MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />Tuesday, January 19, 2021 <br />6:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />3. LA20-76 CHRIS MOE, 2425 THOROUGHBRED LANE, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT <br />(STAFF: LAURA OAKDEN) <br /> <br />Chris Moe, Applicant, was present. <br /> <br />Staff presented a summary packet of information. The Applicant wishes to install full bathroom facilities <br />in roughly a 1,500 square foot accessory building with a garage on their property which includes a <br />recreational space. A conditional use permit (CUP) is required due to the proposed shower. Staff is <br />recommending approval contingent upon the property owner’s agreement to filling out those covenants <br />with the four standards which they see often including it will not be used as home occupation, dwelling, <br />rented/leased, etcetera. The Applicant submitted a letter of support from the abutting neighbor. <br /> <br />Chair Ressler noted the City code does not allow short-term lease in its current code and asked if that is <br />correct. <br /> <br />Ms. Oakden replied that is correct. <br /> <br />Chair Ressler said that is one question that often comes up when there is an accessory building adding <br />plumbing and it is a little silly that it comes up every time someone adds a shower as that is really the <br />only trigger to this. Perhaps that is also something to consider rewriting the code for although he may <br />speak for himself. He has seen this a few times, he does not have any questions as it seems pretty <br />straightforward. <br /> <br />Chris Moe, 2425 Thoroughbred Lane, Applicant, approached the podium and welcomed questions. <br /> <br />There were no questions from the Planning Commission. <br /> <br />Chair Ressler opened the public hearing at 8:15 p.m. <br /> <br />There were no public comments regarding the application. <br /> <br />Chair Ressler closed the public hearing at 8:15 p.m. <br /> <br />Chair Ressler summarized and noted the Planning Commission has approved applications similar to this <br />in the past and he does not see a reason they would not approve this. He asked if the Planning <br />Commission agrees or disagrees. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission agreed. <br /> <br />Kirchner moved, Erickson seconded, to Approve LA 20-76, 2425 Thoroughbred Lane, Conditional <br />Use Permit as applied for with the four provisions recommended by Staff. VOTE: Ayes 6, Nays 0. <br />
