MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,July 16,2001 <br /> (#01-2691 J. Eric and Christine Menge,Continued) <br /> Berg was in concurrence with other members in maintaining a 30' setback from the side lot line,with <br /> more of the additions to the back of the house. She was also concerned with headlights shining in <br /> the neighbor's house. <br /> Menge stated one of the neighbor's concerns was the noise caused by driving into the garage. He felt <br /> by having a longer driveway,the noise issue was increased. <br /> Blumentritt requested that the application be tabled to provide an opportunity to revise the proposed <br /> plans. <br /> Lindquist indicated that if the proposal were 30' or more from the lot line and the structure is <br /> reasonable for the property,the Planning Commission may vote in favor of such a plan. <br /> Blumentritt stated they would look again at the design of the garage addition but would probably be <br /> approaching a 25' setback. <br /> Lindquist reiterated that he was looking at a 30' setback. If additional space is needed, going back <br /> into the lot should be considered. <br /> Blumentritt responded that the topography of the lot may play a part in the steepness of a driveway. <br /> He stated the purpose of the variance is to look at the hardships on the site, and determine a <br /> reasonable solution. <br /> Hawn moved,Smith seconded,to table Application#01-2691,J.
