MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION Monday, August 21, 2006 6:00 o'clock p.m. (#06-3220 Jule and Elizabeth Hannaford, Continued) Bremer inquired whether the applicant would like the application tabled or voted on tonight. Bremer stated the Planning Commission could recommend that the deck be reduced to stay within the current footprint and the application would proceed forward to the City Council. Baldwin requested the Planning Commission allow for a landing in the area of the tree. Baldwin noted they are removing a considerable amount of hardcover with their proposal. Gaffron stated if the application were tabled, a revised plan would need to be submitted at least two weeks prior to the next Planning Commission meeting. Gaffron stated if the revised plan meets the approval of Staff, the application could proceed forward to the City Council. Jurgens moved, Kroeger seconded, to recommend approval of Application #06-3220, Herb Baldwin on behalf of Jule and Elizabeth Hannaford, 1220 Bracketts Point Road, subject to the condition that there will be no further encroachment of the deck than what currently exists, and with the understanding that the hardcover removals as proposed by the applicant be completed, with no reduction in the driveway. Baldwin inquired whether a landing would be allowed. Jurgens stated he is requesting the same reductions in hardcover as proposed by the applicants in his motion but that the proposed deck would need to be reduced to meet the existing footprint. Jurgens stated the applicant would have the ability to incorporate a landing into the deck but the landing would count towards the existing footprint. Hannaford commented if she wants to change the design of her deck and she is required to reduce the size of the deck and comply with the hardcover reductions, she is unsure why she would pursue that path when she can just simply replace the deck. Bremer stated the motion allows the applicant to design a deck that fits within the footprint of the existing deck.
