MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,October 16,2017 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Sue Dunkley stated the Huelers will be able to access it and that they just moved the circle so the traffic <br /> would be away from the Huelers so they could keep their privacy. Dunkley indicated they can put the <br /> driveway back where it was. <br /> Lemke asked if the Planning Commission can approve some of the variances. <br /> Thiesse stated the Planning Commission can take them one at a time. <br /> Schoenzeit commented he has a problem with the rest of the variances where the first premise is wrong <br /> and that the applications should either be tabled or denied as presented. <br /> Thiesse stated he would like to discuss the applications further. <br /> Landgraver stated he is in agreement with what Chair Thiesse said. <br /> Curtis suggested the Planning Commission provide direction on each request because the applicant would <br /> like to move forward to the City Council. <br /> Thiesse stated he appreciates the work of the applicants but that they are requesting a number of variances <br /> to get to that point. Thiesse stated he is not inclined to accept a second back lot and their reduced <br /> percentages. <br /> Leskinen noted the property does not lend itself to meet the standards of a practical difficulty and because <br /> of that she cannot approve it. <br /> Schwingler indicated he is in agreement. <br /> Schoenzeit stated he is also in agreement. <br /> Lemke stated the application is somewhat incomplete and that he would love to see the proposal tidied up <br /> a little bit more. <br /> Landgraver stated if the back lot is denied,the question becomes what remains of the proposal. <br /> Landgraver stated he does not think it is appropriate for the Planning Commission to deny the <br /> applications outright and that perhaps they should table it. Landgraver stated he is in agreement with <br /> allowing Staff to do a lot line rearrangement. <br /> Schoenzeit moved,Landgraver seconded,to recommend denial of Application No. 17-3947,Paul <br /> Vogstrom on behalf of William and Sue Dunkley,2709 Walters Port Lane and 2710 Pence Lane, <br /> due to the second back lot variance requests,the lack of practical difficulties,and based on Staff's <br /> recommendations.VOTE: Ayes 6,Nays 0. <br /> Thiesse noted the next application for discussion will be Application No. 17-3970. Thiesse asked if the <br /> addition was shown on the sketch plan. <br /> Curtis stated she does not recall if it was included but it was discussed at the sketch plan review. <br /> Thiesse asked if the addition extends into the average lakeshore setback or the 0-75 foot zone. <br /> Page 13 of 32 <br />
