MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Tuesday,January 18,2005 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#05-3079 Nicole and Peter Thomas, Continued) <br /> Thomas stated the reason the deck was designed in that location is because the house is constructed on a <br /> steep bluff and that location limits the height of the deck. <br /> Rahn commented the deck could be reduced to four feet and be considered a landing to service the door. <br /> Fritzler stated in his view the deck does not increase the safety. <br /> Jurgens noted there currently is a door approximately 10 feet from where the new door is being proposed. <br /> Jurgens inquired whether there are any walls dividing those two areas. <br /> Thomas stated it is all one room. <br /> Jurgens stated in his view the location of that other door tends to diminish the need for the deck. <br /> Thomas stated the location of the new door is a straighter line to the lakeshore. <br /> Jurgens moved,Fritzler seconded,to recommend denial of Application#05-3079, 1385 Orono Lane, <br /> a request for a hardcover variance within the 0-75' zone and a lake setback variance. <br /> VOTE: Ayes 3,Nays 3,Leslie,Bremer, and Winkey Opposed. <br /> Rahn suggested the applicant submit a more detailed drawing to the City Council. Rahn stated he voted <br /> in favor of recommending denial because of the location of the other door and because he is not in favor <br /> of swapping structural coverage for hardcover. <br /> Thomas inquired whether a French door in the location of the chimney could open up to a small balcony <br /> without stairs. <br /> Rahn noted the Planning Commission has already voted on his application and that the applicant could <br /> suggest that to the Council. Rahn inquired whether it would be necessary to submit the revised plans to <br /> the Planning Commission. <br /> Gundlach stated the applicant could submit a revised plan prior to the Council meeting,which would <br /> enable Staff to make the appropriate calculations. Gundlach requested the drawings be scaled to allow <br /> Staff to verify height. <br /> OLD BUSINESS <br /> #3 04-2987 HASHEM ABUKHADRA, 1745 FOX STREET—REVISED SKETCH PLAN, <br /> 6:27 p.m.—6:57 p.m. <br /> Mark Gronbeck, Surveyor, was present on behalf of the Applicant. <br /> PAGE 4 <br />
