MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, October 18,2004 <br />6:00 o’clock p.m. <br />Rahn stated he would not be in favor of any encroachment into the right-of-way. Rahn commented the <br />Planning Commission does not have the time to discuss the applicant’s various options concerning <br />design of the garage and residence but that the applicant needs to make those design decisions. Rahn <br />noted the Planning Commission has denied the application and that this matter would go before the <br />Council. <br />Bremer inquired whether denial of the average lakeshore setback variance was also included in the <br />motion. <br />Jurgens indicated the motion was to deny the entire application. <br />Bremer slated she would have been in favor of granting the average lakeshore setback variance but <br />that the hardcover needs to be reduced on this lot. Bremer indicated she would be willing to consider <br />hardcover in the higher 20’s since there is a lot of lakeshore on this property and that there are some <br />circumstances where that could be considered a hardship. Bremer noted she is not in favor of the side <br />yard setback variance. <br />Vogstrom noted the existing 27 percent hardcover on this lot does not include a driveway. <br />Rahn noted this application would move forward to the Council, and suggested the applicant consider <br />revising his plans in an effort to further reduce the hardcover prior to the City Council meeting. <br />lifci
