace one 8x10 shed with another one on that level. <br /> Chair Ressler opened the public hearing at 6:33 p.m. <br /> There were no public comments relating to this application. <br /> Chair Ressler closed the public hearing at 6:33 p.m. <br /> Page 5 of 19 <br />
