MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, June 16,2003 <br />6:00 o’clock p.m. <br />Boder read definitions of demolition and destroying, which did not match the restoration <br />effort they were involved in. He reiterated that it would be inaccurate to call this a new <br />foundation, and place the boathouse on the mud, since the boathouse never sat on the mud <br />in the past and should not be required to do so now. Boder cited letters from neighbors in <br />support of the application and stated that it was difficult to even locate where the sightlines <br />of the owner who had objected were in the first place. <br />Chair Smith asked whether the posts and beams were old or new. <br />Boder stated the material was old material and merely new brackets and bolts were used to <br />support the material. <br />McGlynn explained that the builder had to move the boathouse from the foundation in <br />order to place the sheeting. He pointed out that the builder refu.«ed to put his workers at <br />risk working with power tools in the water for safety sake. <br />Chair Smith asked if the intent was always to put the boathouse back and whether anything <br />was done differently than originally presented. <br />Boder indicated that the building was the same size and windows were added as allowed <br />by the original plans. <br />Rahn asked why the dimensions differed on the survey from 20X12* to 14X12*. <br />Boder explained that the survey reflected the post dimensions and that the two northerly <br />posts were pulled out entirely, and the building would be cantilevered out. <br />Bremer maintained that, if the City Attorney has made the statement that it is okay to put <br />the boathouse back on its original foundation and maintain its grandfathered status, and <br />Lyle Oman has said it is the original foundation, then the point is moot and she would be in <br />PAGE 26 of 31
