MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday. August 18,2003 6:00 o’clock p.m. (#9 903-2928 MICHAEL R. MISCHKE, CooliBned) Chitf Smith stated that she could support encroaching ftmher into the driveway area to obtain a greater side yard setback. Hawn stated that she was opposed to a rock walkway to the front door, since as Fritzler has pointed out on many occasions, the walkway is often resurfaced after the first year. Mischke asked what the Commission would suggest instead of rock. Gaffion suggested the applicant reconsider where the main entry should be placed. Hai^ indicated that she would be receptive to or prefer allowing a wooden slat walkway, in lieu of the rocks, as a better way to access the front door.
