MINUTES OF THE. ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING IIPLD JUNI: 17, 1985. PAGE 2 0876 ASPLUND Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron stated that the City (Cont . ) Engineer did look at the proposed deck with wood and a sand base. Gaffron noted that with certain construction techniques and no plastic underneath it could be, technically considered non -hardcover. Gaffron explained that the City Engineer's point is that the deck may begin with a sand base but a future owner could easily put plastic down underneath and it would become impossible for staf f to police such a condition. Sime explained that the City has not identif ied exactly what is hardcover and that the City has always considered decking as hardcover. Sime explained that the City has just recently begun changing its philosophy regarding hardcover if decks are constructed in a manner so to allow water to penetrate the ground with sand base. Chairman Callahan suggested that the Planning Commission address 3424 Eastlake Street first.

Kelley asked the status of Outlot B. Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron explained that Outlot B is shared by all three homes. Gaffron noted that Outlot B is where the shared driveway is located along with the shared mound septic system. Randy Asplund stated that Uutlot B could be a legal problem.

Taylor asked if staff charges half the driveway to 3424 Eastlake Street and half the driveway to 3444 Eastlake Street since it is a shared driveway. Taylor stated that there appears to be a fair amount of square footage measured back to the 250' line and could extend the 250' line through Outlot B and credit both parcels and redo hardcover calculations. Zoning Administrator Mahusth stated that Outlot B was set aside for various improvements such as the shred septic system and shared driveway access. Mabusth stated that these homes were granted setback variances to construct new homes on the lots.
