MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CM COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON AUGUST 25,1997 (#4 - #2238 Chic Dwight and Fred Guttormson - Continued) • Jabbour asked if there was any way to reduce the hardcover to off -set the new hardcover. Gaffron suggested the garage be moved forward. Gaffron also said he thought the loop could be eliminated with the ability for maneuvering within the large pad out of the 75' setback. He said the options had been explored, but the applicant's recreational vehicle would be difficult to maneuver. In comparison to other similar properties, Gaffron indicated that the loop is overbuilt. Dwight questioned whether other properties are able to park on their streets. Jabbour informed her that it was possible for the Council to allow parking again on the street. Jabbour informed the applicants that the Council rarely allows hardcover in the 0-75' setback and views the application similar to the Planning Commission. He noted that if the application was denied, the applicants could not submit a further application for six months. Peterson said she would support the screening of the deck but saw a problem with the extensive hardcover and the turnaround. She said she agrees with the Planning Commission recommendations on the trade -offs, especially in light of the fact that there is already a 2-car garage on the property.
