. MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,June 18,2012 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Gaffron stated to his knowledge he has not seen a depiction of the garage. <br /> Levang commented it appears to have some possible room at the top of the garage for an upper level. <br /> Landgraver asked where the majority of the wooded area starts. � <br /> Gaffron indicated it is approximately by the pool. As proposed,the bulk of the house would be located at <br /> the edge of the woods. As the house is moved further back,more of the woods would be impacted. <br /> Levang asked if Staff has a concern about noise from the pool. <br /> Gaffron stated the City does not have a specific ordinance for single-family residential areas to deal with <br /> noise from pools or noise from vehicles. There are limits on when construction can occur and decibel <br /> limits,but generally there are no special requirements on this lot that would not apply to any other <br /> property in the City. Gaffron stated it would be highly unusual for the City to impose a special restriction <br /> on noise level. <br /> Levang asked where vehicles would park during construction. <br /> Gaffron stated Staff recently reviewed an application where the road was 20 feet wide and had no parking <br /> on either side without impacting traffic. In this situation there is approximately 300 or 400 feet of <br /> potential driveway that could be parked on and that Staff does not feel it will be an issue. <br /> Jack Smuckler stated the garage would be one story with possible attic space above it. The lot has a <br /> number of pine trees on it so in the winter and summer it is screened. Smuckler indicated their main <br /> objective is to save as much of the wooded area as possible. <br /> Levang asked why he believes there is no view from 1920. <br /> Smuckler stated there would be garage and one window in the garage. Smuckler stated they cannot see <br /> the lake through the pine trees. Smuckler indicated he has talked to the property owner of 1920 and that <br /> they pushed the house back far enough so she can still have a view across the property of the lake. <br /> Smuckler indicated that property owner can see past the proposed house and garage to the right-hand <br /> corner of the property and that they have pushed it back approximately 45 feet from the 250 line. <br /> Lemke asked if the house was pushed back another 30 feet,how many trees would be impacted. <br /> Smuckler indicated you would probably lose the majority of the trees. <br /> Thiesse asked if the trees would be lost because of the new grading contour on the west side of the pool. <br /> Smuckler indicated he is not sure how that would impact the trees. <br /> Acting Chair Leskinen opened the public hearing at 7:47 p.m. <br /> Greg Coward, 1950 Heritage Drive, stated his properiy is the property that was referenced earlier and that <br /> they share a couple 100 feet of common boundary. Coward indicated if you look at the page in the packet <br /> Page <br /> 12 <br />
