MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,May 16,2005 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#05-3112 Loren and Stacey Schoenzeit, Continued) <br /> lot,but that the large boulevard negates the massing appearance on the lot. Schoenzeit stated they are <br /> proposing to eliminate the circular driveway,which would help with the drainage and add green space. <br /> Gundlach noted the City Engineer has not reviewed the drainage plan. <br /> Bremer noted the Planning Commission is not able to approve the lot line rearrangement without the <br /> easement. <br /> Gaffron stated the location of the sewer has value in terms of where the house is located because it limits <br /> the location of the residence but that it has no other trading value. <br /> Kempf stated in his view the location of the sewer line does not negatively impact the value of the <br /> property. <br /> Schoenzeit stated without the lot line rearrangement, the building pad of the lot is restricted. <br /> Rahn inquired how close the garage is to the side yard setback. <br /> Schoenzeit stated the garage is located ten feet from the side yard setback at its closest point and that the <br /> proposed house is located closer to the side yard setback due to the location of the sewer line. Schoenzeit <br /> stated they would like to proceed forward to the Council. <br /> Rahn noted a hardcover variance might be required for the neighboring property if there is a lot line <br /> rearrangement. <br /> Gundlach stated there are no past hardcover approval resolutions on file for the neighboring property <br /> involved in the lot line rearrangement request. <br /> Schoenzeit noted the neighbor is compliant in the 0-75' zone and remains compliant in the 250'-500' <br /> zone. Schoenzeit stated the hardcover itself would not change. <br /> Gundlach noted the neighbor's structural coverage remains the same,but given the reduction in lot area, <br /> they would need to make a request for a hardcover variance. <br /> Winkey inquired whether there have been other instances where a lot line rearrangement has required one <br /> party to reduce hardcover. <br /> Schoenzeit noted the change in that area is negligible. <br /> Gundlach stated Staff has a concern granting a hardcover variance on the neighboring lot. <br /> Kempf suggested language could be added to the variance stating why the hardcover variance was <br /> granted. <br /> PAGE 28 <br />
