MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday, September 20,2004 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#04-3052 Eric Vogstrom, Continued) <br /> Vogstrom inquired whether the Planning Commission would allow the 10-foot side street setback given <br /> the fact that the fire lane is heavily wooded and not used. <br /> Jurgens requested the property markers near the street be delineated. <br /> Leslie stated the applicant will need to make the decision on how to reduce the hardcover,and that the <br /> encroachment may be reduced once the hardcover is reduced. Leslie indicated it is impossible to say <br /> definitely whether the encroachment would be allowed given the fact that the plans need to be revised. <br /> Rahn stated the Planning Commission needs to look at the plans overall, and recommended the <br /> applicant continue working with staff to reduce the amount of proposed hardcover. <br /> Leslie indicated it appears likely that there may be some variance granted for hardcover given the <br /> restrictions of the lot,but that the applicant needs to take steps to reduce the hardcover down to <br /> something that is more reasonable for the lot. <br /> Kempf stated he generally is in favor of setback variances that have no negative impact on the <br /> neighbors. <br /> Rahn reiterated the Planning Commission needs to look at the plans as a whole, and inquired whether <br /> the applicant would like to table his application. <br /> Vogstrom requested his application be tabled. <br /> Rahn moved,Leslie seconded,to table Application#04-3052,Eric Vogstrom,2618 Casco Point <br /> Road,to allow the applicant time to revise his plans.
