MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,October 18,2004 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#04-3059 James Render,Continued) <br /> as a mutual compromise. Jurgens indicated there were also some issues involving the grading and <br /> elevation on this site. <br /> Fritzler stated in his view this still constitutes an extension of the roofline and that he is not in favor of <br /> the conditional use permit. <br /> Rahn commented that he also had the impression that it was an extension of the roofline but that it <br /> appears to be an in between method to achieve the design that the applicant is looking for. Rahn stated <br /> in his opinion the Planning Commission also has the option of calling this a cupola. <br /> Render indicated it was his understanding the Council had directed him to pursue a conditional use <br /> permit. <br /> Bremer moved,Rahn seconded,to recommended Application#04-3059, 1335 Tonkawa <br /> Road,granting of a conditional use permit for a cupola extending from the easterly rook peak of <br /> the residence. VOTE: Ayes 4,Nays 3,Fritzler,Winkey and Leslie opposed. <br /> Winkey stated in his view it is an extension of the roofline. <br /> 9. GARY HANSEN ON BEHALF OF BILL AND ROBIN GRIERSON, 1989 <br /> FAGERNESS POINT ROAD—VARIANCES,8:27 p.m.—8:47 p.m. <br /> Gary Hansen,Hansen Home Tech, and Robin Grierson, Applicant, were present. <br /> Curtis stated the applicants are requesting a 75'-250' hardcover variance in order to construct a 35' by <br /> 14' addition to the existing home. The lot consists of 21,217 square feet and is located in the LR-1C <br /> district. Curits stated due to the location on the point, only 4,762 square feet are located outside of the <br /> 75' setback. <br /> Curtis stated the proposal is for a corner of the proposed addition to be constructed within the 0-75' <br /> setback resulting in 52 square feet of additional hardcover in that zone, and a hardcover variance <br /> within the 75'-250' setback for 52 percent hardcover after subtracting all of the plastic-lined landscape <br /> areas. Curtis noted 43 percent currently exists in the 75'-250' setback zone. <br /> Staff feels that the current plan could be redesigned to meet the 75' setback. Additionally, the survey <br /> shows a patio located within the 75' setback,which could potentially be removed or reduced if the <br /> Planning Commission feels that would be appropriate. If the Planning Commission feels that the <br /> nature of this property on a point is a significant hardship,there may be some justification for some <br /> level of hardcover variance within the 75'-250' setback. <br /> Curtis stated she did a calculation showing the request for the 0-75' setback on the west side, which is <br /> currently at 7.3 percent. Curtis indicated if the addition is removed and the entire patio is removed <br /> PAGE 26 <br />
