MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLAIVNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,May 17,2010 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#10-3459 BARBARA A.HALPER,3200 NORTH SHORE DRIVE,VARIANCES,CONTINUED) <br /> Feuss noted that Staff is recommending the hardcover variance be tabled until all the facts are clarified as <br /> it relates to the width of the driveway. <br /> Halper commented she is already two months behind schedule and that tabling the hardcover variance <br /> until the project is completed would likely mean that the driveway will not get paved this year. <br /> Schoenzeit asked whether the applicant would like the Planning Commission to vote on the hardcover <br /> variance tonight. <br /> Halper indicated she would due to the time restraints. <br /> Schoenzeit asked what a minimum size driveway is. <br /> Turner asked how long the driveway is. <br /> Weiland indicated it is approximately 300 feet. <br /> Halper stated she is willing to reduce the driveway to eight feet wide. <br /> Turner stated 900 square feet of hardcover would need to be removed and that some additional hardcover <br /> could be eliminated outside of the driveway. <br /> Schoenzeit stated the other staff recommendation relates to the average lakeshore setback. Schoenzeit <br /> asked what the applicant's intentions are with the setback. <br /> Halper stated the average lakeshore setback of 1.9 feet makes a huge difference inside the house and that <br /> both of her neighbors are fine with the encroachment. <br /> Rahn commented that the average lakeshore setback is very important and that the City Council seldom <br /> grants variances to that. Rahn stated typically a hardship must be demonstrated for the variance and that <br /> the applicant should consider making modifications to the interior of the residence. <br /> Halper stated the addition will be part of the living room/dining room and will give her additional living <br /> space. Halper pointed out the current deck already encroaches 1.9 feet into the average lakeshore setback. <br /> Feuss asked whether there have been prior average lakeshore setback variances granted in this area. <br /> Turner stated the house to the east is brand-new and met the average lakeshore setback. Turner asked if <br /> the house to the west is brand-new. <br /> Halper indicated it has been remodeled but that there is a house next to the marina that is located right on <br /> the beach. The houses to the right of her property are slightly in her view of the lake. <br /> Schoenzeit stated lakeside of the existing deck the survey shows that the deck is 1.9 feet over. Schoenzeit <br /> asked whether a new deck is being proposed out from the existing deck. <br /> PAGE 4 <br />
