MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON OCTOBER 17. 1994 (#4 . #1959 - Ogland • Continued) r Rowlette questioned why no penalty was applied when the matter was an after-the-fact variance. Ogland said he had been told by the City that 120 s.f. shed did not require a permit and no one rnemioned a variance to him. One year later, an inspector questioned him about the shed. Mabusth said the City now requires permits for sheds 120 s.f or less to ensure setbacks are met. Peterson moved, Nolan seconded, to approve the rear yard setback variance, the side yard setback variance, and the lot coverage variance necessary to approve the shed m the above noted location.
