MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday, October 20, 2003 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#7) #03-2934 JASON BLISS, 3445 CRYSTAL BAY ROAD, Continued <br /> Chair Smith asked the Commission if they were comfortable with the side street setback <br /> request. <br /> Mabusth, Chair Smith, and Hawn replied that they found the setback acceptable. <br /> Rahn stated that the stoop is a legal encroachment with the roof overhang encroaching 2'. <br /> There were no public comments. <br /> Mabusth believed that the revised deck should not exceed 8'X12' for a home this size. <br /> Hawn suggested the applicants decide the shape for the deck as long as it did not exceed <br /> 120 s.f. <br /> Hawn moved, Chair Smith seconded, to recommend approval of Application #03- <br /> 2934, Jason Bliss,3445 Crystal Bay Road, granting lot area and width variances, side <br /> street setback to the west, hardcover variance to allow for 28.7% including the deck <br /> of no more than 120 s.f. meeting all setbacks, and walkway of 3' wide in order to <br /> construct a new home on the property. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br /> (#8) #03-2951 JUDITH AND JAMES PIERPONT, 1849 WEST FARM ROAD, LOT <br /> LINE REARRANGEMENT, 8:04—8:11 P.M. <br /> The Applicants were absent; however, a neighbor wished to make public comment. <br /> Benjamin Whitten, 1889 West Farm Road, and his daughter Alison, voiced their <br /> opposition to the proposed lot line rearrangement. After moving to the neighborhood in <br /> 1996, Mr. Whitten was comfortable in the knowledge that the minimum 2 acre size lots <br /> would preclude anyone from building a house directly to the east of their home. He <br /> pointed out that the applicant has, not only, one residence on the site,but an occupied <br /> carriage house. Whitten stated that he was concerned that the lot would no longer be <br /> conforming and that the additional runoff created by the construction would have an <br /> adverse impact on his property. He indicated that he had bought an easement to that <br /> property and that the Shaw home with the barn and silo have been the focal point of the <br /> neighborhood. In addition, Alison Whitten added that the construction would be an <br /> extraordinary inconvenience to them and the neighbors. <br /> Mr. Whitten stated that he attempted to contact Mr. Pierpont to no avail and did not get a <br /> reply to his message. <br /> Chair Smith thanked the Whitten's for their comments and assured them that their <br /> concerns would be duly noted for the record. <br /> Page 15 of 29 <br />
