MIS’UTES OF THE ORONO FLANMNC; COMMISSION MEETING <br />HEED AU(;UST 16, 1993 <br />ZONING FILE ;i^l853 - COM . <br />Engcbrctson added that the three car tuck under garage serves as the foundation for the proposed <br />structure and is needed to fit in with the value of homes being constructed in the area. <br />Smith inquired about Jhe driveway and turnaround in that area to eliminate hardcover in the <br />circle drive. <br />Mulfiniier answered that the design eliminates the view of the tuck under garage thus the <br />primary view is the front door and by not always parking in the garage, the turnaround would <br />not be blocked. <br />Smith asked if the evergreen and other trees would be saved. <br />Ihieebretson said the majority of trees will stay especially those on the hill which will act as a <br />sound and visual shield from Tonkawa Road. <br />Nolan questioned the reasons for turning the house which creates a 6 encroachment in the <br />average lakeshore setback and an e.xcess of hardcover in the 0-75’ setback area. <br />Mulfinger explained that the design takes into consideration all the constraints on the property <br />and significant gains were made under this format rather than to deal with trying to be behind <br />the setWk lines. The view is better to the northeast. In trying to pull the house back, they did <br />not consider the line as the absolute most important thing and tried to achieve a balance between <br />taking as few trees as possible, saving as much of the hill, creating the cul-de-sac to enable <br />peopfe to leave safely - ’ provide a view. This house shows a porch in lieu of a deck so the <br />aggregate volume of hardcover is inclusive of what others might call a deck. <br />Chair Schroeder felt there was a good compromise with the plan and a gain in the reduction of <br />hardci'ver within the 0-75’ area. <br />Mabusth stated it would be a 6.2% reduction. <br />Chair Schrccdct stated with respeet to the three ear garage the Planning Commission d,«s not <br />consider the salability but cares about hardcover and appropriateness. The proposed house <br />seems to fit the lot well. <br />It was moved bv Peterson. sect)ndcd by Schroeder to recommend approval of Application #1853 <br />for Richard E. 'and A. Jean Engebretson, 1180 Tonkawa Road, for the variance as proposed and <br />accepted the hardships stated by applicants. Vote: Ayes 4. nays 0.
