MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON JANUARY 21, 1997 (#3 - #2187 Donald and Robin Helgager - Continued) Helgager said he understands why guest house requirements prohibit more than one main entrance. He noted that prior to remodeling, it had been difficult to know where the primary entrance to the home vvls located. Helgager said the location of the single stall garage is to enable the user of the guest house entry to the interior without having to walk through the entire house. Smith suggested moving the garage location from the front of the house so it would not protrude. Heupel brought the Commission's attention to the steep topography of the property. Hawii inquired if the access from CoRd 6 could be moved further west. Gaftron did not believe this would solve the problem. Helgager also said it would increase hardcover Lindquist reported his problem with the plan had to do with the garage and not location to the lake side. There were no public comments. The applicant was informed tl.at the Planning Commission’s objection to the plan was the garage. Helgager asked if it was the additional garage or the garage location to the road. Hawn said she had a problem with both noting that she would prefer less garage area farther from the road. Smith said she was concerned about the design of two distinct living areas. She felt it would encourage the establishment of two residences in the future. Lindquist indicated his concern about the pro.vimity of the garage to the road. Schroeder was concerned about the future creation of tw o units and the pro.ximity of the garage to the road. McMillan noted there is limited area to resolve the issues and questioned whether some square footage of living space should be eliminated to accommodate the third garage. She does not wish to see any further encroachment to the lake side and sees the lake as a bigger concern than that of CoRd 6. At the applicant’s request. Smith moved, Schroeder seconded, to table Application #2187 to allow the applicant to review' the plans. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0.
