MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,May 16,2005 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#05-3102 Sven Gustafson, Continued) <br /> Gustafson stated the neighbor has indicated he would prefer a wider home rather than a longer home. <br /> Gustafson stated the angled garage is less of an encroachment on the neighboring property. <br /> Winkey inquired what plan the applicant would like the Planning Commission to focus on. <br /> Gustafson stated they would like the Planning Commission to look at the first plan in the packet <br /> distributed tonight. <br /> Rahn noted that plan calls for a 10-foot encroachment on each side. Rahn pointed out Staff has not had <br /> time to review the plan being proposed by the applicant tonight. <br /> Gustafson stated they would like some direction from the Planning Commission on whether they would <br /> be acceptable to an angled garage. <br /> Rahn stated it was his recollection that the Planning Commission would be acceptable to a minor <br /> encroachment. <br /> David Skeie, 860 Brown Road South, stated he has resided to the north of this property for 28 years. <br /> Skeie indicated there is a grove of trees between his house and the proposed residence and that he is not <br /> opposed to the plan being proposed tonight by the applicant. Skeie stated he would prefer to have the <br /> house wider rather than longer. <br /> Kempf stated he sees the advantage to the shorter building and that a corner of the garage encroaching <br /> into the side yard setback is not as significant as the encroachment of the entire side of the garage. <br /> Jurgens inquired what the total length of the house with the angled garage is. <br /> Gustafson stated it is 70 feet wide and 80 feet long,which includes the deck. <br /> Jurgens inquired what the length of the home with the L-shaped garage is on the survey. <br /> Gustafson stated it is 96.10. <br /> Jurgens noted that is an additional 17 feet in depth,and inquired whether the back of the house would be <br /> going east if the house is constructed longer on this lot rather than wider. <br /> Gustafson stated the house would probably be pushed further to the east. <br /> Winkey inquired whether the house has been reduced ten feet by whether it is angled differently on the <br /> lot. <br /> Gustafson stated the size of the house was reduced and the layout of the house was rearranged somewhat. <br /> PAGE 8 <br />
