MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />Tuesday, January 19, 2021 <br />6:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br /> <br />discussion; it is in the building envelope so the main question here is the sightlines from the neighbors <br />and they did not submit any comments. He thinks the main thing is the neighbors being able to view the <br />lake and if they do not have an opinion on the matter, he thinks he would favor the Applicant for the <br />variance. <br /> <br />Kirchner related this one back to the garage or accessory structure where the roof trusses would go above <br />and beyond into the ALS the Planning Commission saw within the last 4-5 months. He distinctly <br />remembers the Applicant was asking for more than what the building code was requiring of those trusses; <br />in this case as demonstrated by the Applicant, the height of this is to satisfy the building code <br />requirements being a 10-foot distance away and a two-foot height from that ten-foot mark of other roofing <br />structures. Based on that, as well as McCutcheon’s statements, Kirchner would likely be supportive of it. <br /> <br />Chair Ressler agrees with Kirchner and that is where his line of questions came from: whether this was a <br />vanity choice or a necessity of function. It is unfortunate they are in the place they are in but when he <br />looks at whether he would have declined the application if this was in there in the first place, that is not <br />how they like to do it but it is a good validator for his conscience. He does not see any problem with it. <br /> <br />McCutcheon moved, Gettman seconded, to approve LA20-77, 2967 Casco Point Road, Variance as <br />applied. VOTE: Ayes 6, Nays 0. <br />
