MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> Tuesday,February 19,2002 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#01-2706 Richard and Jane Stark,Continued) <br /> Peterson stated at the time they purchased the property, they understood there was a very definite spot <br /> for the house, and they designed the house to meet that specific building pad. Peterson stated in <br /> December the wetland issue with the building pad came up,which reduced the size of the building pad <br /> by approximately one-third. Peterson stated they attempted to relocate the house,but the situation with <br /> the sanitary sewer did not allow them to relocate the house very far. <br /> Rahn stated in his view the garage could possibly be relocated out of the wetland area if the garage were <br /> redesigned and attached to the home. <br /> Peterson stated the garage was stacked to lessen the footprint. Peterson stated due to the elevations of <br /> the land,the garage was located slightly away from the house. <br /> Rahn stated in his view a four-car garage is not a necessity. <br /> Hawn stated the Applicants in her view have done a fairly good job at designing the house and garage <br /> given the fact that they were unaware of the wetland constraints. <br /> Kluth commented they were also faced with the laws being changed. Kluth noted they are doing <br /> wetland mitigation. Kluth stated he has a problem with constructing the driveway in its present <br /> location. <br /> Carter stated they will avoid constructing the driveway over the lift station. <br /> Mabusth noted the Planning Commission does not have a copy of the wetland delineation,and inquired <br /> what type of a wetland is on this property. <br /> Weinberger stated it is a Type 3. <br /> Mabusth commented it would be nice if the City could give a little leeway on the 15 feet from the sewer <br /> line to the residence. <br /> Weinberger stated Staff can review that prior to this application going to Council. <br /> Fritzler stated in his view the garage should be located a little closer to the house,with only one curb cut <br /> being allowed. <br /> Kluth agreed with Fritzler. <br /> Rahn inquired how the garage would be supported in the wetlands. <br /> Peterson stated there would be pilings in the wetlands. <br /> Rahn commented he personally feels the land alteration on this site is excessive and that it was designed <br /> to the old standards. <br /> Mabusth inquired whether a preliminary grading plan has been completed. <br /> PAGE 11 <br />
