MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday, March 15, 2004 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#9. #04-2992 RON POTAS, 2190 SHADYWOOD ROAD VARIANCES-Continued) <br /> Applicant said the floor system is going because they are removing the part of the wall on the <br /> inside and that gives a new load structure and a steel beam would have to be put in plus roof <br /> (floor) trusses become the ceiling of the lower level. <br /> Rahn questioned if there is a 5.6' area with a 4'jog. Elevations don't show that 4'jog. After <br /> discussion, applicant finally indicated the survey is correct and that there is a 4'jog (not <br /> perfectly square) in this shop area that is adjacent to the garage and they do not intend to fill that <br /> in. It will remain. <br /> Rahn further indicated this is a major renovation and clearly a re-build. <br /> Applicant stated moving the house to the southeast would affect the front entry of the home and <br /> re-doing the garage would be a huge issue for them. <br /> Commissioner Rahn confirmed ceiling heights with the applicant. <br /> Fritzler stated that he felt the project was well beyond the 50%threshold. <br /> Chair Smith continued by noting the location of three sheds: <br /> 1. Lakeshore <br /> 2. South of garage— smaller <br /> 3. Garage further down from the smaller shed <br /> Applicant stated the sheds have been there 23 years. <br /> Bremer stated that the home has also been there that long and the applicant is changing the home. <br /> Bremer asked what the applicant could do to take away some of the accessory structures in <br /> exchange for encroachments. <br /> Chair Smith would like to see all three accessory structures removed. <br /> Bremer inquired if two small sheds were removed, not including the garage, how much <br /> hardcover would be gained. <br /> Gundlach responded a total of 83 square feet (60 square feet outside the 0'-75' and 23 square <br /> feet inside the 0'-75'). Additionally, if you remove the two sheds in the 0'-75' you go from <br /> 1.3% to 1% and if you take the shed out of the 75'-250' you go from 41.9% to 41.5%. <br /> Bremer stated she would approve the application if the two small sheds were removed. <br /> Fritzler stated he would vote against the proposal unless it included the removal of the old garage <br /> out by the street because there is a lot of hardcover there that could be given up. <br /> Page 21 of 48 <br />
