• <br />MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />HELD APRIL 19, 1993 <br />ZONING FILE #1816 - CONT. <br />Mrs. Swanson said they had hoped the Commission would view the <br />removal of the lakeside deck as such. She added they will also be <br />removing a corner of the house. She clarified that she has 5 <br />children and would not want to remove the play structure. <br />Peterson asked if the neighbor to the left objected as his views <br />would be cut off. <br />Mrs. Swanson noted that both adjacent residences are much taller, <br />and stated the neighbor has views of their drive, but this proposal <br />would not affect their front views of the lake. <br />It was moved by Schroeder, seconded by Johnson, to recommend <br />approval of Application #1816 for Kent and Susan Swanson, 3229 B <br />Casco Circle, for hardcover and setback variances to construct <br />additions to their existing residence.

She felt this location may not be feasible. <br />Johnson stated they would need to excavate the hill to accommodate <br />the garage. <br />Schroeder questioned the need for the cul -de -sac. <br />Mabusth noted it would serve at least four properties. She <br />indicated a former owner attempted to get the private easement <br />released, but upon the recommendation of his attorney, the easement <br />was maintained for future needs. <br />• Bellows expressed concern about releasing the easement.
