MINUTES OF THE � <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,Auwst 15,2011 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Schoenzeit encouraged Mr.Puzak to work with Staff on that item. <br /> Chair Schoenzeit closed the public heari.ng at 8:22 p.m. <br /> Wingerd noted this is a flower garden azea and has always been a flower garden. Wingerd indicated he <br /> did not know anything of Mr.Puzak's plans that he raised here tonight. Wingerd stated he would presume <br /> that Mr. Gronberg is well known to this Commission and that he feels his reputation speaks for itself. <br /> Schoenzeit stated accurate surveys take a number of revisions and that the burden is on the applicant to do <br /> the due diligence necessary to make it complete. <br /> Wingerd stated they thought they had completed an accurate survey. Wingerd noted they had also erected <br /> a sign in their yazd next to the roadway the first few days regarding their application and every morning it <br /> was laiocked over. It has since been relocated to the middle of their yard. Mr.Puzak did have notice of <br /> the application. <br /> Schoenzeit encouraged Mr.Puzak to work with Staff to see the City's elaborate,detailed accurate <br /> notification process. <br /> Schoenzeit stated the focus of the Plauning Commission is to help the applicant with their practical <br /> difficulty in how to access their garage. The applicant will need to submit an accurate survey. If the blue <br /> survey lines have information that prevents this from going forward,the City needs that information. <br /> Mrs.Wingerd stated they have had a complete survey done withi.n the past few years. <br /> Schoenzeit stated the survey would need to reflect all easements,including utility easements and sewer <br /> easements. The surveyor will need to dig through all the public records to include the layers of missing <br /> information. With respect to Mr.Puzak, it is important that the applicant's survey contains that <br /> information. Based on what has been presented to the City,the survey appeazs to be incomplete and <br /> insufficient to go to the City Council. Schoenzeit stated the applicants will need to make sure that all the <br /> information is available so everyone has all the facts. <br /> Levang asked whether Staff is asking for the applicants to submit an updated survey reflecting the <br /> changes. Levang stated she would like it to be very clear on what the applicants need to do. <br /> Curtis indicated the recommendation from Staff would be that the easements that encumber the property <br /> regardi.ng access for Mr.Puzak be shown on the survey,the proposed changes to the driveway be <br /> depicted,the removal of the hardcover proposed,and modification to the curb cut as well as the sidewalk. <br /> Wingerd indicated they will do that. <br /> Thiesse stated in his opinion the side loading garage does not allow for adequate space to back the <br /> vehicles out of the garage. The easement is for Lot 20 and not Lot 21, so there is not adequate space. Mr. <br /> Puzak has indicated he has no interest in the Wingers being on his property,which is his right,but that the <br /> applicants need access to their gara.ge. <br /> Schoenzeit stated they have a proposal before them that looks promising. <br /> � • Page <br /> 20 <br />
