MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday, October 21,2002 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#6) #02-2823 RONALD CLOUD, 3460 NORTH SHORE DRIVE, Continued <br /> upkeep the shed and believed the City was using political blackmail in order to force removals of <br /> things they didn't like here and elsewhere. <br /> Mabusth pointed out that the City does not have the authority to simply go out and randomly ask <br /> people to remove things until they come in to ask the City for something, as in this case. <br /> Chair Smith argued that, in reality, the process is a give and take between the City and residents. <br /> Cloud stated that what he really would like is his three season porch, and is willing to give this <br /> concept up, as well as remove the lakeside shed by May 15, 2003, if he could have a large <br /> lockbox. <br /> Weinberger explained that the lockbox size allowed is roughly 5'X4'X4', for a total of 20 s.f. <br /> Cloud stated that he could purchase a premade lockbox 5'X10'X 3.5' if the Commission would <br /> allow it. <br /> Fritzler maintained that the total square footage cannot exceed 20 s.f. and this box would be 50 <br /> s.f. <br /> Chair Smith inquired why the removal would not take place until May 15, 2003. <br /> Cloud indicated that he had already removed his dock and lakeside items, which are stored for <br /> the winter inside the shed, and he would prefer to remove the shed after he put the dock back in <br /> the spring. He added that the deck would not likely be built until spring anyway. <br /> Weinberger suggested the Commission recommend that the permit be issued in the spring, after <br /> the removal of the shed. <br /> Chair Smith questioned the status of the rear side shed meeting a 3' setback from the property <br /> line. She asked what the structural coverage calculation would be if the lakeside shed were <br /> removed, the deck replaced, and wondered what would become of the rear side shed. <br /> Since it would not add to structural or hard cover, Cloud suggested that he could put the <br /> 5'X10'X 3.5' lockbox under his deck, and remove the lakeside shed altogether. <br /> Weinberger indicated that this would be allowed. <br /> Fritzler asked if the stairway could be incorporated into the deck. <br /> Cloud pointed out that the deck is merely 5.5' off the ground and it would be both difficult to <br /> allow for proper headroom, as well as, it would take away too much square footage from the <br /> small deck. <br /> Page 7 <br />
