MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />MONDAY, OCTOBER IS, 2001 <br />(#01-2722 MICHAEL AND MONICA BROWN, CONTINUED) <br />Weinberger stated the issue he had with a front loading'garage is that the location of the garage near <br />the street would not allow parking in the driveway. Weinberger stated the garage in this location does <br />make some sense given the parking area to the side. <br />Gaffron stated the mayor’s garage is located ten feet from the street lot line and 20 feet from the <br />traveled roadway. <br />Hawn inquired whether there was any other location the mayor could have built her garage. Hawn <br />stated it is her recollection there was only one location available for the garage. <br />Lindquist stated he would not have a problem with the garage if it were located ten feet from the <br />street and ten feet from the rear property line. <br />Stoddard stated he also is in agreement with that. <br />Lindquist stated the garage could be moved closer to the house. <br />Rahn indicated he would prefer the garage be located ten feet from the lot line. <br />Hawn commented the Planning Commission should not be designing the garage for the Applicant. <br />Brown stated he would like some direction from the Planning Commission. Brown indicated he is <br />requesting the variance due to the pine tree. <br />Lindquist stated in his view the garage could be located closer to the residence or reduced somewhat <br />in size to allow for a larger setback to the street. <br />Hawn stated she would not have as much concern regarding the location of the garage if it was a side <br />loading garage. Hawn stated in her view a portion of the parking area could be utilized for the <br />garage. Hawn suggested the Applicant review his options for location of the garage. <br />Brown requested his application be tabled. <br />Hawn moved, Mabusth seconded, to table Application #01-2722, Michael and Monica Brown, <br />1241 Brown Road South, to allow the Ap'^Ucant time to review the location of the garage. <br />VOTE: Ayes 6, Nays 0. <br />(Recess taken from 8:16 p.m. to 8:18 p.m.) <br />PAGE IS <br />I-,. .. .
