, MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> . Monday, October 16, 2000 <br /> (#2630 Gregg and Stephanie Larsen, Continued) <br /> Larsen commented he would prefer to give up a few feet of patio rather than reduce his <br /> driveway. Larsen suggested that perhaps the patio could be reduced to 25 feet wide rather <br /> than 30 feet. <br /> Stoddard stated a 12' by 25' patio would be approximately 300 square feet. <br /> Kluth stated in the past the Planning Commission has required that the Applicants keep the <br /> same amount of hardcover that is existing and not to exceed that. Kluth indicated he would be <br /> willing to allow the Applicant to have the same amount of hardcover as what currently <br /> exists but no more. <br /> Larsen stated he would like to get credit for the 135 square foot deck that has already been <br /> removed. Larsen noted that deck is not depicted on the survey. <br /> Berg stated she would like to see the patio reduced to 135 square feet or the size of the deck <br /> that was removed. <br /> Larsen indicated that the 135 square feet shown on the survey is actually a covered porch that <br /> will be converted into a three season porch. <br /> Lindquist stated there appears to be total existing hardcover in the amount of 5,811 square feet. <br /> Lindquist commented that there is some confusion because the Planning Commission does not <br /> know what hardcover cunently exists on the property. <br /> Kluth noted the 135 square feet for the deck that was removed is not included in the hardcover <br /> calculations. <br /> Berg stated that would make the 5,811 number inconect. <br /> Nygard stated an additional 135 square feet would need to be added to that amount. <br /> Larsen commented he also has removed some railroad ties and a dog run down to the lake. <br /> Lindquist stated he would be willing to allow the Applicant 5,946 square feet of hardcover, <br /> and it is up to the Applicant to determine what items will constitute that hardcover. <br /> Berg stated the Applicant will need to show on his survey the size and layout of the proposed <br /> patio. <br /> Kluth suggested that perhaps City Staff could work with the Applicant on this matter. <br /> Bottenberg commented that the 5,811 square feet includes 1,727 square feet of landscape <br /> plastic, which would leave 4,371 square feet of hardcover if the plastic were removed. <br /> Nygard stated you would need to add 135 square feet for the deck that has been removed, <br /> PAGE 25 <br />
