MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> Monday,July 19,2021 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> Ressler is in support of the application and Staffs recommendations. They have seen other examples of <br /> applications like this that have been positively received by the City Council. <br /> Kirchner echoes those statements. <br /> Bollis is generally in favor but would like to note that in the previous applications the other house that <br /> could be built closer was extremely far back, so this is a little different. If they allow this house to go <br /> another two feet closer,that will change the ALS for the next house over more than it is today—and then <br /> that house can go two feet closer—which will change the next house and the next house. In general,he is <br /> not in favor of the ALS line at all as this will trigger a domino effect down the line. He would be in favor <br /> of the application. <br /> Gettman asked to pull up Exhibit G on screen and noted how much farther down the house ends up going <br /> or extending towards the lake. <br /> Curtis pointed out the homes on screen and noted the impact of the deck extension is kind of minimal as it <br /> is an angle across one direction rather than another. <br /> Bollis noted it would affect the ALS for 4515 and asked if that is correct. <br /> Curtis replied yes. <br /> Ressler said 4595 already has quite a bit of structure going lakeward so that is not a giant difference and <br /> adding that two feet does not appear that it would make a major change because of how much 4595 brings <br /> it lakeward. That is the reason it does not seem like a big deal to him. <br /> McCutcheon agrees with Ressler;the Commission has seen these before and he understands the practical <br /> difficulty to the house to the left and he noted it is not egregious as they are not asking the entire length of <br /> the house. <br /> Erickson supports the Staff recommendation. <br /> Ressler moved,Bollis seconded,to approve LA21-000045 Revision LLC,4535 North Shore Drive, <br /> Requests an Average Lakeshore Setback Variance in Order to Construct a 47 Square Foot <br /> Addition to the Existing Deck as Applied.VOTE: Ayes: 6,Nays 0. <br /> 3.LA20-000047 MATCOM O/B/O CAMP TEKO,645 TONKAWA ROAD,REQUESTS <br /> HARDCOVER,LAKE AND AVERAGE LAKESHORE SETBACK VARIANCES TO PERMIT <br /> RECONSTRUCTION OF AN EXPANDED BOAT STORAGE BUILDING WITHIN THE 75- <br /> FOOT SETBACK.(STAFF: MELANIE CURTIS) <br /> Mark Matasovsky of Matcom o/b/o the property owner,was present. <br /> Staff presented a summary packet of information. Curtis stated Camp TEKO has been operating on the <br /> property at 645 Tonkawa since 1965. In 2019,they submitted a Master Plan showing a number of desired <br /> future improvements, including new buildings and a new trail network. The owner is working with a new <br /> architectural firm and the boat building,which is the subject of this current application,was not part of <br /> the original Master Plan approval,nor was it shown on the plan.
