ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />MINUTES FOR JANUARY 19. 2000 <br />(#2568 Anthony Patterson, Continued) <br />Hawn commented the Planning Commission is reluctant to approve structural coverage <br />which exceeds the allowable 15 percent. <br />Kluth stated he does not have a problem with the proposed setbacks. Kluth stated the <br />concrete sidewalk would be considered hardcover. Kluth stated if the deck is reduced by <br />ten square feet, structural coverage would be reduced to 18.2 percent, which is the <br />existing amount of structural coverage on the property. <br />Smith suggested the Applicants keep the structural coverage at the existing limit, noting <br />the code allows up to 15 percent structural coverage. <br />Hawn suggested the Applicants revise their plan in an effort to reduce the overall structural <br />coverage on the property. <br />Smith noted City Staff is recommending reconfiguration of the lakeside deck and keeping it <br />at its present size, which will eliminate the need for a hardcover variance and encroachment <br />into the 0-75' setback area. <br />Bergman inquired whether patio stones are considered hardcover. <br />Smith stated they would be counted as hardcover. Smith inquired whether the Applicants <br />would like their application tabled to allow them time to revise their plan. <br />Kluth noted the sideyard is grandfathered in. Kluth recommended this application be <br />tabled. <br />Patterson inquired whether the application could proceed forward if they keep the hardcover <br />and structural coverage at the existing limits. <br />Hawn stated the Planning Commission needs to review the revised plan before approving <br />it. Hawn stated she would not be comfortable approving this application prior to seeing <br />a revised plan. <br />Smith indicated she was in agreement with Hawn and that the Planning Commission really <br />needs to review the revised plan to see exactly what is being proposed before approval is <br />given. <br />Hawn advised the Applicant to have the application tabled. <br />Patterson requested the application be tabled. <br />Smith moved, Kluth seconded, to table Application #2558, Anthony Patterson, <br />1780 Shadywood Road, to allow the Applicant tinie to submit a revised plan. <br />VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />Page 32
