ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MINUTES FOR FEBRUARY 23.2000 <br />(#2480 Elaine Erickson, Continued) <br />Hawn stated the Applicant needs to address the drainage concerns and reduce structural coverage. <br />Hawn indicated she does not have a problem with an attached garage. <br />Kluth commented the driveway is not a major issue in his opinion. <br />Hawn remarked the Applicant may have some issues with snow removal as well. <br />Anderson commented the road was not constructed as it was originally platted and should be located <br />further uphill. <br />Weinberger stated the City Engineer can review the drainage and grading plans prepared by the <br />Applicant's engineer and make whatever recommendations are necessary. Weinberger noted the <br />City Engineer normally does not go out and review the site. <br />Gaffron pointed out it would be hard to tell the viability of the tree at this time of year, and suggested <br />the Applicant hire a tree service to look at the tree and make some recommendations on what <br />should be done. <br />Hawn suggested the application be tabled. <br />Anderson requested the matter be tabled. <br />Hawn moved, Kluth seconded, to table Application #2486, Elaine Erickson, 1270 Spruce <br />Place, to allow the Applicant time to revise their plans, submit a grading and drainage <br />plan, and to address the issues with the damaged tree. <br />Gaffron inquired whether the Appiicant will be allowed to keep the structural coverage at the <br />proposed 16 percent. <br />Hawn stated the Planning Commission typically does not allow structural coverage to exceed the <br />allowable 15 percent. Hawn stated it is hard to determine the exact amount of hardcover being <br />proposed at this time, which will need to be recalculated. <br />Gaffron suggested the Applicant lower the deck below six feet so it will not be counted as <br />structural coverage. <br />There were no public comments regarding this appiication. <br />VOTE ON THE ABOVE MOTION: Ayes 4.
