. . , . <br /> MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday, September 20,2010 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Kang stated at the September 13`�'Council meeting the Comprehensive Plan was approved. <br /> There was also considerable discussion regarding the Metropolitan Livable Communities <br /> program and whether the City should participate in that program. Kang noted the Metropolitan <br /> Council sets the housing goals for the City and there some discussion on whether the City can <br /> propose its own goals. <br /> The City Council also discussed the 2011 tax levy and budget,with a proposed 1.74 percent <br /> increase for the employees. <br /> 9. OTHER ISSUES FOR DISCUSSION <br /> Gaffron stated the hardcover ordinance that Commissioner Schoenzeit likely was referring to <br /> earlier is the ordinance requiring that the plans account for all hardcover necessary for future <br /> garages, decks and other structures. Gaffron noted with the codification of the hardcover <br /> ordinance that was passed approximately one year ago,when a building pernut comes in,the <br /> hardcover calculations must include items that are not being proposed to be built. The plans <br /> must contain hardcover for a two-car garage, a driveway that meets City minimum standards, a <br /> 24-inch sidewalk from the front door to the street or the driveway, and a necessary landing at an <br /> exterior door. The intent is not for the City to be requiring those amenities to be built but the <br /> intent is to prevent the builder from maxing out the hardcover and then the property owner <br /> coming in later asking for additional hardcover. <br /> 10.
