MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> February 21, 2001 <br /> (#01-2661 Thomas and Ingrid Anderson, Continued) <br /> Hawn commented in her view the height of the structure may impact the neighbor's view of the <br /> lake. <br /> Mrs. Anderson stated it should not impact the neighbor's view since there is not a window on that <br /> side of their house. <br /> Gaffron stated there should be a minimal impact to the average lakeshore setback. <br /> Kluth inquired whether any variance would be required for the proposed deck. <br /> Gaffron stated the existing deck is being replaced. <br /> Anderson stated behind the proposed garage there is a large section of driveway with a <br /> 12' by 12' dog kennel being located on it. Anderson indicated there should be some pictures <br /> included in the Planning Commission's packet which depict the dog kennel. Currently there is a <br /> six foot screen fence which screens the dog kennel from the street and from the adjoining property <br /> owner. Anderson stated they are proposing to remove that portion of the driveway and reduce the <br /> size of the dog kennel. Anderson indicated it is not located within the 0-75' setback. <br /> Mabusth inquired whether the existing storage shed is necessary. <br /> Anderson indicated the shed is structurally sound and is necessary for storage. Anderson stated the <br /> deck at the present time is in a deteriorating condition and needs to be replaced for safety reasons. <br /> Anderson stated they have a limited amount of storage space available in the house at the current <br /> time and are attempting to create additional storage space by adding the garage and second story but <br /> are still in need of the storage shed. <br /> Mrs. Anderson stated they utilize the shed for storage of their dock and boating equipment. <br /> Hawn inquired what the concrete slab located in the back of the house is for. <br /> Mrs. Anderson stated that is a patio. Anderson indicated the house is a walkout with a sliding glass <br /> door. <br /> Mabusth stated they are attempting to look at ways the amount of total hardcover on the property <br /> could be reduced. <br /> Gaffron noted the amount of total hardcover on this property is being reduced from 42 percent to <br /> 40 percent as a result of this application. Gaffron stated if a turnaround area is added, that would <br /> result in the hardcover being approximately 41 percent. <br /> Kluth inquired whether the need for a turnaround area has been discussed with Staff <br /> Anderson stated he did discuss that issue with Weinberger, but indicated that they currently do not <br /> have a problem with backing out of the driveway. <br /> Gaffron stated there are a number of houses in this area with the same situation. <br /> PAGE 8 <br />
