ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES FOI Mrs. Cavender commented if they are required to redesign their plan, it would require a significant amount of work. C&vender noted the proposed garage for the residence is not oversized. Hawn inquired whether the house could be located closer to the road. Mrs. Cavender stated they will not be able to meet the setback requirements. Cavender indicated there are utility poles and a lift station located in the front yard, which necessitates the house being located a little further back. Boyer stated due to the narrowness of Rest Point Road and the lack of parking available on the street, the house and garage need to be located furtier back to accommodate a car in the driveway. Stoddard commented he would be willing to approve a variance to the front yard setback. but that the Applicants need to comply with the 15 percent structural coverage limit. Stoddard suggested this application be tabled to allow the Applicant time to revise his plans. Stoddard stated the Applicant probably will not be allowed to construct a patio or walkway to the lake. Mrs. Cavender stated the patio is located off to the side. Nygard noted the patio is still located within the 0-75' setback. Smith recommended the Applicants attempt to adhere to the 15 percent structural coverage limit and relocate the house closer to the road. Kluth indicated the number one Issue is the structural coverage, with the 15 percent needing to be complied with. Kluth stated he would like to see the hardcover under the 25 percent limit as well due to environmental concerns. Kluth noted the 0-75* setback is the most critical as it relates to hardcover due to the impact to the lake. Hawn stated it appears the Planning Commission would like the Applicants to adhere to the 15 percent structural coverage limit. Hawn inquired whether the Applicants would be willing to extend the 60 day review period should the Planning Commission table this application. Page 40 e
