MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Tuesday,January 17,2006 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (MARK AND PAMELA PALM, CONTINUED) <br /> Bremer stated in her view this property is extremely steep and that there is a safety concern with <br /> traversing up and down the hill in the winter. Bremer stated the size of the structure is the determining <br /> factor for what the setback should be to the lot line. <br /> Leslie stated he does not see a reason why they should not go back to what was previously approved. <br /> Bremer noted the applicant is proposing a larger structure at the present time. <br /> Gaffron inquired whether the other garage was also a two-story structure. <br /> Palm stated it was. <br /> Jurgens stated if a two and a half car garage were constructed, the applicant would be at the 750 square <br /> feet. Jurgens stated he personally would like to see an equal amount of hardcover removed as what is <br /> being proposed and inquired whether any additional hardcover could be removed. <br /> Palm stated he would like a 23' by 34' garage. <br /> Kempf stated it was his understanding the hardcover was being reduced by moving the garage further <br /> back. <br /> Jurgens stated that probably is the situation,but that he would like to see whether any additional <br /> hardcover could be removed. <br /> Palm stated he has a concern with backing out of the driveway. <br /> Jurgens stated the City does have minimum standards for a turnaround area. <br /> Winkey stated he would be comfortable with a 5-foot setback if the size of the garage were reduced. <br /> There were no public comments regarding this application. <br /> Leslie moved,Winkey seconded,to recommend approval of Application#OS-3146,Mark and <br /> Pamela Palm, 1447 Park Drive,with the Applicant making the necessary modifications to bring the <br /> application into compliance with Resolution No.4831.
