MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING CONIlVIISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,August 18,2008 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#08-3367 TOM AND PAT KUBALAK,2623 CASCO POINT ROAD, CONTINUED) <br /> Tom Kubalak noted they have already reduced the size of their stxucture by approximately 400 feet. <br /> Kempf commented the applicants started high on the hardcover initially,which is perhaps not the best <br /> strategy. <br /> Patty Kubalak stated they were following the advice of their designer but did take it upon themselves to <br /> reduce the hardcover. <br /> Kempf stated the applicants have the option to construct a house that is taller but that he does not <br /> necessarily prefer to see a smaller footprint with another half-story or story added. <br /> Schoenzeit asked if the Planning Commission would be in favor of preserving the proposed footprint <br /> but relocating the house to the minimum setback at 30 feet,which would reduce the driveway <br /> hardcover. <br /> Kempf asked what the location of the house would be to the average lakeshore setback if the house were <br /> located 30 feet from the street. <br /> Turner illustrated the location of the house on the overhead and the location of the two neighboring <br /> residences. Turner noted there is a slope in that area,which may require some retaining walls or extra <br /> fill,and may eliminate the walkout. <br /> Tom Kubalak asked whether he could relocate the garage. <br /> Kempf stated it is his understanding it would need to be built within the existing footprint. <br /> Turner stated the applicants would need to request possibly a side setback variance and/or a hardcover <br /> variance. Turner noted there is no hardcover within the 0-75 foot zone and that relocating the garage <br /> may result in the hardcover being shifted on the lot somewhat. <br /> Kempf asked whether they have explored that option. <br /> Patty Kubalak stated they did but they thought that a reduction in hardcover would be better. <br /> Tom Kubalak stated they are also concerned about the hardcover and would prefer to have more grass. <br /> Kubalak noted there is virtually no place to store snow on the lot. The existing garage creates a problem <br /> with entering and exiting the lot. The existing house has deteriorated to the point where it needs to be <br /> replaced. , <br /> Kempf asked whether the applicants would prefer the Planning Commission vote on the application or <br /> table it. <br /> Kubalak requested his application be tabled. <br /> Kempf moved,Rice seconded,to table Application#08-3367,Tom and Pat Kubalak,2623 Casco <br /> Point Road.
