MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> Monday,May 21,2007 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#07-3280 Vogue ICF, Continued) <br /> Winer asked whether the driveway or sidewalk could be reduced. <br /> Turner noted the shared driveway requires more hardcover than separate driveways. The extra hardcover <br /> comes from the decks and a small amount from the house. Turner stated one lot is over by 365 square <br /> feet and the other lot is over by 347 square feet. <br /> Kang inquired how big the smaller decks are that are located off the master bedroom. <br /> Parker stated they are 4' x 12'. <br /> Turner stated two feet of the deck is considered to be eave. <br /> Kempf stated he understands the neighbors concerns regarding the drainage and that this is a difficult <br /> neighborhood given the drainage problems that have been experienced. Kempf stated the City Engineer <br /> would be reviewing the drainage plans and would ensure that the runoff is handled appropriately for this <br /> project. <br /> Kempf stated combining the two lots would result in one big house and that the two houses on the two <br /> separate lots would fit in better with the neighborhood. Kempf stated he likes the shared driveway and <br /> the elimination of the height variance. <br /> Kroeger stated it sounds like everyone is confident that the drainage can be resolved and that even though <br /> the hardcover is slightly over,it is located more toward the back of the lot rather than the lake side of the <br /> lot. Kroeger stated he does understand the concept that the City's limit on hardcover can creep up over <br /> time but that this plan is a good improvement from what was originally proposed. <br /> Winer moved to recommend approval of Application#07-3280,Vogue ICF, 1348 and 1350 Rest <br /> Point Circle,based on the revised plan presented tonight,subject to the basement exterior doors <br /> being removed,subject to review and approval of the drainage and grading plans by the City <br /> Engineer,and further subject to the submittal of a conditional use application if necessary prior to <br /> the issuance of a building permit. <br /> Turner inquired whether the proposed level of hardcover is acceptable. <br /> Kempf noted on 1350 Rest Point Circle the hardcover is 29 percent and the hardcover for 1348 Rest Point <br /> Circle is 28.76 percent. <br /> Kroeger seconded the motion.
