MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday, October 19,2015 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Gaffron stated they would have had the ability to replace it in kind if the garage still existed today, which <br /> means no higher or wider. Gaffron stated when the garage came down, the prior owner had a year to <br /> replace it, which they did not, so now the newer owner must start from scratch. <br /> Lemke stated if the garage is moved forward, there would be less damage to the trees as well. <br /> Landgraver stated the Planning Commission is not in a position to redesign the garage, but that it appears <br /> the consensus of the Planning Commission is that changes can be made to the location and size of the <br /> garage. Landgraver stated he does acknowledge the hardcover is being reduced but the neighbors are <br /> opposed to the new garage. Landgraver stated the Planning Commission can approve the application, <br /> deny it, or table the application to give the applicant time to redesign his garage. Landgraver stated he is <br /> hearing from the Planning Commission that the consensus is to deny it as proposed. <br /> Schoenzeit stated the applicants have not exhausted all the options to minimize the impact to the <br /> neighbors. <br /> Lappen stated attaching it to the house is extremely more expensive. <br /> McGrann stated if the applicants and neighbors can reach some agreement,those tend to have much better <br /> reception in general by the Planning Commission. McGrann stated having this large of a garage so much <br /> forward will be an issue the way it is proposed currently and that the applicant could table it to look at <br /> constructing a single-car garage, which might satisfy some of tlle neighbor's concerns. <br /> Lappen stated that is an option as well. Lappen requested his application be tabled so he can redesign it. <br /> Schoenzeit moved, McGrann seconded,to table Application No. 15-3769,Chris Lappen and Kallyn <br /> Bialowas,3409 East Lake Street.
