MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,Apri115,2013 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Gaffron stated you would be assuming terraces are going to be built in the ground. Part of the code talks <br /> about how close you can get to the property line when making grading changes. That would have a <br /> bigger impact when the neighbor's property is higher and the work is lower. In one particular situation a <br /> resident had constructed a wall and the neighbor was concerned about falling over the wall. <br /> Schoenzeit stated the terracing to put that negative retaining wall should be allowed. <br /> Gaffron indicated he will look at that. In addition,the following changes have been made to Section <br /> 1405: <br /> 1405(2): Reference to sign ordinances added; language changed to clarify setback requirement. <br /> 1405(3): Added window wells, driveways, sidewalks, and parking areas to list of allowed low or <br /> at-grade structures. <br /> . 1405(4): Added `cantilevers' which is a more contemporary term for bays; added the word <br /> `aggregate' to specify that the total of all encroaching bays/cantilevers cannot exceed 20 <br /> square feet(if this is not added, it could be interpreted that many individual but separated <br /> bays and cantilevers would be possible for a single building);fire escape depth added to <br /> place some limit on the encroachment. <br /> Schoenzeit asked if these would be considered structural. <br /> � Gaffron indicated they would be structural. <br /> Curtis stated she does not have the definition in front of her tonight, but to her recollection it has to be <br /> four feet from the ground to not be considered hardcover. <br /> Landgraver commented he is not sure whether 20 square feet is the right number and that perhaps it <br /> should be an aggregate number. <br /> Gaffron indicated he will leave the language as is for now. Gaffron stated as it relates to Section 1405(5), <br /> they added `laundry drying equipment' as a non-encroachment in rear yard but must meet 5' setback. <br /> 1405(7): Added new entry for air conditioning or heating equipment and added that it can be <br /> within a required yard but must be located within 5 feet of the building it serves;not <br /> within an existing or required drainage and/or utility easement; and must be at least 5 feet <br /> from any lot line. � <br /> Gaffron stated if you are in a neighborhood with 10-foot setbacks,your air-conditioning unit would need <br /> to be within five feet of the house and cannot be located within five feet of the lot line. <br /> Lemke asked if geothermal would be included in that. <br /> Gaffron noted geothermal is underground. <br /> Lemke suggested the language include the word above ground. <br /> Page 23 of 26 <br />
