MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 21, 1991 . ( #10) #1692 BRUCE W. ENGELSMA, 990 PARTENWOOD ROAD - VARIANCES - PUBLIC HEARING 9:12 -9:23 P.M. • The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing was noted. Bruce Engelsma was present. Gaffron explained this is a request for lakeshore setback and 0- 75' hardcover variances to construct additions to the existing residence. Engelsma indicated the reason for the proposal is due to his expanding family. He noted that they propose to add a family room area, and because of existing driveway problems, he proposes renovation to the garage and raising the elevation of the garage to reduce the problems. He stated that the house is primarily built within the 0 -75' zone. Bellows felt that absent a grading plan, it is hard to tell if the improvements will work. She felt a grading and water management plan should be submitted prior to issuance of the permit. Engelsma felt there is nowhere else to locate the addition and they have proposed removal of approximately 500' of driveway. It was moved by Cohen, seconded by Moos, to recommend approval of Application #1692 for Bruce W. Engelsma of 990 Partenwood Road, approving lakeshore setback and 0 -75' hardcover variances to construct additions to the existing residence, based on the fact that the applicant has made an effort to reduce hardcover by reducing the driveway size. Ayes 6, nays 0. ( #11) #1693 ALBERT D. HANSER, 1685 FOX STREET - A) VARIANCE TO MORATORIUM ORDINANCE #96, 2ND SERIES - PUBLIC HEARING 9:25 -9:26 P.M.
