MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />HELD MARCH 15. 1993 <br />ZONING FILE §1804 - CONT. <br />Mabusth axplainad the applicant seeks an average lakeshore setback <br />variance to construct a new residence on a property. The former <br />single story residence has been removed. A one-story walkout is <br />proposed. The adjacent property has a platted corridor to the lake, <br />which the code classified as a lakeshore lot with view rights. The <br />former residence was also in front of the average setback. <br />Cohen asked If there would be any change in views of adjacent <br />neighbors. <br />Dave Runkei, 2684 Casco °oint Road, introduced his spokesperson, <br />Dale Runkei. <br />Dale Runkei reviewed that the former residence was set back further <br />on the property, and was only a one story residence of 900-1,000 <br />s.f., which is approximately one-third the size of what is <br />proposed. He proposed the new residence would obscure the <br />peripheral view of the Runkels. He also indicated the residence <br />would be much higher on the property because of existing <br />eIevatIons. <br />Mabusth noted the former single story residence was constructed at <br />the 956 elevation. She reiterated the applicant proposes a one- <br />story walkout. <br />Cohen asked the purpose of the ordinance. <br />Mabusth stated it is for the protection of lake views. <br />Bellows asked the use of the corner of the Runkei house closest to <br />the property. <br />Dale Runkei stated that area is currently used as garage space, but <br />in the future may be added on to or remodeled. <br />Cohen stated since there Is not a window from that corner, no view <br />is Impeded. <br />Bellows stated It is the City's Intent to maintain existing <br />conditions, not to improve upon future view conditions. <br />Mrs. Runkei noted they have a lakeside deck, and their peripheral <br />view would be impacted with the proposed residence. <br />Dave Runkei presented pictures and a comparable situation on Casco <br />Point Road. <br />6
