MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday, September 15, 2003 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#11 #03-2944 JONATHON MENTH, Continued) <br /> Menth indicated that he would prefer to move forward this evening in an effort to complete <br /> his project before winter. <br /> Bremer reiterated that she would support the staff recommendation. <br /> Mabusth agreed, reminding the Commission that the applicant does not exceed his <br /> structural coverage allowance, even though his hardcover might be excessive. <br /> Chair Smith stated that whatever the dimensions of the deck, the patio must be cut back to <br /> be in line with the deck. <br /> Bremer and Zugschwert felt 10'X26' was acceptable, while Rahn, Chair Smith, and Hawn <br /> felt 8'X26' was more acceptable. Fritzler recommended a 6'X26' deck based on assessor's <br /> records. <br /> Mabusth reiterated that the application was not a structural question; therefore, there <br /> should be little to deter approval of the 10'X26' deck, and reduction in kind to the patio <br /> below. She questioned what other hardcover could be removed, since the applicant had <br /> already removed railroad ties in the 0-75'. <br /> There were no public comments. <br /> Mabusth moved,Bremer seconded, to recommend Approval of Application #03-2944, <br /> Jonathon Menth,2930 Casco Point Road, granting approval of a 10'X26' deck based <br /> on the finding that the applicant had removed 512 s.f. of railroad ties from the 0-75', <br /> subject to the patio beneath being removed to be in line with the new deck, thus <br /> resulting in a hardcover reduction, per staff recommendations. VOTE: Ayes 6,Nays <br /> 1, Fritzler dissenting. <br /> Fritzler referred to his earlier comments for denial. <br /> (#12) #03-2946 CLIFFORD L.
