l\flNUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, April 16, 2007 <br />6:00 o'clock p.m. <br />(#07-3285 Robbin and Kristine Johnson, Continued) <br />3. Is there an appropriate location for the building that would satisfy the separation and other <br />zoning code requirements? There is a wetland area between Bracketts Point Road and the pool <br />area that precludes placing the building toward between the pool and the road. <br />4. What is the appropriate level of hardcover? The applicants have indicated they are willing to <br />remove some of the patio that wraps around the south side of the house. The original plans did not have <br />the walkway extending across the center portion of the lakeside of the house, but since there is a door in <br />the middle of the curved wall and on the north end, it seems reasonable to allow it to remain. <br />Planning Staff recommends approval with conditions. <br />Johnson stated they are agreeable to bringing the hardcover back into compliance on the lot. Johnson <br />noted there are pilings that have been utilized. <br />Kroeger noted there is a fairly recently built pad on the site and inquired whether that is included in the <br />hardcover figures. · <br />Johnson stated it has been included in the numbers. <br />Kempf noted Staff had expressed a concern regarding kids climbing on top of the building and jumping <br />off. Kempf stated the railing gives kids the ability to climb up on top of the railing and then access the <br />lower roof. Kempf suggested the deck not be extended that far. <br />Johnson stated they are considering turning the stairs. <br />Kempf requested the railing be relocated away from the lower roofline . <br />Kang moved, Zullo seconded, to recommend approval of Application #07-3285, Robbin and <br />Kristine Johnson, 1280 Bracketts Point Road, granting of a hardcover variance and structure <br />separation variance, requiring a four foot separation, subject to removal of the excess hardcover <br />on the lot. VOTE: Ayes 6, Nays 0. <br />> <br />PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS <br />14.
