MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEE11NG <br />Moaday, Jaac 13,200S <br />7:00 o’clock p.ai. <br />(Jack aad Karl Oltoa, Coatlaaed) <br />Peterson stated the applicant is looking for direction on whether this concept would be approved by the <br />City. <br />White stated they are not able to approve something that the Planning Commission has not reviewed. <br />Oaffion stated Staff and the applicant were looking to see whether the Council would be opposed to the <br />long structure rather than two Imildings. <br />Moorse stated it appears that dw Council is fine with attaching the garage but that they would prefer to <br />have some input from the Planning Commission and whether the amount of suiictural coverage should be <br />reduced. <br />Murphy pointed out the applicant’s detached garage was approved and that he does have the option of <br />bringing a new application before the Planning Commission to get their input on the new design. Murphy <br />indicated he would have trouble supporting the new proposal given the amount of massing on the lot. <br />Olson stated everyone he has spoken to have indicated that they prefer the garage attached due to <br />appearance and the fact that thm would be water runoff between the two structures. Olson stated he <br />would like to know whether this proposal is a viable option. <br />White stated if the applicants can meet the IS percent structural coverage, it probably would be approved. <br />White suggested the applicant speak with Staff and with his builder to see whether some modifications <br />could be made to the plan in or^ to comply with the IS percent. <br />Murphy stated if the ten feet difference between the two is the kitchen and the bathroom, it might not be <br />worAit. <br />Olson stated it is not an n for him to relocate the kitchen and bathroom. <br />Gaffion stated the roofline for the detached garage would match the roofline for the house. <br />Murphy stated the garage could be turned the other way to achieve the look of two different buildings. <br />Peterson suggested the applicant speak with Staff further on this proposal, but that she has an issue with <br />the appetfance of massing on the lot if the garage is attached. <br />White indicated he prefers the attached garage rather than two separate structures. <br />The City Council took no formal action on this item. <br />PAGE 13
