MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PI.ANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Moaday, November 15,2004 <br />6:00 o’clock p.m. <br />GafTron stated that issue should be reserved for the City Council and perhaps in conjunction with the Park <br />Commission and the Public Works Department to determine what the function and potential use of the <br />fire lane is and whether the existing hardcover needs to be there to serve some public purpose. GafTron <br />stated the final decision concerning the driveway in the fire lane should be up to the City Council. <br />Essen Indicated he would not be opposed to shifiing the house five feet to the north and have a variance <br />granted in order to give more room to deal with the water runofi'on the south side of the house. <br />Vogstrom stated he also would prefer moving the house five feel to the north to avoid driving over tree <br />roots and to improve the grading situation. ^ ■ <br />Rahn noted Greg Gappa of the Public Works Department has been consulted with and has indicated he <br />did not want the house to encroach on the fire lane. Rahn stated he would prefer not to have to grant that <br />variance. <br />.. NT <br />Bremer inquired when this would appear before the City Council. <br />Curtis stated she was planning to have it ready for the next City Council meeting. <br />Rahn suggested the Council discu.ss the possible encroachment at their meeting since the Public Service <br />Director would be in attendance at that time. <br />Jurgens inquired whether the applicant was planning on having Spancrete in the garage to allow for an <br />area underneath the ganige. <br />Vogstrom stated he is not sure how he would be able to access that. <br />Jurgens noted If there were an area underneath the garage, a landing might be preferred. Jurgens <br />indicated he is in favor of hardcover at 35 percent. Jurgens staled he diK*s have concerns about people <br />buying substandard lots and then wanting to construct a new residence on it. Jurgens stated the <br />three-car garage and other features to this house are not a hardship. <br />Jurgens staled he has a concern with the lakeshore setback since the house could be angled a little more <br />and perhaps slightly reduced, which would eliminate the need for the average lakeshore setback.
