MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMNUSSION MEETING <br />Monday, October 18,2004 <br />6:00 o’clock p.ni. <br />garage. Vogstrom noted the current residence is also located on the property line, which makes it <br />nonconforming, and the amount of hardcover on the lot is also being reduced with his proposal from <br />what currently exists. <br />Winkey inquired what impact a reduction to 25 percent hardcover would have on the design of the <br />house. <br />Vogstrom stated he is better off going with the 1500 square foot footprint plus a small amount for a <br />driveway and a sidewalk, which would bring the hardcover to around 30 percent. <br />Fritzler commented that in his view the size of the lot should give the applicant an adequate building <br />pad and that he would be opposed to granting any variances. Fritzler stated he would like to see the <br />hardcover reduced to 25 percent. <br />Jurgens stated based on the time limits, he would like to make a motion denying the application. <br />Jurgens moved, Leslie seconded, to recommend denial of Application t^04-3052, Eric Vogstrom, <br />2618 Casco Point Road. <br />Rahn noted the applicant does have the ability to sign an agreement extending the 60 days. <br />Bremer stated she does not feel the Planning Commission should make a motion based solely on the <br />fact that the 60-day time limit is about to expire. <br />Jurgens stated in his view the hardcover should be reduced to 25 percent and that there is no need to <br />grant any variances based on the size of the building pad. <br />VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 2, Rahn and Bremer opposed. <br />Rahn stated he believes the applicant should be given the opportunity to revise his plans again but that <br />he is in agreement that the hardcover be reduced. <br />Vogstrom inquired whether he could utilize an end-loading garage. <br />Jurgens stated the applicant does have that option but that a new application would need to be <br />submitted. <br />PAGES <br />1
