ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES FOR AUGUST 16,1999 (#2509 Andrew Ronningen, Continued) Lindguist inquired whether 320 square feet of hardcover could be removed outside of the plastic undertayment. Ronningen commented the driveway is gravel with grass down the middle, Smith stated that the entire gravel driveway would count as hardcover. Smith inquired if the plastic undertayment is removed, what the hardcover would be reduced to. Jenson stated there is approximately 436 square feet of landscaping with plastic undertayment currently, and the size of the addition is 520 square feet, which would result in a hardcover figure under 25 percent. Jenson noted that removal of the patio blocks Is already calculated into the hardcover figures. Stoddard inquired whether the neighbors have expressed any concerns regarding this application. Jenson stated the property is heavily wooded and would not Impact the neighbors’ property. There were no public comments. Smith stated in her view the plastic undertayment will need to be removed as a condition of approval. Jenson stated If all the plastic undertayment is removed, hardcover would be approximately 24.5 percent. Jenson stated a minimum of 350 square feet of hardcover would need to be removed in order to meet the 25 percent hardcover limit. Stoddard moved, Kluth seconded, to recommend approval of Application #2509, 3030 Casco Point Road, for a variance to the average lakeshore setback to construct a two story, 22 ’ by 24 ’ addition to their existing home, subject to the rentoval of approximately 436 square feet of landscaping/plastic underlayment within the 75-250 ’ zone. Smith Inquired whether this would be another property that should be notified that no new applications for hardcover will be looked upon favorably by the Planning Commission. Stoddard stated that with removal of the plastic underlayment and landscaping, the hardcover would be under the 25 percent limit, so in his view that stipulation is not warranted on this property at this time.
