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 /> Winkey stated his recollection of the last Planning Commission meeting the applicant was given direction <br /> to minimize the encroachment and that this proposal is a good step towards achieving that goal. <br /> Fritzler inquired what the side yard setback would be with the angled garage. <br /> Gustafson stated it would be 20 feet. <br /> Bremer stated she is in agreement with Commissioner Winkey and that the plan being proposed tonight is <br /> a good compromise. Bremer noted one of the goals in reviewing variances is to protect the future <br /> property owners of the adjoining lots and that it might be necessary to reduce the encroachment into the <br /> side yard setback. Bremer stated the size of the lot in her view does constitute some hardship. <br /> Rahn inquired whether it would be necessary for this application to reappear before the Planning <br /> Commission if the Planning Commission is in favor of the 20-foot side yard setback. <br /> Gaffron stated in his view the applicant could submit a plan depicting exactly what is being proposed <br /> tonight for staff review and would not have to reappear before the Planning Commission. <br /> Rahn stated he would prefer to see a home that does not go deeper,which would be more intrusive to the <br /> neighbors. <br /> Bremer noted the encroachment does not go the entire length of the lot but is rather a limited area. <br /> Fritzler stated he prefers the angled garage even though it does encroach into the side yard setback rather <br /> than the longer house. <br /> Jurgens indicated he would prefer to see the specific plan prior to approval. <br /> Rahn moved,Kempf seconded,to recommend approval of Application#05-3102,Kathryn <br /> Alexander for Stonewood Design/Build,920 Brown Road South,granting of a 20-foot side yard <br /> setback to the north and a 20-foot side yard setback to the south,with the understanding that the <br /> footprint proposed to be constructed is the one contained on page two of the handout and should be <br /> identical to that floor plan except with a reverse image.
