MINUTES OF THE ' � <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETTNG <br /> Monday,June 15,2015 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Chair Leskinen closed the public hearing at 11:30 p.m. <br /> Lemke noted both neighbors are against the variance and that the lot is buildable without the variance. <br /> Schoenzeit noted this would be a clean sheet. <br /> Landgraver pointed out both of the neighbors have 15-foot encroachments on the other side of their <br /> properties. Landgraver asked how far the existing home is from the two neighbors. <br /> Curtis stated she is unsure. <br /> Hiller indicated the house is 20 feet from the south property line and the garage structure is 10 feet from <br /> the north property line. <br /> Schoenzeit stated perhaps a different setback could be considered, such as 20 or 18 feet. Schoenzeit <br /> stated that would be similar to�vhat exists on the other side of the neighbors' homes. Schoenzeit stated it <br /> is unlikely the Planning Cominission will approve what is being proposed, especially since this is a clean <br /> sheet and given the comments of the neighbors. <br /> Lemke stated he does not see what the neighbors currently have on the other side as having any bearing <br /> on this request. <br /> Thiesse noted there is an existing structure on the property that is outside the building envelope. <br /> Schoenzeit stated there is also something to the neighbor's comment about this now being a two-story <br /> structure rather than a one-story. Schoenzeit stated he would like to see a bigger side setback. <br /> Leskinen stated when she was�oing through the packet, she wrote a note that given the current setback <br /> requirements, it would be difficult to construct a practical home consistent with other homes in the <br /> surrounding areas. Leskinen noted the existing home is already encroaching on the neighbors. <br /> Page 64 of 79 <br />
