MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,June 19,2006 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#06-3184 MAUREEN BRECKMAN,CONTINLTED) <br /> Vogstrom stated they were attempting to get the sewer and water connected and that Gopher One <br /> inadvertently forgot to mark the telephone line and that repairs are in the process of being made. <br /> Rahn inquired whether there are any hardcover calculations. <br /> Curtis stated revised hardcover calculations have been submitted and the applicant is now proposing <br /> 30.6 in the 75-250' zone rather than 36.2 percent. <br /> Rahn stated he is more inclined to having the drainage issues resolved prior to moving this application <br /> forward. <br /> Bill Miller,2691 Casco Point Road, stated in his view reducing the width of the driveway is creating a <br /> public safety issue and that the hardship for a wider driveway is the topography of the lot. Miller stated <br /> another lot on Casco Point has close to 45 percent hardcover and they were allowed a side setback <br /> variance and were only required to remove 100 square feet of hardcover. Miller stated that property <br /> also has a drop-off on their driveway. Miller stated he has lived in this area since 1981 and that he has <br /> seen cars go off that driveway. Miller requested the width of the driveway remain the same. <br /> Kane stated he is opposed to the additional hardcover since it would cause more runoff onto his <br /> � property. Kane stated his driveway is not that wide and he also has a drop-off. <br /> Gaffron stated the minimum width for a driveway is eight feet. <br /> Jurgens stated it does not limit the applicant's ability to create a flat spot next to the driveway consisting <br /> of grass. Jurgens stated the Planning Commission feels that 30 percent hardcover is reasonable. <br /> Rahn noted the applicant is substantially below on the structural coverage. <br /> Rahn closed the public hearing at 6:44 p.m. <br /> Jurgens moved,Kempf seconded,to table Application#06-06-3184,Paul Thomas Homes on <br /> behalf of Maureen A.Breckman,2695 Casco Point Road,to allow the applicant time to resolve <br /> the outstanding drainage and grading issues.
