MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMIVIISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,June 20,2011 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Curtis noted it is within the 50-foot front yard setback. <br /> Hite stated it goes no closer to the street than the current structure. The main entry would be a new door <br /> which is located on the west side of the north wall of the house. That will become the guest entry and <br /> abuts the stairway that is currently there. The door on the east side of the house is basically a back door. <br /> As you go to the south,the lot drops off slightly. <br /> Wotipka stated where the door currently is,there will be a closet constructed in that area. Wotipka stated <br /> they would still have the covered walkway. <br /> Chair Schoenzeit closed the public hearing at 7:47 p.m. <br /> Schoenzeit noted the applicant is fine with Staff's recommendations for the most part and that he is <br /> com€ortable with the change raised by the applicant. Schoenzeit stated if there is an unfavorable report <br /> from the structural engineer on the foundation,he would want the application to come back before the <br /> Planning Commission. If it only requires minor repairs,the application does not need to come back. <br /> Leskinen asked if the report from the structural engineer will be received prior to Council review. <br /> Schoenzeit recommended that be made a condition of approval. <br /> Leskinen noted if the engineering does not support the new additions and it becomes a total rebuild,the <br /> proposal will need to be in total compliance with the City's regulations. <br /> Levang asked how Staff feels about point five. <br /> Curtis stated the reduced stoop and other proposed changes are a nice compromise. The Planning <br /> Commission should discuss whether the smaller stoop is okay in exchange for the landing. <br /> Schoenzeit stated he would recommend the steps go to the east and nothing encroach further towards the <br /> street. <br /> Feuss noted a portion of the encroachment would be removed by turning it to the side. <br /> Leskinen noted the applicant has already stated she would be willing to relocate the shed. <br /> Schoenzeit moved,Feuss seconded,to recommend approval of Application#11-3508, 1205 <br /> Dickenson Street,granting of front yard and side yard setback variances,subject to the removal of <br /> the encroaching pavers,relocation of the shed,and with the understanding that the existing <br /> vestibule will be removed,the porch will be extended no further than the current encroachment, <br /> and the new stairs will exit the porch from the east of the property,and with the further condition � <br /> that the certified structural engineer's report be submitted to Staff prior to City Council review of <br /> this application.
