MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> Monday,July 19,2021 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> falls into the same category.He understands the City not liking things within the 75 foot setback so he <br /> offered to go back 100 feet and not change anything other if they can just have this 86 feet of boathouse. <br /> Bollis understands the seasonal bridge and docks.He asked if this new proposed boat building would be <br /> ADA accessible, also. <br /> Mr. Matasovsky replied yes.He spoke with the MCWD and they are above the line so they do not need a <br /> permit.If one sees the lakeshore,they would not necessarily even know they were there as they keep a <br /> pretty low,quiet profile. <br /> Bollis asked with the new proposed building,if there was a camper down there in a wheelchair and they <br /> needed quick shelter one could wheel them into that building, and they would not be able to do that with <br /> the current building? <br /> Mr. Matasovsky replied yes.If the Commissioner saw the current building, it is hard to stand up in some <br /> spots right now. <br /> Gettman clarified if they kept the same footprint and just changed the building, it is the footprint that is <br /> the bigger concern for him. He actually lives right across the lake and he does hear,see,and smell all the <br /> different things every time the kids go out there.His concern is that it is sacred and with his comments on <br /> the previous Applicant,when one comes closer to the lake that is where the Commissioner's largest <br /> discussions come from because then everyone else is going to want to change and it is the domino effect. <br /> Gettman is still listening for practical difficulties because the camp could have motorized vehicles taking <br /> the kids up and down the hill and they would not have to store as much down there. He noted there are <br /> alternative ways. <br /> Mr. Matasovsky understands the concern with other homeowners coming in and saying they want a <br /> boathouse made into a home,etcetera,but they are not serving disabled or handicapped children under 2°d <br /> grade. <br /> Gettman asked if this camp is free for all children. <br /> Rabbi Zimmerman noted there are a lot of scholarships. <br /> Gettman asked if the camp is free for all children. <br /> Mr. Matasovsky replied not for all. <br /> Gettman stated as they were talking with the previous issue,public access is what they are referring to.He <br /> definitely appreciates it and he is not against children. So the Applicant is hearing it loud and clear,he <br /> stated they are looking at the overcoming practical difficulties for this. <br /> Ressler asked if the current versus proposed building is going any further lakeward than it is currently? <br /> Curtis replied no it is not. <br /> Ressler knows they have heard this application in the past and noted they are not going any further <br /> lakeward or increasing the size of the space and asked if that falls within building in-kind. <br /> Page 12 of 18 <br />
