MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,October 18,2004 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#04-3052 Eric Vogstrom,Continued) <br /> Leslie inquired how many of the neighbors have three car garages versus two car garages. <br /> Vogstrom stated it is approximately half and half,with the newer homes having the three car garages. <br /> Vogstrom indicated he was attempting to address the off-street parking by constructing a three-car <br /> garage. Vogstrom noted the current residence is also located on the property line,which makes it <br /> nonconforming, and the amount of hardcover on the lot is also being reduced with his proposal from <br /> what currently exists. <br /> Winkey inquired what impact a reduction to 25 percent hardcover would have on the design of the <br /> house. <br /> Vogstrom stated he is better off going with the 1500 square foot footprint plus a small amount for a <br /> driveway and a sidewalk,which would bring the hardcover to around 30 percent. <br /> Fritzler commented that in his view the size of the lot should give the applicant an adequate building <br /> pad and that he would be opposed to granting any variances. Fritzler stated he would like to see the <br /> hardcover reduced to 25 percent. <br /> Jurgens stated based on the time limits,he would like to make a motion denying the application. <br /> Jurgens moved,Leslie seconded,to recommend denial of Application#04-3052,Eric Vogstrom, <br /> 2618 Casco Point Road. <br /> Rahn noted the applicant does have the ability to sign an agreement extending the 60 days. <br /> Bremer stated she does not feel the Planning Commission should make a motion based solely on the <br /> fact that the 60-day time limit is about to expire. <br /> Jurgens stated in his view the hardcover should be reduced to 25 percent and that there is no need to <br /> grant any variances based on the size of the building pad. <br /> VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 2,Rahn and Bremer opposed. <br /> Rahn stated he believes the applicant should be given the opportunity to revise his plans again but that <br /> he is in agreement that the hardcover be reduced. <br /> Vogstrom inquired whether he could utilize an end-loading garage. <br /> Jurgens stated the applicant does have that option but that a new application would need to be <br /> submitted. <br /> PAGE 6 <br />
