MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,April 18, 2016 <br /> 6:30 dclock p.m. <br /> Schoenzeit stated because they are using the existing frost footings and extending to it,it would be nice if <br /> it did not become a 4-season porch. <br /> Landgraver stated he had initially interpreted this to go beyond the 75-foot line,but if it is a seasonal <br /> porch extending out to what appear to be existing substantial footings,it is probably okay. <br /> Lemke indicated he is fine with the proposal. <br /> Thiesse stated his initial thought was that they have plenty of room to the side but that he likes the idea of <br /> using the existing footings. <br /> Leskinen indicated she does not have any problems with the variance. <br /> Schoenzeit stated the recommendation should require that the submitted plans are corrected showing only <br /> those footings and not that a poured foundation will be completed. <br /> Thiesse stated a foundation of that type tends to collect debris and attract rodents. <br /> Schoenzeit stated the consensus appears to be that the applicants can reuse the existing footings but that <br /> they are not in favor of having it be a 4-season porch now or in the future. <br /> Thiesse stated he would like the next Planning Coimnission and Council to make that decision and that he <br /> is comfortable with the applicants using those footings without any additional stipulations. <br /> Schoenzeit stated they need to correct their plans to show that it is not a solid foundation. <br /> Landgraver moved, Schoenzeit seconded,to recommend approval of Application No. 16-3818, <br /> SALA Architects on behalf of Chris and Leslie Neugent, 710 Big Island,granting of variances, <br /> subject to compliance with septic regulations and the submittal of a revised plan showing the <br /> expansion to the existing footings not as a solid poured foundation. VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0. <br /> 3. #16-3819 KEVIN ANDERSON ON BEHALF OF NORTH ARM FARM,LLC,800 <br /> NORTH ARM DRIVE, SKETCH PLAN,6:44 P.M.—7:28 P.M. <br /> Mike Gaffron stated the applicants are requesting a sketch plan review for a 4-acre property proposed to <br /> be developed into three single-family residential lots. All lots would be served by a new private road and <br /> would be served with municipal sewer and individual wells. Since this is a sketch plan, the neighbars <br /> have not been notified of the plans and no formal action is required by the Planning Commission. <br /> The property is located on the east side of North Ann Drive near the southeast corner of the Lakeview <br /> developTnent. It has frontage on North Ann Bay. That frontage is on the northeast side and along the east <br /> boundary. The west half of the property slopes gradually to the east, with steep slopes at the east and <br /> northerly shorelines. The area where the north lot boundary nears the lakeshore is likely a bluff by <br /> definition. No structures are allowed within 30 feet of the bluff. <br /> The property is zoned LR-1B, one family lakeshore residential, and is guided in the Orono Community <br /> Management Plan for residential use. The LR-1 B District has a number of lots in the neighborhood that <br /> are bigger or smaller than this one, and it would be fair to say that these lots at 1-acre apiece are <br /> Page 3 of 32 <br />
