MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,November 20, 2000 <br /> • (#2636 GARY AND SUSAN CABLE, Continued) <br /> Weinberger stated the total amount of hardcover proposed without including the sidewalk based <br /> on the building permit, with no driveway to the third stall of the garage, is 50 square feet over <br /> what is allowed. Weinberger stated in order to complete the driveway and sidewalk, another <br /> additional 100 square feet of hardcover would be required, which brings it up to 150 square feet <br /> over what is allowed. <br /> Smith commented the Applicant will need to decide whether he would like to keep the ice house <br /> or have the additional hardcover for the driveway and sidewalk. <br /> Nygard stated just because the foundation of the ice house has been damaged by the elements <br /> over the years,the Applicant should not be restricted from replacing that foundation in the future. <br /> Nygard stated the remainder of the structure appears to be fairly solid and the Applicant should be <br /> allowed to make improvements to the foundation if he so desires. Nygard stated he does have <br /> some concerns regarding the third stall to the garage and no driveway. <br /> There were no public comments relating to this application. <br /> Mrs. Cable commented the neighbor would like to see the ice house remain as well. <br /> Smith stated it is the responsibility of the City to protect the lakeshore by limiting what is allowed <br /> to be built within the 0-75' zone. <br /> Berg stated the City's present Code requires the building to be removed if the foundation needs <br /> to be replaced. <br /> Hawn commented the hardcover is contingent upon whether the ice house remains. <br /> Nygard stated he would like to see the hardcover remain within the 25 percent limit with or <br /> without the ice house. <br /> Smith moved to recommend approval of Application ##2636,3235 Ivy Place, granting of <br /> a hardcover variance to permit 100 square feet over the 25 percent limit,which would <br /> include a sidewalk but not a driveway in front of a third stall, for total hardcover in the <br /> amount of 3,396 square feet. NO SECOND. <br /> Hawn stated in her view since this is new construction,there is no justification for the additional <br /> hardcover. <br /> Smith inquired whether the Planning Commission would like to see the house relocated. <br /> Hawn stated she would like to see the ice house removed and their plans revised to exclude the <br /> third garage stall in order to meet the 25 percent limit. <br /> Stoddard stated in order to keep the ice house,the Applicant will need to reduce the size of the <br /> garage or house somewhat. <br /> • <br /> PAGE 9 <br />
