0 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />HELD MAY 18, 1992 <br />( #6) #1731 CLAIR ROOD, <br />2215 KENWOOD WAY - <br />VARIANCE - PUBLIC HEARING 7:30 - 7:48 P.M. <br />The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. <br />Clair Rood was present for this application. <br />Mabusth explained that the applicant was given an opportunity <br />during the conditional use permit approval process to come back and <br />add on a variance request to that application seeking approval of <br />the monuments in excess of 3 1/2'. It was determined at a prior <br />meeting that because the structures were adjacent to a right -of- <br />way, they could only be 3 1/2'. Mabusth referred to sections of <br />the code dealing with fences or walls. She stated that final <br />determination must be based on property lines resulting from lot <br />line rearrangement. We are now dealing with front /street and side <br />street yards. Applicant agreed to alter fencing to 3 1/2' in the <br />front yard area and to adjust fencing in traffic visibility area <br />to 3'. She asked the Commission if they would approve a 4 1/2' <br />high fence structure adjacent to a side street yard. The road will <br />never be upgraded to a public or private road and will only serve <br />two residences based on current zoning. <br />Johnson asked if the original intent was for the pillars to be 6' <br />high. <br />Rood stated that along Navarre Lane the poles are within the front <br />yard and will be 3 1/2' high. He stated his intent is to plant a <br />4' high hedge between the properties and wants the pillars to be <br />a little higher than the hedge. He felt that it would be <br />aesthetically pleasing to have the pillars a bit higher than the <br />hedge. <br />Rowlette asked if this is considered a fence. <br />Mabusth stated that was the recommendation or finding of the <br />Planning Commission last year. She noted the fence and wall section <br />of the code doesn't distinguish between side or rear yards adjacent <br />to streets. The Planning Commission determined that if next to a <br />public right -of -way, the height cannot exceed 3 112'. <br />Cohen asked if this was the application that Chair Kelley was <br />adamant about adhering to the height requirement of 3 1/2'. Cohen <br />asked the applicant what height he is proposing for the fence. <br />Rood said he thought the request was for a 5' high fence. <br />0 7 <br />
