MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, August 16, 2004 <br />6:00 o'clock p.m. <br />(#04-3043 John Holm and Susan Kerber, continued) <br />Holm indicated their architect drew in the patio but there would not be any changes to the existing <br />pa tio. <br />Jurgens inquired whether it was possible to reduce the hardcover by 1 percent in the 75 ' -250' zone <br />to reach 25 percent. <br />Curtis stated the proposed sidewalk indicated on the plan is no longer proposed, which would reduce <br />the hardcover. <br />Holm explained there are a few options to reduce the hardcover, such as reducing the sidewalk, <br />moving the turnaround off to the right, or reducing the size of the garage. Holm indicated he is not <br />opposed to reduc ing it to 25 percent. <br />Rahn suggested the applicant decide which option he would like to do. <br />Jurgens questioned whether the 75' -250' hardcover variance would still be required in order to <br />construct a covered entrance if the applicant reduces the hardcover elsewhere. <br />Curtis stated the applicant would still need a hardcover variance unless the Planning Commission <br />is requiring the applicant to reduce the hardcover to 25 percent. <br />Jurgens cmmnented if the applicant is required to reduce the hardcover to 25 percent, then that would <br />eliminate the two hardcover variances in the 7 5' -250 ' zones. <br />Bremer inquired whether the applicant understood what the Planning Commission was recommending. <br />Kempf stated the applicant has the option of adding the sidewalk if he reduces the driveway. <br />Holm stated he would like some turnaround . <br />Jurgens noted approximately 150 square feet wou ld need to be removed . <br />Gundlach stated one percent is approximately 14 7 .5 square feet. <br />Jurgens moved, Kempf seconded, to recommend approval of Application #04-3043, <br />approval of an average lakeshore setback variance and a 75' -250' zone hardcover <br />variance in order to replace an existing 13' by 24' deck on the east side of their home, <br />and a side setback variance in order to construct a two-stall garage 10 feet from the side lot line <br />where a 30 foot setback is required and a 9.9 foot setback is existing, for the property located at <br />1485 Bay Ridge Road.
