MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON OCTOBER 20, 1997 (#15 - #2308 Paul Larson - Continued) There were no public comments. Smith informed Larson that with new construction, the 25% hardcover allowance should be met. She noted that the applicant was aware of the lot size prior to purchase. Larson suggested eliminating the turnaround and removing T off the deck. Bressler said it was not advised to reduce the turnaround size. Larson said l.e was concerned with theft of items left out on the property. Larson reported the proposed house is less than 1100 s.f and the lot is of record. He says he needs space for storage. Smith said the Commission recognizes the difficulties with the small lot by allowing lot width and lot area variances. Smith moved, Hawn seconded, to approve Application #2309 for lot area and lot width variances. The proposal is to meet the 25% hardcover allowance without elimination of the turnaround. Van Zomeren suggested Gappa review the turnaround. Gaffron suggested the house be pulled back on the lot to reduce the amount of driveway and meet the hardcover requirement. Larson was concerned with the neighboring house being located in front of the residence and having to look out and see the side of the neighboring house. Berg noted the lot was substandard and concessions will be required. Vote: Ayes 6, Nays 0.
