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 Ann Dahlquist,Continued) <br /> stated he looked at the hardship in relation to the other choices they have and the impact it would have <br /> on the neighborhood. <br /> Kluth inquired whether they would be permitted to add another building to the property without a <br /> variance. <br /> Mabusth stated they could. Mabusth noted once a building exceeds 1,000 square feet,they would be <br /> subject to far more restrictions. Mabusth inquired whether the garage in 1991 was granted a setback <br /> variance. <br /> Mrs. Smith stated they were. <br /> Mabusth commented she would hate to see a third structure on this property. <br /> Aandahl stated she did discuss the size of the garage with the Applicants earlier today, and they would <br /> be agreeable to reducing the size of the garage to 1,000 square feet if necessary. <br /> It was the consensus of the Planning Commission that they would prefer the building not exceed 1,000 <br /> square feet. <br /> Hawn stated in her view the proposed kitchen is perfectly acceptable. Hawn inquired whether this <br /> project has been discussed with the neighbors. <br /> Mrs. Smith stated the one house is vacant,which is owned by the hospital, and the person who resides <br /> on the other property is approximately 92 years old and is apparently very ill. <br /> Berg moved,Mabusth seconded,to recommend approval of Application#02-2742,Douglas and <br /> Roban Smith,4195 Highwood Road,granting of a variance to average lakeshore setback to <br /> permit a 25-foot encroachment,with the understanding the size of the garage will not exceed <br /> 1,000 square feet.
