MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, August 19 2013 <br />6:30 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />  <br />Page 12 of 28  <br />  <br />Landgraver stated it would since it would come back before the Planning Commission. <br /> <br />Schwingler stated perhaps the application could be approved subject to the discrepancies being addressed. <br /> <br />Thiesse asked if the application could be approved with the caveat that the discrepancies are resolved. <br /> <br />Curtis stated if the Planning Commission is comfortable with the applicant’s plan as proposed and the <br />applicant provides the corrected numbers, she would be fine with moving it forward to the City Council. <br /> <br />Landgraver stated he understands the desire to move this application forward but the cleaner process may <br />be to table the application and finalize the numbers. <br /> <br />Johnson stated to his understanding the area that is in dispute here is grass cover and not hardcover. <br />Johnson indicated he is not sure what the issue is. <br /> <br />Landgraver asked if the hardcover number would remain the same. <br /> <br />Johnson stated to his knowledge it stays the same. <br /> <br />Curtis indicated Staff also had a question regarding the existing hardcover. There is an area surrounding <br />the porch entry that on the survey is represented as a brick landing to the stairs and on site there is clearly <br />additional hardcover on the north side of the entryway which is not reflected on the survey. <br /> <br />Johnson indicated he was not aware of that. <br /> <br />Landgraver stated there appears to be enough of a gray area to warrant tabling the application so the <br />applicant can respond to the concerns of Staff. <br /> <br />Johnson asked how long the application would be tabled. <br /> <br />Landgraver indicated approximately 30 days. <br /> <br />Curtis stated based on the information that is provided, the application could be placed on the Consent <br />Agenda. <br /> <br />Lemke moved, Thiesse seconded, to table Application #13-3618, Edward and Julie Lagerstrom, <br />2248 Shadywood Road. VOTE: Ayes 6, Nays 0. <br />6. #13-3619 PAUL AND JESSICA WARNER, 1380 BRIAR STREET, VARIANCES, 7:52 <br />P.M. to 7:59 P.M. <br /> <br />Paul Warner, Applicant, was present. <br /> <br />Curtis stated the applicants are requesting side, front, and rear yard setback variances in order to construct <br />additions to the existing home. The applicants’ current 800 square foot home was built in the 1920s. <br />According to the City’s records, the detached garage was constructed in 1957 and an addition to the home <br />was constructed in 1958. The property is 160 feet wide by only 87.5 feet deep and the required 50-foot <br />front and rear setbacks overlap.
