MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> Tuesday,January 22,2002 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#02-2739 Thomas and Mary Dahlquist, Continued) <br /> Rahn commented he personally does not have an issue with the location of the shed since the neighbors <br /> are not objecting to it. <br /> Mabusth noted there are no visual problems for the adjoining neighbor with the shed in that location. <br /> Hawn stated the shed being located closer than 10 feet to the property line does set a precedence. Hawn <br /> commented by code a hardship must be imposed by the layout of the land,not by one's personal <br /> circumstances. <br /> Mabusth inquired whether the deck would be a grade level deck or elevated. <br /> Dalhquist stated the deck and walkway would be at the same level as the other deck. <br /> Weinberger stated the deck on the lakeside is above a full walkout level. <br /> Mabusth inquired how access is currently gained to the deck. <br /> Dahlquist stated through a sliding glass door from the living room. <br /> Mabusth inquired what the new deck will provide access to. <br /> Dahlquist stated it would provide access from another room,with the other deck being used for grilling. <br /> Rahn noted this addition to the deck would be connecting the two decks with a walkway. <br /> Hawn inquired whether the Applicant was okay with removing the rock and plastic. <br /> Dahlquist stated he does not have a problem with removing the landscape fabric. <br /> Kluth inquired whether the deck could be reduced somewhat to meet the 25 percent standard. <br /> Dahlquist stated once the survey was completed,he did calculate the hardcover and arrived at 22.8 <br /> percent,with the addition of the deck and walkway resulting in 23.38 percent. Dahlquist stated Staff <br /> then went out and measured it and arrived at 26 or 27 percent. Dahlquist stated he is unsure how that <br /> number was arrived at. <br /> Bottenberg stated she omitted the plastic from the calculations. <br /> Dahlquist stated he did include the landscape fabric in his calculations,which amounted to 14.62 square <br /> feet for the fabric, came up with 22.82 percent for the area between 75-250'. Dahlquist stated he then <br /> added the 165 square feet for the new deck and walkway and came up with 23.38 percent. Dahlquist <br /> stated that includes the landscape fabric, which will be removed. Dahlquist stated he took the numbers <br /> off the survey. <br /> PAGE 15 <br />
