MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> Monday, September 18,2006 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#06-3229 Timothy and Cherrie Peterson,Continued) <br /> Gaffron stated according to the septic inspector,the approval that was granted last time did not take into <br /> account the characteristics of a Type I versus a Type II house and that what was approved last time should <br /> have been restricted further. In comparing Exhibit A,which shows the proposed building from a couple <br /> of years ago, and Exhibit D,which shows the proposed new house, Gaffron pointed out there are some <br /> discrepancies and tliat the survey may not show the exact location of the septic site. Gaffron stated he is <br /> uncomfortable with saying that this exact house plan is okay without further review by Staff. <br /> Bremer noted there has been a change from a Type I to a Type II house and that she is in agreement with <br /> the septic inspector. <br /> Peterson stated he does not have a problem with reducing the number of water producing appliances in <br /> the residence. <br /> Bremer stated the City received a letter from Gerald Erickson,who has indicated he is opposed to the <br /> application. <br /> Peterson indicated he is unsure what the neighbor's objection is to the project,noting that he personally <br /> has not met with him. <br /> Bremer stated given the similar approval that was granted on this property a couple of years ago, she <br /> would not be opposed to the application. Bremer encouraged the applicant to continue to work with Staff <br /> on his application. <br /> Rahn stated the Planning Commission would only be approving the lot area variance. <br /> Kempf stated it should be understood that this is only a three-season structure. <br /> Bremer moved,Rahn seconded,to recommend approval of Application#06-3229,Timothy and . <br /> Cherri Peterson,560 Big Island,granting of a lot area variance,subject to the recommendations of <br /> the City Engineer. <br /> Kempf inquired whether a conditional use permit would be necessary in connection with this application. <br /> Curtis stated year-round use of a structure on Big Island would be a conditional use and that it would be a <br /> permitted use if the structure were only used 180 days. <br /> VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0. <br /> PAGE 12 <br />
