MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> ' Monday,July 18,2005 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#05-3124 William and Rhonda Omlie, Continued) <br /> Jurgens stated the hardcover that was approved was 26 percent and not 29 percent and that the hardcover <br /> needs to be reduced. <br /> There were no public comments regarding this application. <br /> Rahn indicated he is in agreement with Staff's recommendations and that the hardcover needs to be <br /> reduced to the 26 percent that was previously approved in 1993. Rahn stated the applicant would need to <br /> decide where the additional hardcover would be removed. <br /> Winkey commented there is not an issue with what is being proposed with the garage but that the <br /> hardcover needs to be reduced by three percent in the 75'-250' zone. Winkey stated it appears to <br /> primarily be the lakeside sidewalk that has increased the hardcover. <br /> Leslie inquired whether the Planning Commission should specify where the hardcover should be reduced. <br /> Gaffron stated the Planning Commission could simply give direction to the applicant that the hardcover <br /> be reduced by three percent prior to this application appearing before the City Council. <br /> Leslie indicated he would prefer the applicant determine where the hardcover should be reduced. Leslie <br /> stated 834 square feet would need to be removed in the 75'-250' zone in order to comply with what was <br /> approved in 1993. <br /> Curtis stated 177 square feet would also need to be removed in the 250'-500' zone. Curtis noted the <br /> zones appear to have changed somewhat in size since 1993. Curtis stated she does not have anything to <br /> compare the accuracy of the measurements of the zones. <br /> Rahn pointed out the new survey shows both zones being over what was approved. <br /> Bremer inquired whether the hardcover could have been affected by the lot line rearrangement. <br /> Curtis stated the survey depicts the same setback for the garage. <br /> Gaffron stated because the size of the zones have been reported differently,he would prefer to use a <br /> square footage number rather than a percentage. <br /> Leslie inquired what the 78 feet of hardcover consists of in the 0-75' zone. <br /> Toenges noted a different surveyor was used to calculate the hardcover. Toenges stated the first surveyor <br /> probably did not count the retaining wall in the 0-75'zone. Toenges stated at the time of the remodeling <br /> project they did work closely with the building inspector and that they believed they were in compliance <br /> with what was approved. <br /> PAGE 15 <br />
