Draft PC Minutes - May 2005 <br />Application Summary: <br />The applicants’ property is located on Tanager Lake. Tanager Lake is classified by the DNR as a <br />Recreational Development Lake; within the Shoreland Management section of Orono’s Zoning Code <br />it is stipulated that a Recreational Development Lake requires a 100’ structure setback for properties <br />with on-site septic systems. The applicants would like to construct a window dormer for added space <br />and safety in an existing 2** story bathroom. As the entire home is located within the 100’ structure <br />setback, any building envelope expansion requires a lake setback variance. Additionally, the <br />applicants would like to construct a small garage addition to the north of their attached garage. <br />At the recommendation of two Planning Commission members the applicants have reduced the size of <br />the proposed garage and proposed additional hardcover removals. <br />Planning Commission Recommendation <br />On May 16,2005, Planning Commission voted 4 - 2 to recommend approval of the lake setback <br />variance in order to construct a 2”* story dormer but recommended denial of the lake setback and <br />hardcover variances in order to construct the garage addition. The dissenting Commissioners stated <br />they would be in favor of a smaller garage addition with additional hardcover removals. <br />j ■
