MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday, August 19, 2002 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#02-2813 MARK WELCH, Continued) <br /> Smith indicated that the Commission seemed to favor the shift but had difficulty supporting the <br /> eaves and"prow". <br /> Fritzler stated that, as proposed,he could not support the extending peak or"prow", he felt the <br /> front either had to be straight across or moved back further into the house. <br /> Mabusth and Bremer felt the applicant needed to maintain a 53' setback. <br /> Rahn stated that he liked the new design. <br /> Smith stated that she liked the "prow"but wanted to see it at 53'. She questioned whether the <br /> Commission could support giving them back the original 660 s.f of hardcover. She indicated <br /> that she could see that three of the Commissioners felt no additional hardcover was warranted. <br /> Ms. Welch argued that this new home application differs from the Melin existing home <br /> application due to the investment being made and the fact that this home would not ever be <br /> allowed any decking. <br /> Bremer argued that this application could support a deck if the home being proposed were <br /> smaller. The similarity to Melin is merely that they both fall under the 1,500 s.f. lot coverage. <br /> Smith suggested the applicants table the application in order to redesign the plan,pulling back <br /> the"prow" a bit to maintain the 53' and coming back again. <br /> Smith once again asked if the Commission were willing to give a little bit on the square footage. <br /> Mabusth stated that the original home had 660 s.f of hardcover and felt it justified to hold the <br /> new residence to that figure, yet she stressed how important it was to maintain the 53' setback. <br /> Smith asked if this meant up to the 50' DNR recommendation. <br /> Fritzler and Bremer stated that they would adhere to the approved 53' and no less. <br /> Mabusth stated that she would like to know how deep the proposed overhang would be. <br /> Rahn stated that he could support the 50' setback. <br /> Ms. Welch asked the Commission to set the parameters for her and she would take them back to <br /> PAGE 16 of 28 <br />
