-zrrrTZTT-r-T-r- MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COM>nSSION MEETING Monday, September 20, 2004 6:00 o’clock p.m. (</04-3052 Eric Vogslrom, Continued) Vogstrom inquired whether the Planning Commission would allow the 10-foot side street setback gi\en the fact that the fire lane is heavily wooded and not used. Jurgens requested the property markers near the street be delineated. Leslie stated the applicant will need to make the decision on how to reduce the hardcover, and that the encroachment may be reduced once the hardcover is reduced. Leslie indicated it is impossible to say definitely whether the encroachment would be allowed given the fact that the plans need to be revised. Rahn stated the Planning Commission needs to look at the plans overall, and recommended the applicant continue working with staff to reduce the amount of proposed hardcover. Leslie indicated it appears likely that there may be some variance granted for hardcover given the restnctions of the lot, but that the applicant needs to take steps to reduce the hardcover down to something that is more reasonable for the lot. Kempf stated he generally is in favor of setback variances that have no negative impact on the neighbors. Rahn reiterated the Planning Commission needs to look at the plans as a wnole, and inquired whether the applicant would like to trble his application. Vogstrom rcqucslcd his application be tabled. Rahn moved, Leslie seconded, to table Application #04-3052, Eric Vogstrom. 2618 Casco Point Road, to allow the applicant time to revise his plans.
