MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, March 23, 2009 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br />PAGE 7 of 11 <br />(6. #08-3386 JASIN LARSON, 3485 CRYSTAL PLACE, Continued) <br /> <br />Larson stated his designer drew in the two doors and that he would prefer the two doors if at all possible. <br />Larson stated he would be willing to reduce the size of the doors to eight feet wide with a small area <br />between the two. Larson indicated he would use the upper story of the garage for storage. <br /> <br />Franchot asked whether the neighbors are in support of the project. <br /> <br />Turner indicated there were no neighbors in opposition to the project. <br /> <br />McMillan asked what the increase in hardcover would be with the two 8-foot wide doors. <br /> <br />Murphy indicated the total hardcover would be approximately 39.3 percent. <br /> <br />Gaffron stated a standard door is nine feet, with a standard gap of two feet between the doors. <br /> <br />Franchot asked whether an 8-foot door is doable. <br /> <br />Gaffron commented it probably is but that he is not entirely sure. <br /> <br />Murphy stated he personally prefers the aesthetics of two doors. <br /> <br />Franchot indicated he is in agreement with Murphy. <br /> <br />McMillan noted this is new construction and that the slightly larger size of the garage to accommodate the <br />two doors would be acceptable as long as the applicant minimizes the space between the two doors as <br />much as possible. <br /> <br />Murphy stated it appears from the drawing that the building with the two doors is fairly symmetrical and <br />that the space on both sides of the doors is the same. Murphy stated he is not sure whether the size of the <br />doors could be scaled down. <br /> <br />Franchot moved, McMillan seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 5825, a Resolution Granting <br />Variances to Orono Code Section 78-1288 and 78-1511, 3485 Crystal Place, with the resolution <br />being amended to allow two 9-foot doors and increasing the allowable hardcover to 39.3 percent. <br />VOTE: Ayes 3, Nays 0. <br /> <br />*7. #09-3391 DAREN C.
