: . <br /> MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,August 16,2010 <br /> , 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Kang noted the City received a letter from Guy Milliren, 1991 Fagerness Point Road,raising a number of <br /> issues dealing with the actual construction. Kang asked if the Planning Commission should address any <br /> of the issues raised in the letter. <br /> Curtis stated those requirements would be addressed at the time a building permit is issued. <br /> Gallus indicated there would be a small wrap-around porch on the right side of the house and a deck on <br /> the back. The house has been moved closer to Fagerness Point Road in an effort to accommodate those <br /> items and to eliminate a portion of the driveway to stay within 25 percent hardcover. The property <br /> owners understand the 25 percent hardcover is nonnegotiable and that it may not be possible to construct <br /> the wrap-around porch and/or deck. <br /> Feuss noted the only variances being requested are lot area and lot width variances and that she does not <br /> any an issue with that. Feuss stated she would like the applicant to lrnow that the plans should not change <br /> during construction. <br /> Gallus indicated the applicants are familiar with the hardcover requirements. <br /> Chair Kang opened the public hearing at 6:38 p.m. - <br /> Mike Miller, 1987 Fagerness Point Road, stated he does have a few concerns with the proposal. The first <br /> concern deals with the removal of three large mature trees on his side of the property. The swale that will <br /> be cut to accommodate the drainage is located within 17-1/2 feet of space,which will make it difficult to <br /> create a proper grade. Miller stated he would propose the house be moved to the northeast four to�ve <br /> feet,which would center the house between the two adjoining houses and would provide additional space <br /> for the swale and perhaps save one of the trees. <br /> Miller stated his second request involves the elevation on the southeast side of the property. There is a <br /> cut of dirt that is proposed to be removed for the garage and there will be some exposed concrete along <br /> the side of the garage facing his property. If all of the present shrubs and vegetation are removed,he <br /> would request that some landscaping be planted to help screen the structure. <br /> Miller asked whether the structure meets the height requirements. � <br /> Curtis stated the applicant would be required to meet a 30-foot height requirement and be limited to two <br /> and a half stories. Curtis stated they measure the height from the highest point of existing grade touching <br /> the foundation to the peak of the roof. <br /> Miller indicated he did speak with Dan Gallus regarding a six to eight inch red maple that will be <br /> removed about possibly having it spaded and relocated. Miller stated he also has the same concerns <br /> regarding parking during construction and that there were many times during construction of the house at <br /> 1984 Fagerness, due to the narrowness of the road,where parking of trailers and other big equipment <br /> made it very difficult to traverse down the road. Miller indicated he does not have an issue with the <br /> variances. <br /> Chair Kang closed the public hearing at 6:43 p.m. <br /> Page 2 � <br />
