MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD MAY 17, 1993 ZONING FILE #1826 - CONT. Mabusth explained the applicants propose the removal of the existing tennis court, the construction of a detached garage and the addition of a deck within the 0-75’ zone. She noted the County must approve the proposed changes with regard to the approach, and the application will not be presented to Council until such approval is received by the City. The applicants propose the removal of the shed and adjacent brick structure. She noted there is currently no direct access onto the lakesho'*e yard from the house. She pointed out she could not remember a time when the Planning Commission approved new structural hardcover in the 0- 75’ zone. She suggested a walk from the lakeshore side doorway around to the side where a deck could be constructed out of the 0- 75’ setback area. Mr. Henson said that would be too near his neighbor, and noted the drainage that runs between the two lots. He indicated they propose the garage as their current garage is 120’ away from the house, uphill. He noted the tennis court needs to be resurfaced and the fencing repaired or replaced. He pointed out for the removal of 5,000 s.f. of hardcover, all they request in return outside the limits of the code is the lakeside deck. Mrs. Henson noted their engineer is currently working on plans for the access approach. Peterson questioned whether there is other hardcover in the 0-75’ zone that could be removed. Mr. Henson noted there is approximately 33 s.f. of brick area near the lakeshore. Paul and Marcia Merlo, 2142 Shadywood Road, expressed strong support for the project. They felt the removal of the tennis court would help the quality of the lake in terms of drainage, and felt the applicants should be allowed some type of deck on the lakeside of their home. Mr. Henson pointed out the deck will only extend 6’ past the existing structure as a portion of the structure currently protrudes 4’ and the deck would be placed In this area. Peterson noted they will have a tight turn into the proposed garage. Mark, applicants’ builder, said the garage will be off set from the house with 16’ doors, which should provide enough room if garage is square with the door. i a , i
