Landgraver <br />stated once that information is obtained, the application could come back before the Planning <br />Commission. Landgraver asked if there is any time limitation on that. <br /> <br />Gaffron noted there is a 120-day total review period and that October 6 is the current deadline, which <br />could be extended if necessary. <br /> <br />Landgraver asked if the applicant understands what the next steps are. <br /> <br />Anderst indicated he understands. <br /> <br />Landgraver moved, Schoenzeit seconded, to table Application #13-3615, James Anderst on behalf <br />of Narrows, LLC, d/b/a Orono Liquors, 3384 and 3386 Shoreline Drive, Conditional Use Permit <br />for Restaurant Use.

The property consists of <br />.58 acres and is located in the RR-1B District. It is bordered by larger lots and open space. In 2011, they <br />received a variance to construct an addition to their home 25 feet from the south side lot line where a 30- <br />foot setback is required. Additionally, they have purchased the west 15 feet of Outlot A on the east, <br />which adds 15 feet to the rear of their property. In June the applicants received a permit to construct a 10’ <br />x 12’ deck on the northeastern corner of the house. The 10’ x 12’ deck met the required setbacks. <br /> <br />The applicants are now requesting approval for a 16’ x 18’ deck off the dining room on the rear of the <br />home which requires a side setback variance to allow the new deck to be located 25 feet from the south <br />Item #01 - PC Agenda - 09/16/2013 <br />Approval of Planning Commission Minutes 08/19/2013 [Page 8 of 28]
