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 /> Ralph Kemp, 3675 Togo Road, suggested making the new two car garage a three car attached <br /> garage and eliminate the other garage that would remove 1/2 of the hardcover and reduce the <br /> circle driveway. <br /> Applicant said they store a boat and other things in the detached garage. <br /> Bremer stated whether the applicant really needs a four-stall garage. <br /> Berg stated the commission shouldn't be designing this property. We should be reviewing what <br /> is before us. <br /> Applicant stated it would cost approximately$50,000 to add two more garages. <br /> Bill Tiller, property owner to the north, is concerned about the view that he would see as a <br /> neighbor of a four-stall garage. <br /> An informal poll was taken and all but one commissioner would approve the application with the <br /> removal of the two sheds. <br /> Applicant was reluctant to remove the shed near the lakeshore. The shed is 6' x 3' with 6' <br /> height. <br /> The Commission informed applicant he could have a 4' x 5' lockbox (20 square feet) on the <br /> property and remove the shed. <br /> Mr. Mischke (#03-2928) indicated he is interested in having a lock box on his property as well. <br /> Commission responded he may have one. <br /> Berg moved and Mabusth seconded to approve Application #04-2992,Ron Potas, 2190 <br /> Shadywood Road approving the staff recommendations as follows: <br /> 1. Side setback variance to allow a west side setback of 5.6' at the garage when 10' is <br /> normally required and 5.6' currently exists. The changes at this non-conforming <br /> setback are a current flat roof will convert to a pitched, hipped roof. <br /> 2. Average lakeshore setback variance to allow an encroachment of 10' into the <br /> average lakeshore setback when a 10' encroachment currently exists. <br /> 3. Hardcover variance to allow 42% hardcover in the 75' —250' zone; however, this <br /> has been reduced to 41.5% because of the removal of the shed and the additional <br /> removal of the second shed at the lakeshore. VOTE: Ayes: 6; nays 1, Fritzler <br /> dissenting <br /> Chair Smith indicated to the applicants that the commission serves as a recommending body and <br /> that the City Council has the final determination on the application. <br /> Page 22 of 48 <br />
