Members of the commission recommended we consider putting a garage west and north <br />of the east/west driveway. We've spent the last few months considering many options and are <br />now requesting we rebuild the garage in the present location with the same size and shape as <br />presently exists, including doors, roof pitch, etc. <br />Building on the east/west driveway presents the following problems: <br />1. If we bu’iQ with a turnaround to avoid backing down the long driveway, it will add a great deal <br />of hard surface and much more e.xcavating on the property. <br />2 . Tc build close to the house causes removal of a large flower bed and grapevines, and puts the <br />we.I and piping in the equation. <br />3. The long east/west driveway is gravel and we would want to hard surface it. <br />4. This driveway tends to drift badly in a snowstorm, which wou Iq cause some problems in the <br />winter if not cleared quickly - now it can wait a few hours before plowing. The shorter <br />driveway and existing garage seldom drifts and is easily blown clean. <br />5. Presently, we use the existing garage to store boat motors and boating gear as we cannot leave <br />equipment in or on the boat. We have granted a scenic easement to Orono for the lake <br />property and can't and don't want tc put a shed there. <br />6. The landscaping and sidewalks have all been laid out to support where the present garage is <br />located.
