ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES FOR FEBRUARY 16.1999 (1t2) M24S9 Cmr OF ORONO, ZONING CODE AMENDMENT, TELECOMMUNICATIONS ORDINANCE- Continued Gaffron asked the Commission to comment on whether antenna provisions should be added to the B-2 and B-5 districts. There were no public comments. Hawn asked if the Commission members wanted to comment on whether there should be changes made to the B-2 and B-5 districts. Mabusth said the question is whether such structures should be allowed in the Shoreland district. She asked staff to show the location of these districts. Gaffron displayed a map showing the B-5 and B-2 districts. White questioned whether B-5 and B-2 districts have no antennas controls or they are not allowed any antennas. Gaffron said they are not allowed in the B-5 and B-2 districts. If they are allowed, they need to be regulated. Mabusth asked if the structure could be as high as 65 feet. Gaffron said there are limitations and he is not sure if 65 feet would be the maximum allowed. Mabusth asked what would be allowed if the code is amended. Gaffron said it would be same as the other B districts. White said he would not recommend a change in the B-2 or B-5 districts. Gaffron explained the height requirements. White moved, McMillan seconded, a motion to adopt An Ordinance Amending Orono Zoning Code Sections 10.25 and 10.40 and Amending Ordinance No. 161,2nd Series Pertaining to Regulations for Construction and Placement of Telecommunication Towers and Antennas. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. (#4) #2440 DALE GUSTAFSON, ON BEHALF OF ROBERT LUX, 1209 FRENCH CREEK DRIVE, VARIANCE. 7:15 p.m. - 7:25 p.m. Dale Gustafson and Ed Suarez, Gustafson Design of Golden Valley, were present. Weinberger presented the staff report. He said this application is for variances to permit the construction of swimming pool and terrace area with a patio to the rear of the existing residence. Ute proposed pool would be located 28’ from the rear property line. He said the lot is located in the French Creek Subdivision which was developed as a Planned Residential Development (PRD) south of French Lake. There is a 150' setback requirement from French Lake because It is a Natural Environment lake. The proposal would place the swimming pool and patio area within the 150' structure setback. The proposal meets all hardcover and structural requirements and it does not have an unfavorable impact on the neighboring properties. Staff recommends approval of the variances. He said the applicant will be returning for a condKional use permit to complete a landscape pond at the north end of the property. Page 4
