MINUTES OF THE � . � <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> � Monday,Apri116,2007 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> , <br /> (#07-3280 Vogue ICF Homes on behalf of Tom Parker,Continued) <br /> Parker stated the 1800 square feet includes the garage and that it is actually a 1300 square foot house. <br /> � Hahn stated the basement cannot be a legal basement and is instead a finished floor. The only place left <br /> for the bedrooms is above that. ' <br /> Parker stated the house proposed for 1350 is 1283 square feet. <br /> Hahn stated the 32 feet is measured from six feet below the road and that from the road it would not <br /> look like a massive house. <br /> Berg commented from the lake it would appear as a lot of massing. <br /> ' Turner stated the applicants would require a lot width and lot area variance and it would be more than <br /> likely that a hardcover variance would be required. The City Engineer has indicated that the drainage is <br /> set up properly and that the property will be swaled. . - <br /> Vogstrom illustrated the proposed drainage and the existing drainage on the overhead. <br /> Gaffron disagreed with the way Vogstrom stated the drainage would work and indicated how some of <br /> the drainage would be directed down toward the cottage. ' <br /> � � " Turner stated some cooperation with the neighbors would probably be needed to help correct some of <br /> the drainage problems. <br /> Walsh stated with enough planning the drainage can be resolved and that the bigger issue is the height <br /> of the structure. Walsh stated there are no other three story homes on Rest Point. <br /> " Gaffron inquired whether the garage is at the upper most level of his house. <br /> Walsh stated it is. <br /> Gaffron inquired whether there are lookout windows at the basement level. <br /> Walsh stated there are no windows in his basement level and that it is two levels with a basement and <br /> that you see two stories from the lake. Walsh stated he has a concern with how high this structure is <br /> - going to appear from the lake. <br /> Gaffron stated if a basement were constructed on this house,it would be more characteristic of the � <br /> homes in the neighb'orhood and that the walkout is driving the view of the three stories from the lake. <br /> Turner stated it is difficult to drop the garage and handle the drainage due to the short distance from the <br /> � road but that the applicant could perhaps drop the house half a story or a quarter of a story so you walk <br /> � down from the garage into the main level. <br /> PAGE 31 ' <br />
