MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,August 16, 2004 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#04-3043 John Holm and Susan Kerber,continued) <br /> Holm indicated their architect drew in the patio but there would not be any changes to the existing <br /> patio. <br /> Jurgens inquired whether it was possible to reduce the hardcover by 1 percent in the 75'—250' zone <br /> to reach 25 percent. <br /> Curtis stated the proposed sidewalk indicated on the plan is no longer proposed,which would reduce <br /> the hardcover. <br /> Holm explained there are a few options to reduce the hardcover, such as reducing the sidewalk, <br /> moving the turnaround off to the right, or reducing the size of the garage. Holm indicated he is not <br /> opposed to reducing it to 25 percent. <br /> Rahn suggested the applicant decide which option he would like to do. <br /> Jurgens questioned whether the 75' —250' hardcover variance would still be required in order to <br /> construct a covered entrance if the applicant reduces the hardcover elsewhere. <br /> Curtis stated the applicant would still need a hardcover variance unless the Planning Commission <br /> is requiring the applicant to reduce the hardcover to 25 percent. <br /> Jurgens commented if the applicant is required to reduce the hardcover to 25 percent,then that would <br /> eliminate the two hardcover variances in the 75' —250' zones. <br /> Bremer inquired whether the applicant understood what the Planning Commission was recommending. <br /> Kempf stated the applicant has the option of adding the sidewalk if he reduces the driveway. <br /> Holm stated he would like some turnaround. <br /> Jurgens noted approximately 150 square feet would need to be removed. <br /> Gundlach stated one percent is approximately 147.5 square feet. <br /> Jurgens moved,Kempf seconded,to recommend approval of Application#04-3043, <br /> approval of an average lakeshore setback variance and a 75'—250' zone hardcover <br /> variance in order to replace an existing 13' by 24' deck on the east side of their home, <br /> and a side setback variance in order to construct a two-stall garage 10 feet from the side lot line <br /> where a 30 foot setback is required and a 9.9 foot setback is existing,for the property located at <br /> 1485 Bay Ridge Road.
