MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />July 17, 2023 <br />6:00 o'clock p.m. <br />Kirchner also said he supports it but hates to see the removal of a turnaround. He said the applicant didn't <br />build the home so the practical difficulty of the existing home location was not created by the current <br />applicant. <br />Libby said it looks like a good plan and he is in support, adding it is a very scenic and pretty setting so <br />having a nice deck to look at the lake is appropriate. <br />Bollis asked about the removal of the turnaround, wondering if the applicant was proposing a one-to-one <br />removal or going above the necessary removal of the hardcover. He said he agrees it would be a shame to <br />lose the turnaround on the driveway. <br />Curtis said the applicant is staying pretty equal as hardcover is 23.8 percent right now and will be 23.9 if <br />the project is completed as proposed. There is a little bit of square footage that they could utilize so staff <br />can work with them to see if it's necessary to remove the entire turnaround to stay with 25 percent. <br />Libby moved, Erickson seconded, to recommend approval of LA22-000033, 559 Park Lane <br />variance as applied. VOTE: Ayes: 7, Nays 0. <br />OTHER BUSINESS — Update on July 10, 2023 City Council Meeting <br />Oakden gave a brief update on the July 10, 2023 City Council meeting.
