I <br />MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />Mooday, Scptcnbcr 17,2001 <br />6:30 o’clock p.m. <br />Barry Bennett, 2209 Shadywood Road, indicated he welcomes new development to the area which <br />will add value to the neighborhood. Bennett requested the Planning Commission require the <br />Applicant comply with the standards of the neighborhood, noting this home is significantly larger than <br />the homes in the area. <br />Bennett stated he would like a string test from the adjacent property to the north and his property, this <br />home does not conform with the standard. Bennett stated the revised proposal has the house situated <br />even closer to the lake, which definitely does not conform with the standard for the area. Bennett <br />stated he would like the residence moved back closer to Shadywood Road. <br />In addition, Bennett indicated he does have water concerns since his property handles much of the <br />water runoff for this area. Bennett stated in his view the hardcover standards should also be adhered <br />to as well as asbestos removal standards due to the fact that the current siding on the home contains <br />asbestos. <br />Ronald Potas, 2190 Shadywood Road, stated he has the same concerns as expressed by Bennett. Potas <br />stated the proposed house is located 13 feet closer to the lake than the other homes in the <br />neighborhood. <br />Hawn noted the revised plan does have the house located further back towards the road. Hawn stated <br />she would like Staff to work with the Applicant in order to have the residence conform more to the <br />neighborhood. <br />Timothy Hulst, 2205 Shadywood Road, stated he would like the house to conform to the standards in <br />order to help preserve his view of the lake as well. Hulst stated he has concerns regarding the width of <br />the proposed structure, noting this is a narrow lot. <br />Hawn noted the Applicant is not requesting any setback variances. <br />Richard Schiitgen, 2213 Shadywood Road, stated in his view the size of the house is too large for the <br />property and should be reduced and built within the standards of the neighborhood. <br />PAGE 18
