MmUTBS OP THE PUUmiHG COMMISSION : i A :■iriNG HELD JULY 20, 1987 <br />#1176 POTHAM COHTIMDBD <br />Applicant proposes to attach his existing house and <br />detached garage. The garage is currently 2' from the <br />lot line. The applicant notes that the garage <br />foundation may have to be replaced, but he does not want <br />to move the garage further from the lot line because <br />that would force the removal of a large maple next to <br />the proposed 3rd garage stall. Applicant has noted that <br />the trend in the neighborhood is for garages to all be <br />at the edge of the lot, so visual spacing is maintained. <br />Richard Putnam was present for this matter and showed <br />renderings of the proposal. <br />Cohen, Bellows, and Johnson felt that hardcover was not <br />a problem in light of the slight increase in the 75-250’ <br />and the proposed reduction in the 250-500'. <br />Planning Commission majority felt that the side setback <br />of 10' should be adhered to if the garage foundation is <br />to be replaced. <br />Johnson felt that the existing/proposed Incation of <br />garage was acceptable. <br />Mr. Putnam stated that the hardship was the need for <br />more storage space for cars ai.d outdoor recreational <br />equipment. <br />Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron noted that the <br />adjacent house at 2755 Casco Point Road currently has no <br />plumbing and is intended to eventually be removed and a <br />new house built, which likely v.’ill be placed forward to <br />conform with the rest of the neighborhood. Because of <br />this fact. Planning Cor nission felt that the average <br />lakeshore setback should take into consideration the <br />house location north of 2755 Casco Point Road. <br />Planning Commission felt this more accurate average <br />lakeshore setback information was needed to act on the <br />proposed porch addition. <br />Planning Commission member Hanson's written comments as <br />follows: "I have reviewed the applicant's proposed <br />project and generally feel the design is appropriate for <br />that neighborhood. In general, I feel the lack of <br />hardcover at 0-75' weighs favorably against the change <br />at 75-250'. A third stall, integrated in the design as <br />it is, is acceptable but tradable. Side setback at <br />garage is O.K." <br />Mr. Putn<:m did not wish to delay the application pending <br />additional information, therefore, asked Planning <br />Commission to make a recommendation.
