MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING CONIlVIISSION <br /> Monday,September 18,2006 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#06-3231 William Dampier, Continued) <br /> The 326 square foot addition would place the property 306 square feet over the structural lot coverage <br /> maximum. <br /> Turner noted the applicant has aclrnowledged in writing that the cantilevered areas are in violation of the <br /> code and variance approvals. <br /> Planning Staff recommends denial of the application based on the amount of structural lot coverage. <br /> Dampier distributed pictures of his residence to the Planning Commission. Dampier indicated his view of <br /> the lake to the north consists of 100 percent of his neighbor's house,which was constructed in the 0-75 <br /> foot setback. Dampier stated he has no lakeshore view to the north and his view to the south is of his <br /> other adjacent neighbor. Both of the neighbors encroach on the 10-foot setback,which makes all three <br /> houses nonconforming structures. Dampier stated the three houses are very similar in size and are all on <br /> 50-foot lots,with the prime difference being that the neighbors to the north and south have been granted <br /> variances to construct garages,with the neighbor to the south also having a boathouse and playhouse that <br /> encroaches on the lake setback. <br /> Dampier stated apparently there is some confusion in what he is proposing and that he has permission to <br /> construct a 16-foot by 30-foot deck on the front of his deck,which consists of 480 square feet of <br /> structural coverage. Dampier stated he would like to trade the 480 square feet of structural coverage in <br /> return for 154 square feet of structural coverage. <br /> Dampier stated he is not requesting a side setback variance and that he would like to bring the front of his <br /> house up to the average setback line. Dampier reiterated he would like to trade 480 square feet of deck <br /> for 154 square feet of structure. Dampier indicated he is in need of the extra space to construct a bedroom <br /> for his daughter,who is expecting a child in the near future. <br /> Rahn inquired what plan reflects the figures that Dampier has utilized tonight. <br /> Dampier stated they are not reflected on the plan before the Planning Commission tonight and that he just <br /> made the recalculation last night. <br /> Bremer noted the amount of the lot coverage variance would need to be amended. <br /> Turner noted there are also two cantilevered areas that would need to be included in the calculation. <br /> Dampier indicated he did include those in his calculations. <br /> Bremer opened the public hearing at 8:07 p.m. <br /> There were no public comments regarding this application. <br /> Bremer closed the public hearing at 8:07 p.m. <br /> PAGE 15 <br />
