MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday, November 18,2042 6:30 o’clock p.m. Rahn stated that this would be easy enough to confinn after the City has looked at the pennit record description. Manley stated that if the City were willing to allow him to keep his small west lakeside deck he would reapply through the variance process. Hawn stated that the west lakeside deck would fall within the 0-75 ’ setback, which if he came before the Commission for approval, she suspected they would be reluctant to grant. She was hopeful that things could be determined based on previous applications. Manley reminded the Commission that the home possessed a huge deck on the lakeside of the residence before his remodel. Manley stated that one way or another he would like the Commission to give him a decision this evening. He asked them to make a decision based on what was in front of them in order for him to move on to City Council. Chair Smith stated that the Planning Commission could, indeed, act on what was in front of them, and not table the application if the applicant so chose, although she was hesitant to do so. Bremer suggested the Commission finish their discussion so that the City Council, atileast, would have enough information and direction from this evening to base their decision. Once again, Rahn was hesitant to discuss specific hardcover issues without concrete numbers. Manley stated that he wished for riprap to restore the shoreline and a 3:1 slope to proude a mere path to his boat. He thanked City staff and consultant Gustafson for their helpfulness.
