MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday, August 18, 2003 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#10 #03-2930 STREETER AND ASSOCIATES ON BEHALF OF RICHARD AND <br /> DELORES LITTLE, Continued) <br /> hardcover was approved in the 75'-250' zone. The owners were required to remove the <br /> landscape hardcover detailed in Resolution# 3610. <br /> Foth explained that the current applicants are proposing to construct a 22'x 25' 2-stall <br /> attached garage on existing driveway. She noted that the Planning Department Staff <br /> recommends an approval of the hardcover variances per the following: <br /> 1. The fabric and/or plastic under landscaping beds be removed as well as <br /> additional hardcover added since the 1995 variance approval which results in <br /> a total of 314 s.f. in the 0-75' zone. Currently there is 378 s.f. of hardcover within <br /> the 0-75' zone where hardcover is normally not allowed. Hardcover in this zone <br /> consists of landscaping and a portion of paved patio, stairs and landing for the 2nd <br /> story deck. <br /> 2. The 3,774 s.f.within the 75'-250' zone be removed to bring the total hardcover <br /> in the 75'-250' zone to 6,979 s.f. (39%). Plastic and/or fabric has been added to <br /> the landscaping beds since the 1995 variance where the fabric and/or plastic was <br /> required to be removed. Additionally, since that time paver walkways, deck and <br /> home bump-outs have been added causing the hardcover to increase beyond the <br /> 1995 approved levels. This 3,774 s.f. to be removed should include 3,331 s.f. of <br /> plastic and/or fabric from landscape beds and 443 s.f. of deck,pavers and etc. <br /> Chair Smith asked if Ripley could respond to the questions of removals. <br /> Having just spoken to the owner, Ripley stated that removals were being taken care of. <br /> Gaffron asked what the removals would consist of, pavers,portions of the driveway, etc. <br /> Ripley stated that the applicant would accept staff's recommendation. <br /> Mr. Little stepped forward and pointed out that the paver walkway was the only access to <br /> the rear yard. <br /> Gaffron recommended the applicant consider removals from the driveway, approximately <br /> 3' wide 100' long, as well as, a reduction of the paver pathway. <br /> Fritzler suggested the applicant reduce the size of the deck and paver pathway. <br /> Little stated that he could accept removing 1 1/2' from either side of the driveway. <br /> PAGE 15 of 30 <br />
