MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, May 19, 2014 <br />6:30 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />  <br />Page 8 of 31  <br />  <br />Leskinen stated she does not believe it would increase the hardcover if the shed is removed. <br /> <br />Schoenzeit stated the walls of the garage do not have to be made square. <br /> <br />Leskinen stated she would like to have a motion covering all the issues to avoid the applicant having to <br />come back but that the issue of the shed needs to be addressed. Leskinen stated the applicant can either <br />put the shed in a conforming location or increase the size of the garage. Leskinen stated she is not sure <br />whether the application would need to come back if the applicants can redesign it in such a way that it <br />will be conforming. <br /> <br />McGrann asked if the Planning Commission can approve a variance on the east side without notifying the <br />public. <br /> <br />Gaffron stated technically the Planning Commission should not approve it without providing notice. <br /> <br />Schoenzeit stated the Planning Commission could approve adding the space if it meets the setback but if <br />it encroaches, the application should come back to the Planning Commission. <br /> <br />Schoenzeit moved to recommend approval of Application No. 14-3664, David Schmid and Angela <br />Ciliberto, 3309 Crystal Bay Road, granting of a conditional use permit; granting of lot area and <br />width variances; granting of a hardcover variance; granting of lake setback and rear setback <br />variances, subject to Staff’s and the City Engineer’s recommendations, with the applicant being <br />given the option to either relocate the shed in a conforming location or to add the equivalent <br />amount of square footage on to the house or garage in a conforming location, with the <br />understanding the application will need to come back before the Planning Commission if the <br />additional square footage is not in a conforming location; and subject to City Staff conducting a <br />pre-inspection and post-inspection of the roadway. <br /> <br />Landgraver suggested Staff’s recommendation that all necessary precautions are taken to ensure that the <br />mature oak is not impacted by the construction be amended to say all reasonable precautions. Landgraver <br />stated in his view that is a fairly restrictive condition given the fact that it is a large oak tree, the new <br />house is being moved forward, and the old house is being removed. <br /> <br />Thiesse asked if the tree is outside the 0-75 foot zone. <br /> <br />Gaffron indicated it is within the 0-75-foot zone. Gaffron stated the applicants could be required to <br />replant if the oak tree is removed or dies as a result of the construction. <br /> <br />Landgraver concurred with that recommendation. <br /> <br />Schoenzeit amended his motion, McGrann seconded, to recommend approval of Application No. <br />14-3664, David Schmid and Angela Ciliberto, 3309 Crystal Bay Road, granting of a conditional use <br />permit; granting of lot area and width variances; granting of a hardcover variance; granting of <br />lake setback and rear setback variances, subject to Staff’s and the City Engineer’s <br />recommendations, with the applicant being given the option to either relocate the shed in a <br />conforming location or to add the equivalent amount of square footage on to the house or garage in <br />a conforming location, with the understanding the application will need to come back before the <br />Planning Commission if the additional square footage is not in a conforming location; and subject <br />Item #01 - PC Agenda - 06/16/2014 <br />Aproval of Planning Commission Minutes 05/19/2014 <br />[Page 8 of 31]
