MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,May 16,2005 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#05-3110 Thomas and Sheila Browne, Continued) <br /> Browne indicated they are in need of the turnaround,noting they are unable to back out of their driveway <br /> onto the road due to safety concerns. <br /> Winkey noted a portion of the turnaround is located outside of the 0-75' zone. <br /> Curtis stated the driveway is difficult to maneuver. <br /> Jurgens concurred that the driveway is difficult to maneuver. Jurgens inquired whether the applicants <br /> would like to still proceed with the garage. <br /> Browne stated he would prefer to proceed forward with the dormer. <br /> Rahn commented the building pad is limited and that the addition of the garage might be too much for <br /> this lot. <br /> Jurgens moved,Rahn seconded,to recommend approval of the lake setback variance in order to <br /> construct a second floor dormer,but recommended denial of the lake setback and hardcover <br /> variances in order to construct a garage addition for the property located at 760 Brown Road <br /> South. VOTE: Ayes 4,Nays 2,Bremer and Kempf Opposed. <br /> Bremer stated she would be in favor of the garage addition if there were reductions in hardcover. <br /> 7. #05-3111 WATER STREET HOMES,LCC ON BEHALF OF RANDALL AND <br /> SARA HOGAN,2260 FOX STREET, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND VARIANCE, <br /> 9:18 P.M.— 10:06 P.M. <br /> Rick Carlson,Water Street Homes,was present. <br /> Gaffron stated the applicants are requesting a variance for an accessory structure located nearer the front <br /> or street lot line than the principal residence structure and a variance to the allowed footprint area for an <br /> oversize accessory structure. Additionally, a conditional use permit is requested for plumbing in an <br /> accessory structure that includes a toilet. <br /> Gaffron indicated the oversize accessory structure section of the zoning code does not specifically address <br /> whether the lot area for purposes of establishing the allowed footprint area of accessory buildings is to <br /> include or exclude wetlands. Therefore,based on the definition of lot area in the zoning code,wetland is <br /> excluded and the non-wetland area within the property,not including the separate outlot driveway <br /> corridor, is about 2.7 acres,which would allow an accessory structure with a footprint of 1,200 square <br /> feet. If the total area of the lot and outlot including wetland is used,the lot at 4.985 acres would allow a <br /> 2,000 square foot footprint. <br /> PAGE 22 <br />
