MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMNIISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,July 18,2011 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> they plan on using the third space as ldnd of an overflow parking when they have guests at the house and <br /> also to store the riding lawn mower and snow blower. Snyder noted there is very little traffic on the road. <br /> The house next to this house is for sale so there are some prospective people coming to look at it but there <br /> are perhaps four to five cars every day that go past their house. Every lot on the road is 100 feet wide <br /> lots. ' <br /> Schoenzeit asked whether he has discussed this project with the neighbors. <br /> Snyder indicated he has spoken to one of the neighbors but that the other neighbor is seldom at the <br /> property. The fence that is located on the neighbor's property line is in a state of disintegration and <br /> should be taken down. They are proposing to replace that fence with a series of shrubs that would grow <br /> to a height of eight or nine feet and provide screening between the two houses. Snyder indicated they <br /> have not discussed that proposal with the neighbor. <br /> Leskinen asked whether any attempt was made to comply with the encroachment. <br /> Snyder stated technically they are in the two acre zone so the side setback requirement is 30 feet. <br /> Physically it is possible to move the garage over a foot and a half,which would put it at the 10 foot line, <br /> but where it comes into the existing house is into the kitchen. If it is moved over another foot and a half, <br /> they would be infringing up a bay window,which would require a redesign of the whole front side of the <br /> house. <br /> Thiesse asked if someone would come to visit the property if the expectation is that they would <br /> completely back out of the driveway. <br /> Snyder pointed out the road and the edge of the road. Snyder indicated they do have an area where guests <br /> can park. <br /> Feuss asked if there would be any additional hardcover in the area for the guests. <br /> Snyder indicated that area would be grass. <br /> Thiesse stated as it relates to moving the garage over another foot and a half,in his view it would really <br /> not serve any purpose since the house is akeady there. <br /> Schoenzeit asked if they are restricted from putting a jog in the structure. <br /> Curtis indicated they are not. <br /> Schoenzeit asked if the exterior of the garage would be compatible with what currently exists. <br /> Thiesse asked how much of the concrete located on the south side will be removed. <br /> Snyder indicated they will be removing 100 percent of that. There currently is brick pavement and <br /> plantings with plastic and rock,which will also be removed. <br /> Schoenzeit asked whether there will be gutters or drain spouts on the garage. <br /> � Page <br /> 10 <br />
