MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />JUNE 19,2000 <br />(#2) M564 WILLIAM SCOTT DAMPIER, 3550 IVY PLACE - VARIANCES, <br />6:57 p.m. - 7:04 p.m. <br />William Dampier, Applicant, was present. <br />The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. <br />Gaffiron stated this application was tabled at the April Planning Commission meeting to allow the <br />Applicant time to submit revised plans and was continued to the June Planning Commission meeting <br />at the request of the Applicant. <br />GafTron stated the intent is to change the roof line in order to have a full second story to the house. <br />A variance is required to the side yard setback as well as a variance to the hardcover in the 75*250' <br />setback area. The Applicant will be removing some hardcover in the 75-250’ area, with a <br />reduction in hardcover to 48.9 percent from 55.4 percent. <br />Gaffron stated the revised plan includes lowering the northerly and easterly portions of the existing <br />deck, so that no portions of the deck or its required railings will be more than six feet above <br />grade. Gaffron noted the deck has been modified in such a faishion to reduce the amount of <br />structural lot coverage on the property below the maximum 15 percent. <br />Gaffron stated this is a reasonable solution to the concerns raised by the Planning Commission, <br />with City Staff recommending approval of the application. Gaffron stated there no longer is the <br />need for any variances or conditional use permit for the deck. <br />Smith inquired whether the Applicant is satisfied with this proposed resolution. <br />Dampier indicated he was, noting the downside to this is that he will be required to locate a <br />lock box at the front of the residence rather than store his dock equipment under his deck. <br />Dampier indicated he is fine with that. <br />Hawn inquired whether the lock box would be included in the hardcover numbers. <br />Gaffron stated a lock box would not be considered as hardcover since it is one of the few structures <br />allowed within the 0-75’ area without being considered hardcover. Gaffron stated the lock box <br />can be up to 20 square feet and 42 inches in height. <br />There were no public comments regarding this application. <br />Lindquist moved, Nygard seconded, to recommend approval of Application #2564, <br />William Scott Dampier, 3550 Ivy Place, granting of variances to hardcover and side yard <br />setback based on the fact that there will be a reduction in the existing hardcover. <br />VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0.
