MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday* Angntt 19,2002 6:30 o’dock p.m. Smith asked Mr. Libennan if he could support the shift if the arborvitae remained. Mr. Libennan stated that he could support the shift if th' arborvitae did remaiti. Ms. Welch indicated that she believed the applicant could leave the shrubbery or the equivalent. Smith indicated that the Commission seemed to favor the shift but had difficulty supporting the eaves and “prow”. Fritzler stated that, as proposed, he could not support the extending peak or “prow”, he felt the front either had to be straight across or moved back further into the house. Mabusth and Bremer felt the applicant needed to maintain a 53* setback. Rahn stated that he liked the new design. Smith stated that she liked the **prow” but wanted to see it at S3*. She questioned whether the Commission could support giving them back the original 660 s.f of hardcover. She indicated that she could see that three of the Commissioners felt no additional hardcover was warranted. Ms. Welch argued that this new home application differs from the Melin existing home application due to the investment being made and the fact that this home would not ever be allowed any decking. Bremer argued that this application could support a deck if the home being proposed were smaller. The similarity to McIin is merely that they both fall under the 1,500 s.f. hardcover. Smith suggested the applicants table the ^plication in order to redesign the plan, pulling back the ‘*prow** a bit to maintain the 53* and coming back again. PAGE 20
