MINUTES OF THE " � ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday,June 15,2015 6:30 o'clock p.m. Rogosheske stated they eventually did give an easement to the City and that they would appreciate a bike path along the road George Funk, Applicant, indicated the line would move a little bit if they are required to go with the 30-foot setback. Funk stated the lots would have a cleaner look with the 15-foot setback and it would also give more flexibility to the homeowner. Funk stated they will submit a new survey before to the City Council meeting. Funk stated the driveway access is actually an old fa�7ner's access road. Funk stated that road actually goes down and has a dip in it. Funk stated access to the north may be an issue, but the elevation of Old Crystal Bay Road was lowered by two feet. Funk stated if the driveway is put on grade, which their driveway is, it should be almost the same view, so it should not be a problem. Funk stated they were going to include a split driveway but Staff said it would have a better chance of being approved if it is not a split driveway. Lemke asked if the 1,008 square feet was a mistake. Funk stated that was his mistake, and that they originally took the size of the garage with the siding on it, and the surveyor said it is the footprint of the concrete block that is measured. Leskinen asked if they will require a 15 ar 30-foot setback. Barnhart stated anything above 1,000 square feet would require a 30-foot setback. Chair Leskinen opened the public hearing at 8:35 p.m. David Harmon, 505 South Old Crystal Bay Road, stated he and his wife are in support of the application and that in their view another home will have any adverse impact on them. Harmon stated they are looking forward to having another family in the neighborhood. Chair Leskinen closed the public hearing at 8:36 p.m. Leskinen suggested the Planning Commission start with the garage setback. Page 28 of 79
