, MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,August 17,2015 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Curtis indicated they did with the exception of the garage addition. Curtis stated she is not aware of how <br /> far back it tapers in or whether it meets the 10-foot setback,but that it is her belief it was required to be <br /> offset slightly. Curtis stated at the time of that application there was discussion back in 2007 similar to <br /> what is contained in Staffls report relating to fire code and setback and that the code has changed since <br /> then. Curtis indicted she is not sure if there were any other parameters that played into that decision to <br /> push it back. <br /> Leskinen stated she is inclined to approve it since it is not further encroaching into the 75-foot setback or <br /> further out to the side. <br /> Landgraver stated he tends to agree with Chair Leskinen and that this is similar to what has already been <br /> done down the street. Landgraver noted there is little to no wiggle room given the road. <br /> Schwingler stated he hates to increase the hardcover when it is already way over. <br /> Leskinen stated that is why she was looking for ways to mitigate the hardcover but that in her view there <br /> does not appear to be any place where hardcover can be reduced on the lot. <br /> Berg indicated she does not have a problem with the request. <br /> Landgraver moved,Berg seconded,to recommend approval of Application No. 15-3767,Jon <br /> Ressler,3683 North Shore Drive,granting of hardcover,structural coverage,average setback,lake <br /> setback,and side setback variances,subject to Planning Staff recommendations and subject to the <br /> submittal of an accurate hardcover calculation for the 0-75 foot zone prior to the Council meeting. <br /> VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 1,Lemke Opposed. <br /> 4. #15-3768 MICHAEL AND LISA LARSON,AMEND B-1 USES TO ALLOW DOG <br /> KENNELS/DOG DAY CARE,7:27 P.M.—7:49 P.M. <br /> Michael and Lisa Larson,Applicants,were present. <br /> Barnhart stated the City has received a request from some prospective business owners requesting to <br /> amend the B-1 zoning district to allow dog grooming, dog kennels, and boarding in the retail sales(B-1) <br /> zoning district. The applicants would like to open a dog boarding, day care, and grooming facility at <br /> 3596 Shoreline Drive. Under current zoning,those uses are not permitted. <br /> Barnhart indicated he has included a map of the B-1 zoning districts in the Planning Commission's packet <br /> and noted the majority of them are located in the Navarre area. <br /> Barnhart stated if a given business is listed somewhere in the Code,that means typically the City Council <br /> has made the decision to allow that use in that particular zone. If it is not expressively listed,the City <br /> may make a judgment call on whether it is intended or similar to another use. The closest use Staff could <br /> find was dog kennels in the B-5 zoning district. In working with the applicants,they do not feel kennels <br /> is consistent with their use given their business model that they are proposing. <br /> As a result,the applicants are proposing an amendment that defines their business and allows it by <br /> conditional use permit in the B-1 zoning district. The applicants' proposed uses are dog boarding, dog <br /> Page 9 of 43 <br />
