m ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION Monday, May 15, 2000 (#2579 James Kemna, Continued) to see a plan that brings the project closer into compliance with the front and side yard setbacks. Stoddard stated he is in agreement with Lindquist and that the addition needs to comply with City Code as much as possible. Weinberger stated the Applicant would need to meet the 15 foot side yard setback for the garage since the proposed garage is over 750 feet. If the garage is under 750 feet, the Applicant would need to meet a 10 foot setback. Nygard commented he does have a problem with granting the variance since the hardship is supposed to be created by the land. Kemna commented he has a limited amount of land available to work with between the house and the garage. Berg commented she understands the Applicant's dilemma and the difficulty of trying to construct the addition at the rear of the house. Smith pointed out the Applicant will need to consider the possibility that Willow may eventually be widened or have shoulders added, which would lessen the setback from the road to the residence even further. Smith stated the Applicant has the option of having the Planning Commission table this application to allow the Applicant to revise his plans, or vote on the application. Smith noted due to the comments by the Planning Commission members, it appears the application will be denied. Weinberger noted the time limit on this application will not expire prior to the next Planning Commission meeting. Weinberger stated the Applicant will need to submit a letter requesting the 60 day time limit be waived in the event he needs more time to develop new plans. Kemna indicated he would like his application to be tabled. Lindquist moved, Smith seconded, to table Application #2579, James and Candace Kemna, 1110 Willow Drive South, to allow the Applicant time to revise his plans. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. Smith recommended the Applicant work wiih City Staff on these issues.
