MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,July 16,2001 <br /> (#01-2690 John A. Eiden,Continued) <br /> Eiden commented that he was from Louisiana where 50%replacement was allowed. He intended to <br /> replace only 50% but found rotten wood. He used the original footings and replaced the deck in the <br /> original footprint. <br /> Smith noted that the application was essentially a replacement deck. <br /> Hawn and Lindquist commented that the Planning Commission has been fairly consistent in allowing <br /> deck replacement. <br /> Hawn expressed concern with the building in the right-of-way. Eiden commented that it was <br /> originally an ice house and is currently used as a guest house with no plumbing. <br /> Hawn asked if it were possible to move the building within the property lines. Eiden responded that <br /> it would not be worth it. <br /> Mabusth asked if the Applicant had considered the permit process for use of the unimproved right- <br /> of-way. Eiden responded that he was not aware of that process. <br /> Lindquist asked if the Planning Commission would approve use of the unimproved right-of-way. <br /> The Commissioners did not think such a request would be approved. <br /> Weinberger commented that the previous owner had started some type of request to use the right-of- <br /> way in 1995 but did not complete that request, and he suggested continuing with the permitting <br /> process. There was much activity in 1991 when the building was completely remodeled and a deck <br /> added, and then again in 1995 when the property was for sale. <br /> Hawn suggested the Applicant continue to move forward with the right-of-way issue. <br /> Lindquist moved,Smith seconded,to recommend approval of Application#01-2690, <br /> John A. Eiden,330 Big Island,granting approval of after-the-fact hardcover and structural <br /> variances to permit replacement of the lakeside deck at 330 Big Island. <br /> VOTE: Ayes 7,Nays 0. <br /> (#2) #01-2691 J.
