MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday, March 17, 2003 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#03-2876 SEVIE LANNING, Continued) <br /> While neighbors' comments are appreciated, Sansevere stated that they are not the <br /> hardship. <br /> Stanton indicated that he would like to see new construction on this site. <br /> Based on a mere footprint, Gaffron questioned where doorways, landings, sidewalks, and <br /> the overlooked details would be placed. He cautioned the Commission to not overlook <br /> these details when forced to look at the big picture, as in this case. He felt there were too <br /> many variables present to approve all the details included as part of the proposal. <br /> Chair Smith reiterated the necessity to table this application and allow the applicant the <br /> opportunity to come back. <br /> The broker stated that the applicant could not be assured that the buyer was still interested <br /> at this point. <br /> Berg indicated that the buyer should have been present to make his position known or put <br /> some thought into what he wanted. <br /> Hawn stated that, unfortunately for the applicant and buyer, the process the City goes <br /> through relies on a specific set of plans to base its recommendations. <br /> Berg moved, Hawn seconded, to table Application #03-2876, Sevie Lanning,3329 <br /> Crystal Bay Road, a request for variances to construct a new residence on the <br /> property.
