MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />0 HELD AUGUST 16, 1993 <br />( #9) #1850 JAMES SPINNER, <br />940 NORTH ARM DRIVE - <br />VARIANCES - PUBLIC HEARING 9:31 TO 9:55 P.M. <br />James Spinner was present. <br />Mabusth explained that applicant proposes a 12'x22' garage stall addition to the existing attached <br />garage. It will be placed over existing hardcover. The impact will be minimal on lakeshore <br />views of adjacent residences. Applicants' contractor did not provide complete hardcover facts. <br />Nolan pointed out a concrete patio about 6 or 8' which runs along the length of the addition <br />which was not shown on the hardcover fact sheet. <br />Spinner answered there would be a water problem in the basement if removed. <br />Mabusth stated that would be about 222 s. f. added to the 75-250'. <br />Chair Schroeder asked if he thought about the pool area or any other areas that can be removed. <br />Spinner said the pool area has crushed rock and a small slab is tilted out against the crushed rock <br />. which is needed for drainage. <br />Mabusth explained if the crushed rock is placed on existing grade, it isn't counted as hardcover. <br />Nolan asked if the sidewalk could be narrowed to be the width of a traditional sidewalk and be <br />kept almost under your overhang. Would you consider removing sidewalk up to the garage. <br />Spinner said he could do that but the problem is the pad at grade. There is some debris on the <br />stairs right now and part of it is crushed rock and when you get back up it becomes level. <br />Nolan inquired if it could be removed without substantial erosion. <br />Spinner said he isn't sure what is under there. <br />Chair Schroeder asked what is supporting that pad now. <br />Spinner answered it is timbers which were present when he bought the house 15 years ago and <br />the asphalt driveway has been there since the house was built approximately 25 years. <br />0 14 <br />
