IMINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, November 15,2004 <br />6:00 o ’clock p.m. <br />effort to reduce the size of the driveway and the amount of hardcover being proposed. Leslie indicated he <br />does not feel a three-car garage is essential. <br />Winkey inquired what the square footage is of the proposed driveway. <br />Curtis stated it is 690 square feet. <br />Winkey noted if a driveway similar to the current driveway were to be constructed, the hardcover would <br />be approximately 2,600, 2,700 square feet. <br />Vogstrom stated he does own three cars and would like to build a home that is marketable in today's <br />world. Vogstrom stated a three-car garage is standard nowadays. Vogstrom noted the floor plan is less <br />than 1100 square feet and that in his opinion he is not able to reduce the hardcover any further. Vogstrom <br />indicated he does not plan to increa.se the hardcover in the future since he has accounted for a deck and <br />other items in the current design. <br />JetTILssen, 2648 Casco Point Road, noted he was pre.sent at the first Planning Commission meeting where <br />he expressed some concerns regarding drainage and off-street parking. Essen stated the street is rather <br />narrow and the traffic goes through that area quite fast. Essen indicated he would not be opposed to <br />granting some additional hardcover to accommodate parking on the lot rather than the street. <br />Paul Raster, 2600 Casco Point Road, stated the exi.sting driveway exi.sls totally in the fire lane, and <br />questioned why the Planning Commission would take that piece of property and grant it as hardcover to <br />the lot. Raster stated the portion of the driveway that is located in the fire lane is a large section. Raster <br />slated that i.s not part of the property and should not be included in the area used to determine the <br />appropriate hardcover. <br />Rahn noted there i.s a large amount of hardcover in the fire lane, but indicated to his understanding the <br />Planning Commission is not swapping that same square footage and allowing it on this property. <br />Raster inquired how much of the hardcover in the fire lane is being granted to the lot. <br />Bremer indicated zero. <br />pa<;e 3 <br />!|
