MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 21, 1991 (08) #1689 TERRY SADLER, 1396 BALDUR PARK ROAD - VARIANCES - PUBLIC HEARING 9:05 -9:05 P.M. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing was noted. Mrs. Sadler and Rod Lund were present. Gaffron explained this is a request for a side setback variance to construct a three - season porch, replacing an existing deck. They are also requesting a hardcover variance. Pre - existing hardcover is 39.6 %. He noted that applicants were allowed a porous drive in 1983 to offset hardcover percentages, but found the drive to be difficult to maintain and the drive was paved. Lund explained they were about to start construction when the Building Inspector noted the property was over the allowed hardcover percentages. Chair Kelley asked if the deck could be removed to compensate for the additional hardcover from the driveway. Rowlette pointed out that even if the drive were gravel, it still would be hardcover. • Mrs. Sadler noted the deck and siding had water damage and they wished to replace it with a three - season porch. Rowlette noted there is no way to reduce the size of the drive. It was moved by Rowlette, seconded by Johnson, to recommend approval of Application 41689 for Terry Sadler, 1396 Baldur Park Road, approving a side yard setback and hardcover variance to allow construction of a three - season porch, replacing an existing deck. Ayes 5, nays 1. Bellows voted nay. (#9) 441690 WILLIAM POGUE, 1991 FAGERNESS POINT ROAD - APPEALS - PUBLIC HEARING 9:11 -9:13 P.M. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing was noted.
