ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES FOR APRIL 19,1999 (#2457 Paula and David Lindberg, continued) two 0-75' setback zones. The revised plan is proposing to have an attached garage, with the house being moved more towards the center of the lot. The new structure would be completely out of the 0-75* setback zones, with the driveway requiring 1,050 square feet of hardcover in the 0-75' setback. The plan proposes 1,808 square feet more hardcover than the maximum allowed by the ordinance, but this lot, however, has two 0-75' setbacks. Weinberger stated that economic consideration and design preferences are not considered a hardship under state law. Weinberger noted that the Applicants have reduced hardcover on this lot by making the garage a tuck-under garage, removing some of the proposed decks on the new structure, and reducing the living space. Lindberg had no comment on his application. There were no public comments. Hawn inquired what portion of the hardcover is comprised of driveway in the 75-250' setback. Hawn indicated her recollection of the last meeting was that they wanted the Applicants to get the residence to 25 percent with the driveway being excluded. Weinberger stated total hardcover would be 3,786 square feet, with the driveway being 770 square feet. The allowable hardcover in that zone was 3,797 square feet. Lindquist indicated that the Applicants have complied with the request of the Planning Commission. Smith inquired whether the hardcover would be under the 25 percent limit with the driveway being excluded. Weinberger stated hardcover would be slightly under the 25 percent. Stoddard noted that this lot is three times larger than the lot in the other application. Hawn inquired whether a peimit would be necessary for excavation. Weinberger stated a conditional use permit would not be necessary as the excavation would be outside the 75' lakeshore setback and the amount of fill will not exceed 500 cubic yards. The Applicants are allowed to receive a staff issued land alteration permit. Lindquist moved, Smith seconded, to recommend approval of Application #2457, 1392 Baldur Park Road, as presented, to permit construction of a new residence with a variance to hardcover in the 75-250' setback, a variance to the south 0-75* setback to allow a driveway, and further subject to the stipulation that no new hardcover or structural coverage will be looked upon favorably by the Planning Commission.
