MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 21, 1991 <br />0 #1682 - CONT. <br />Johnson felt that this is a very substandard lot with many of <br />issues to deal with. He felt the garage request is reasonable, <br />but felt the adjoining slab should not be allowed. <br />Bellows noted that a hardship for the garage is the storage of <br />construction equipment. <br />Brickley noted that is correct. <br />Rowlette noted that no matter what is proposed, it will still end <br />up with a substandard setback. <br />Gail Naffus, Casco Point Road, and a friend of the applicant, <br />noted that the applicant is not asking too much and is only <br />asking for storage that everyone needs. She noted that the <br />garage is in the exact same spot as the previous garage and shed. <br />It was moved by Johnson, seconded by Chair Kelley, to recommend <br />approval of Application #1682 for Christine Brickley, 3262 North <br />Shore Drive, for a lot line setback variance and a hardcover <br />variance to construct a garage on the existing slab with the <br />provision that the garage be constructed not larger than 24'x32' <br />on the northern most portion of the slab and the remaining 8' of <br />• the slab to be removed. Ayes 6, nays 0. <br />( #4) #1683 ROBERT F. SUESS, <br />2590 WATERTOWN ROAD - <br />PRELIMINARY CLASS III SUBDIVISION - <br />CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING 7:51 -8:15 P.M. <br />T.J. Haislet was present for this application. He noted that the <br />application was tabled the last time requesting submittal of a <br />topographic map to review drainage. <br />Gaffron noted that the engineer based his recommendation on <br />knowing that the property may someday be further subdivided. <br />Cook is recommending that there may be some flexibility in <br />totally finishing the retaining pond at this point, that drainage <br />along Watertown and the east lot line be completed now, and <br />suggesting that drainage in the Hackberry neighborhood would have <br />to be reviewed. Cook will have to address ponding in the <br />northeast corner after a drainage plan has been submitted. <br />Chair Kelley asked if an extension has been considered of the <br />road to the north. <br />Gaffron noted that staff has sketched a conceptual plan which <br />shows a more viable option being connection to the west. <br />• Haislet asked how the Commission felt about a private drive. He <br />noted the applicant would grant the road outlot, but is <br />requesting only a private drive until further development, with a <br />homeowners association to maintain the drive. <br />5 <br />
