MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> October 19,2020 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> Barnhart replied the Council was careful not to redesign the project for the Applicant,but they held fast to <br /> the practical difficulties. In discussion,they said to meet building code and meet the same roof pitch the <br /> Applicant will need bigger rafters;the Applicant was advised to review the drawing and come back for <br /> further consideration. <br /> Kirchner asked if they are talking about the garage that was going to go vertical and would then have an <br /> encroachment. <br /> Mayor Dennis Walsh took the podium and clarified the City Council told the Applicant they could <br /> support a variance because by having to take the current roof off,as it is not to code,they would need <br /> bigger rafters. For example,they would need 2x12 framing rather than 2x6 and the Council would give a <br /> variance for that because that would be a practical difficulty. The Applicant said he would go back and <br /> speak to the client about it. <br /> ADJOURNMENT <br /> Gettman moved,Bollis seconded,to adjourn the Planning Commission Meeting.
