ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD JULY 15, 1991 <br />( #10)ZONING FILE 11665- MCCARTHY CONTINUED <br />,approval, of the existing deck, and the construction of an <br />• additional stall onto the existing garage." <br />Bellows said, "I hesitate to intensify, which in this case <br />means to convert non - structural to structural hardcover, this <br />property in any way. I would recommend denial of the request to <br />add anything on to the existing garage." <br />Cohen concurred with Johnson, though he was sympathetic to <br />the Architect's attempts to create a visually pleasing structure. <br />He did believe that the applicant is entitled to a two -car <br />garage. <br />Rowlette also agreed that the applicant should have .a <br />two -car garage. She was unsure, however, whether any other <br />construction alternatives would result in hardcover reductions <br />for the property as is now proposed. <br />Schroeder asked Mularoni if he had given any consideration <br />to designing a long garage which would require one car to be <br />parked ahead of the other, rather than side by side. <br />Mularoni stated that the thought had crossed his mind, but <br />such a configuration would eliminate a large portion of <br />landscaping, and given the minimal setback from the neighboring <br />property on that side, he gave it no further consideration. <br />Schroeder stated that what Mr. tularoni is proposing is more <br />*pleasing to the eye than what one would view in the case of a <br />typical two -car garage with a single door. He suggested that he <br />would favor the proposed plan more if the middle walkway section <br />could be narrowed. <br />Moos indicated that she too favored a two -car garage, but <br />that the proposed structure is too overwhelming. <br />Kelley suggested tabling this application to provide the <br />opportunity for the applicant and his Architect to revise their <br />plan. <br />It was the Planning Commission's consensus that the existing <br />deck could be replaced with a deck of equal size. <br />Bellows recommended that Mularoni work with Staff on the <br />issues of the well and fire protection. <br />It was moved by Kelley, seconded by Johnson, to table <br />application #1665. All voted aye. Motion carried. <br />At 8:55 p.m., Michial Mularoni and Thomas McCarthy returned <br />to the meeting, and asked the Planning Commission if they would <br />0 -13 - <br />
