MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,June 15,2015 <br /> 6:30 dclock p.m. <br /> McGrann stated the Council can choose to table the application based on the neighbors comments or go <br /> forward. <br /> Curtis stated the Council can choose to table,approve, or deny the application. <br /> McGrann stated he is not sure the Planning Commission needs to see it again to hear the neighbor's <br /> concerns if they can address the City Council. <br /> Lemke stated he is not sure it is the obligation of the Planning Commission to make sure it is convenient <br /> for the neighbors to voice their opinion in person. Lemke noted the Planning Commission heard Mrs. <br /> Rokke's voice mail and that they need to make their decision based on what has been presented. <br /> Schoenzeit stated what is being sent forward is very compliant. <br /> Thiesse stated in response to Ms. Delaney's comments,the driveway appears to be where it is allowed <br /> and that it is a vast improvement to what is there now. Thiesse noted the Planning Commission is not in <br /> the business of redesigning plans. <br /> Delaney noted there were no elevation plans from the side so they do not know what the grade of the <br /> driveway will be. Delaney commented it would be nice to know where the driveway entrance is proposed <br /> to be and what the elevation will be. Delaney stated she has a concern that headlights are going to be <br /> shining into her house. <br /> Thiesse stated the elevation is 968' and the driveway will be coming downhill just as fast as her driveway. <br /> Thiesse stated it appears there property is lower than hers. <br /> Delaney stated her property is lower than this property. <br /> Thiesse asked if she drives uphill to get to her property. <br /> Delaney indicated she does. Delaney stated she has a concern when they leave the house. Delaney stated <br /> there has never been a driveway there and that it would be nice to see some elevation plans. <br /> Thiesse stated that would not provide any more information as to the location of her house and that the <br /> Planning Commission does have side view elevations in the Planning Commission packet. <br /> Delaney stated she does not know where the driveway is in relationship to her driveway or her house. <br /> Curtis noted this was done late this afternoon, and before the application goes to the City Council,the <br /> applicants will be asked to formally update their plan before the City Council meeting so everyone will <br /> know the elevation change from the garage to the street. Curtis indicated she can ask the applicant to <br /> locate her driveway on their survey so the proximity can be seen as well as the grading. <br /> Thiesse suggested a spot elevation also be depicted for both properties. Thiesse stated she could also go <br /> over there at dusk and shine a flashlight back towards her house. Thiesse stated the proposed driveway is <br /> located where the house is now. <br /> Delaney stated she has a concern where the driveway comes out at the street easement. <br /> Page 24 of 53 <br />
