- MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,Apri115,2013 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Leskinen indicated she is in agreement with Commissioner Landgraver and that the proposed project <br /> improves what is existing by moving structure further away from the lake. <br /> Schoenzeit noted this is new construction. <br /> Leskinen stated she is not sure what to do about it because if you pull it all the way back to the average <br /> lakeshore setback line, due to the house to the north,there will not be much of a view. <br /> Schoenzeit commented it would still be a view of the lake. Schoenzeit stated the practical difficulty of <br /> not being close enough to the lake does not work for him. <br /> Curtis stated the practical difficulty of the house to the northeast and the fact that the applicant's home <br /> does not adversely affect that property, balance each other out. The practical di�culty to locate the home <br /> ahead of that line may not be enough by itself, but because they are not negatively impacting their views, <br /> that is the piece that fits together. <br /> Schoenzeit pointed out if the other house is rebuilt,the house to the north could move up 100 feet. <br /> Leskinen asked what he would propose as a solution. <br /> Schoenzeit suggested perhaps splitting the difference. The fact that there is nothing stopping it from <br /> being pushed back, it should be as close to compliance as possible on new construction. <br /> Lemke stated the views to the lower left are a little bit restricted but the views to the right are tremendous, <br /> which is what the average setback is all about. <br /> Schoenzeit commented the view at the setback would still be spectacular to the right. <br /> Landgraver asked what the average lakeshore setback line is for the property to the north. <br /> Curtis stated it would be the difference between the property next to them and the lake. Currently it <br /> would be 70 feet if that is the setback of the current home. Curtis indicated they could go to the 75-foot <br /> line. <br /> Landgraver asked if Schoenzeit is suggesting pulling this house back to an arbitrary point and then <br /> locking in the northeast property. <br /> Schoenzeit stated this lot is like a blank sheet and that there is nothing forcing the placement of the house <br /> in that location. Schoenzeit noted they would also be adding hardcover to the driveway to push it <br /> � forward. <br /> Landgraver stated if you do that,you would be imposing on the next door neighbor. <br /> Schoenzeit stated since this is new construction,a large lot, and a fabulous view on the one side, it would <br /> seem reasonable. <br /> Krogness asked if Commissioner Schoenzeit is suggesting they move it back to the average lakeshore <br /> setback line or halfway. <br /> Page 8 of 26 <br />
