MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, March 17, 2014 <br />6:30 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />  <br />Page 11 of 26  <br />  <br />Curtis stated Staff is requesting clarification on the hardcover numbers with the 75-foot setback since a <br />portion of the house is located within the 75-foot setback. Curtis indicated there is some hardcover in a <br />conforming location but it is not separated out from the 0-75 foot zone. <br /> <br />Landgraver asked if additional information needs to be submitted on the stepping stones. <br /> <br />Curtis stated she would like clarification on whether that is still part of the project since the landscaping <br />plan is from last June. <br /> <br />Leskinen stated it appears there is no flagstone walkway being proposed currently. <br /> <br />Schwingler stated the outline by Patio H shows what was there before and on the proposed plan the little <br />block is the new elevated stairs. <br /> <br />Curtis stated that is what she understands it to be based on the survey and the applicant’s plan. Curtis <br />pointed out the larger patio area. <br /> <br />Lemke asked if the replacement is not in kind due to the elevated stairs <br /> <br />Curtis indicated it is also because they exist in an area that did not previously have hardcover. <br /> <br />Geer stated the majority of the stairs are located within the previous footprint of the brick patio and there <br />will only be a little piece that sticks out beyond the edges of where the pavers were previously. <br /> <br />Leskinen noted they were not elevated previously. <br /> <br />Geer stated they were not and that they are required to get from one elevation to another elevation. <br /> <br />Schwingler noted previously that was a wall. <br /> <br />Leskinen stated they could accomplish the same thing without encroaching any further and that she is not <br />inclined to increase the encroachment. <br /> <br />Schwingler and Berg indicated they are in agreement with that. <br /> <br />Leskinen asked if there are any concerns with the conditional use permit aspect of the application. <br /> <br />Landgraver indicated he does not have any. <br /> <br />Schoenzeit moved, Landgraver seconded, to recommend approval of Application No. 14-3656, <br />Brian Nelson on behalf of Thomas Randgaard, 2765 Shadywood Road, granting of an after-the-fact <br />variance and conditional use permit, subject to the conditions outlined in Staff’s report and the <br />City Engineer recommendations, and further subject to only allowing the use of the existing <br />hardcover with no further encroachment. VOTE: Ayes 6, Nays 0. <br /> <br />4. #14-3657 REVISIONS, LLC, ON BEHALF OF LUCAS AND ELIZABETH DETOR, 1065 <br />FERNDALE ROAD WEST, VARIANCE, 7:24 P.M. – 7:34 P.M. <br /> <br />Item #01 - PC Agenda - 04/21/2014 <br />Approval of Planning Commission Minutes 03/17/2014 <br />[Page 11 of 26]
