MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD JULY 19, 1993 ZONING FILE #1829 - CONT. Sieff stated during the winter, the southern drive is the only access from the property. Also the neighboring property uses it for access. The lip on the road was installed by the City to help direct drainage. She offered to remove the plastic under the flower beds on the lakeside of the residence. Rowlette felt two driveways were not necessary and asked the applicant to consider more aggressive removals of hardcover. She pointed out existing 75 -250' hardcover is 39.5% and proposed is 39.9 %. Schroeder noted the City issued a Stop Work Order in February for this project. Mabusth advised a "Stop Work Order" was never issued as decks were already repaired The Inspectors observed the new construction when visiting a neighboring property. Letters were sent to the applicant advising of the need for a building permit. Sieff stated she was notified of the need for a permit after the construction was finished. Peterson inquired about the square footage of the walkway. Mabusth said it is approximately 31x 25'. Sieff asked that the application be tabled to allow her time to review possible hardcover removals. It was moved by Smith, seconded by Rowlette, to table Application #1829 for Diane Sieff, 1080 Wildhurst Trail, to allow the applicant time to reconsider additional hardcover removals and submit her best efforts to the City.
