MIlVUTES OF THE <br /> � ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,March 19,2007 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#07-3266 Vogue ICF Homes,Continued) <br /> • Vogstrom noted the patio on the plans should be moved further down and would be located within the <br /> little cove on the house. " <br /> Vogstrom proposed to install two 3-foot pads for the driveway with grass in between to help reduce the <br /> hardcover on the property. <br /> Turner stated the Code specifies the whole width of the driveway would be counted as hardcover even if <br /> there is not a hard surface over the entire width. <br /> Vogstrom suggested the City consider allowing permeable pavers. <br /> Berg noted at the present time permeable pavers would still count as hardcover. <br /> Hahn stated the biggest hardship with the property is the bay located on two sides. <br /> Zullo expressed a concern with the need for a height variance. <br /> Kroeger suggested the height of each story be reduced slightly. <br /> Berg stated the height of the house goes towards the massing that is noticeable on the lot,and given the <br /> smaller size of the lot,it may be necessary to reduce the size of the house. <br /> Vogstrom pointed out there would not be a basement or other storage available in the house and that <br /> there is a need for a three-car garage. <br /> Acting Chair Kempf opened the public hearing at 8:16 p.m. � <br /> Kristie Anderson 1408 Baldur Park, stated she has a concern with the runoff that might be created as a <br /> result of this project,especially given the amount of hardcover being proposed for the lot and the fact <br /> that their properties are located below the floodplain. Anderson stated in her view the size of the house <br /> does give the appearance of a lot of massing on the site and that the height of the house should be <br /> reduced. � <br /> Hahn stated they will be reducing the ceiling height of each floor by six inches. <br /> Anderson inquired what the ceiling heights would be. <br /> Hahn stated it would be 9.5 on the main floor and 9.5 on the second floor. <br /> Anderson noted the neighbor on the other side of this property is out of the country at the present time <br /> and encouraged the Planning Commission to keep his best interests in mind. <br /> PAGE 16 <br />
