MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING 40 HELD JANUARY 21, 1992 ZONING FILE #1707 - CONT. Rowlette asked what effect the new shoreland regulations will have upon the property. Mabusth stated that Rhode had been cautioned that these regulations may affect his property, however she stated that the regulations may not have that much impact on general development lake properties such as this property. Rhode noted that he is still trying to sell his other house and will not proceed with the reconstruction of this house until the sale is complete. He realizes that there may be changes in the shore land regulations, and noted he is willing to take that chance. It was moved by Cohen, seconded by Moos, to recommend approval of Application #1707 for Jack Rhode, 1690 Shadywood Road, for a renewal variance to reconstruct the existing residence, based on the hardships and findings stated in past applications for this property. Ayes 6, nays 0. ( #6) #1708 & #1709 JUDSON DAYTON, 825 OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD SOUTH - VARIANCE /CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - PUBLIC HEARING 7:37 -7:50 P.M. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were acknowledged. Judson Dayton was present for this application. Mabusth explained Application #1708 involves expansion of an oversized accessory structure on the former Lyman property, which Mr. Dayton now owns. The expansion to the east side will be approximately 23'x32'. She stated that the accessory structure ordinance doesn't take into consideration properties which are larger than the maximum noted in the ordinance at 9 acres. She stated that the 5,168 s.f. proposed structure will still not exceed the total area allowed at 6,000 s.f. for all accessory structures, on the 23+ acre property. Bellows stated that the intent of the ordinance was not to promote several smaller structures on a parcel that would be 1 s.f. less than the maximum allowed, and she noted it is preferred that an owner build fewer, larger structures. She noted that this proposal is certainly within the scale of what is located on the property at present.
