L. <br />MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />HELD MAY 17, 1993 <br />ZONING FILE #1824 - CONT. <br />Liljequist reviewed Options #1 and #3 aligning the driveway <br />directly with the drive across the street and Said this is not <br />viable and Option #2 provides for too sharp of a tern into the <br />property. He said with their proposal they can back out onto Birch <br />Lane. <br />Pfterson felt Option #2 was the most logical. <br />Liljequist noted with their proposal they would be reducing <br />hardcover to 20%. <br />Mabusth questioned whether the Commission would sacrifice <br />additional hardcover for safety concerns. <br />Rowlette said she would be willing to allow an overage of <br />hardcover, but not assure a future Planning Commission would <br />feel the same way. <br />Liljequist indicated they plan to remove the sidewalk and rocks on <br />the property. <br />Rowlette asked how many houses are on Birch Lane, and indicated the <br />majority of the garages on Birch Lane are setback at similar <br />setbacks. <br />Mabusth stated the applicants are also attempting to save the <br />mature tree. She added she has not received comment from the <br />neighbors. She indicated a preference to Option #2 and said <br />hardcover would still remain below 25%. <br />It was moved by Peterson, seconded by Berg, to recommend approval <br />of Application #1824 for Eric and Shelly Liljequist, 3490 Birch <br />Lane, approving a street setback variance for a detached garage, <br />as presented by the applicants.
