MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday, November 20,2000 <br /> (#2636 GARY AND SUSAN CABLE, Continued) <br /> • <br /> Stoddard stated the Planning Commission tends to limit structural coverage on new construction <br /> to 15 percent and 25 percent hardcover. <br /> Hawn concurred that the 15 percent structural coverage will need to be adhered to. Hawn stated <br /> the City typically does not allow any hardcover within the 0-75' zone, noting the City has <br /> ordinances in place which permits replacement of those structures only under certain <br /> circumstances. <br /> Hawn commented she personally is unsure about what plan is being presented to the Planning <br /> Commission tonight,noting the Planning Commission is not here to design the Applicant's house <br /> and driveway. Hawn stated she would like to know exactly what hardcover the Planning <br /> Commission is being asked to consider. Hawn stated if the ice house remains,the third stall of <br /> the garage and driveway will probably not be approved. <br /> Berg inquired whether there will be a front sidewalk between the front entry and the driveway. <br /> Weinberger stated the Applicants are proposing a sidewalk. Weinberger stated the building <br /> permit does not show a sidewalk. <br /> Smith inquired whether the sidewalk is included in the 100 additional square feet of hardcover. <br /> Weinberger stated that is included in the 100 square feet. Weinberger stated the 50 feet of excess <br /> hardcover does include the ice house. <br /> Smith commented it is her opinion if the Applicants wish to keep the ice house,they may do so, • <br /> but that they will need to come back before the Planning Commission at the time the foundation <br /> of the ice house is proposed to be replaced. Smith stated typically the City does not approve <br /> replacement of foundations for structures located within the 0-75' zone. <br /> Lindquist commented in his view the ice house should be removed if the Applicants want <br /> the additional hardcover. <br /> Smith stated the decision to keep the ice house is up to the Applicants. <br /> Lindquist stated if the ice house remains, the amount of hardcover should be limited to 25 <br /> percent. <br /> Smith stated she would be in agreement with the 25 percent hardcover limit. <br /> Hawn inquired whether they need to look at top of the bluff requirements,noting there is a steep <br /> dropoff. <br /> Weinberger stated there is no bluff situation on this property. <br /> Lindquist inquired how many square feet they are over on the hardcover. <br /> • <br /> PAGE 8 <br />
