MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON OCTOBER 16, 1995 (#9 - #2066 Robert and Iris Waade - Continued) Gafiron said the revised proposal calls for hardcover removal with cutting back the driveway area. The revision would alter the foot print area with the addition of a garage stall and an entry way area. The sharp comers would be cut off and an area would be bumped out. There would be no second story. Some additional height would be gained from a 10:12 pitch roof over the entire stnicture. The residence would encroach past the average lakeshore setback. A side setback variance would be required as the garage would be located within the 30' setback. The new setback is proposed at 16* where it now exists at 8'. The bump out is located at 19' from the side lot line. The entry is within the 0-75' zone. The house wotdd encroach 13' past the average setback with the new roof Gaffron noted that the house -r.cated to the north of this property is on low topography and would not be affected by this proposal. The house to the south has minimum view over applicant's house now and would no longer have any view of the lake with this proposal. Gaffron reported that the lot coverage with this proposal would be at 15.37% where 15% is allowed. Hardcover in the 0-75' zone exists at 39.1 8% and is proposed at 36.14%. 25% hardcover is allowed in the 75-250' zone and exists at 15.96% and would be decreased to 9.25%. The hardcover for the driveway portion serving the neighbor is not included in the calculations. No height variance would be required with the new roof proposed at a ground-to-peak height of 35.8'. The applicant said it was his desire to minimize the impact of the huust^ on the property and neighborhood v. hile still gaining a house up to today's standards. Hawn inquired what would become of the broken asphalt on the property near the shoreline. Waade said it will be removed and replaced with pea rock, which he understands to be non-hardcover. Lindquist asked about the open area between the house and garage. This would be expanded for the master bedroom. When inquiring about the size of the garage, Lindquist was told the garage would be increased to a 3 -stall from its present 2-stall configuration. Schroeder was concerned with reduction of rock/plastichardcover in the 0-75'. Gaffron said the entryway area included rock and plastic which was not noted in the calculations. It was noted that the 4' overhang would be eliminated and replaced with 1-1/2' overhang, which has not been figured into the calculations as eaves are not defined in the code as whether they are actual hardcover. Hawn gave her support of the proposal noting the applicant's diligence in keeping additional hardcover to a minimum while gaining the desired space.
