MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,July 16,2001 <br /> (#01-2697 Larry And Sharon Gehl,Continued) <br /> Gaffron stated he could not predict future plans but did not think an 8', 10' or 15' setback would <br /> impact the City's use of the right-of-way. The applicants may have a greater issue with how close <br /> they want to be to a right-of-way with an unpredictable future use. <br /> Hawn thought that it may be unfair to ask for a 10' setback since there is already an encroachment <br /> with the house existing at the 8' setback. Although she would prefer the 10' setback, requiring it <br /> creates an irregular shape for the house. <br /> Mabusth indicated she agreed with other Planning Commission members and would allow an 8' <br /> setback. <br /> Smith suggested an option may be to angle the house from the existing corner at the 8' setback to <br /> meet a 10' setback at the opposite garage corner. Lindquist did not think the change was important <br /> enough for 2'. <br /> Stoddard moved,Berg seconded,to recommend approval of Application#01-2697, <br /> Larry and Sharon Gehl, 1825 Concordia Street,granting approval of variances to permit an 8' <br /> side setback where a 15' side setback is required for a two-story addition to the house, <br /> including a garage and second floor living space above the garage. <br /> Ayes 7,Nays 0. <br /> (#5) #01-2693 DAVID AND MARYANN MAISER,2700 SHADYWOOD ROAD, <br /> VARIANCES,8:10 p.m. —8:33 p.m. <br /> David and Maryann Maiser,the Applicants,were present. <br /> The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. <br /> Weinberger stated the application is a three-part request requiring separate variance approvals as <br /> follows: <br /> 1) The addition of an attached garage(23'x 28.8')to the house requires a variance to <br /> encroach into the 75' lakeshore setback. <br /> 2) Replacement of a deck(9'x 28')that had collapsed from snowfall requires a <br /> hardcover variance because it is within 75' of the lakeshore. <br /> 3) The addition of a three-season porch on the south side of the house with an attached <br /> deck requires a hardcover variance because the addition is over the 25% allowed <br /> hardcover in the 75-250' setback. <br /> The property is located in the LR-1B zoning district requiring one acre. The property is <br /> approximately 3/4 acre and was originally developed in the 1960's. The detached garage was added <br /> in 1974 and met the standards at the time it was built. <br /> Weinberger stated that the proposed additions include remodeling the existing attached garage to <br /> living space, an equal replacement of the previously existing deck, and a porch/deck addition.
