MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,November 21,2016 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Gaffron concurred that type of language would probably make the most sense. <br /> Schoenzeit stated in many ways the expectations with this development are that the yellow pads will be <br /> the building pads. <br /> Thiesse asked if Mr. Stickney is okay with the blanket variance only applying to the original homes in the <br /> development. <br /> Stickney stated the building pads would still get reviewed and they will have to comply with the <br /> covenants. <br /> Landgraver noted the blanket variance would supersede the covenants. <br /> Stickney stated given the nature and size of the properties,they will have enough room to build and have <br /> a yard. Stickney stated he will not allow anyone to be 100 feet from the lake. <br /> Landgraver noted the suggested language by Staff states the community development director will make <br /> the determination and that he would suggest the language also include"or a similar staff person" since <br /> titles could change. <br /> Leskinen moved,Schoenzeit seconded,to recommend approval of Application No. 16-3877, George <br /> Stickney on behalf of BPH Properties,930 and 970 Prairie View Lane,and 1020, 1050, 1100, 1160, <br /> and 1180 Mooney Lake Drive, granting of a blanket variance as proposed to exempt the seven lots <br /> from the average lakeshore average setback regulations, subject to making the variance applicable <br /> to the original homes only,and subject to the language being revised to say the community <br /> development director or similar city agent.

A monument style sign, no higher than ten feet, set back at least ten feet from the property <br /> line is permitted in the business zoning districts. <br /> Barnhart stated the notification area included properties within 350 feet,with the large majority of the <br /> properties being commercial. Barnhart noted an email comment was received late this afternoon <br /> expressing a concern regarding the visibility of the sign. <br /> Barnhart stated the proposed sign is 18 feet,two inches tall and 36.22 square feet. The original pylon sign <br /> was 43.5 square feet and 8 feet, 2 inches from grade to the top of the sign and was removed in May of <br /> 2015. The proposed sign will be located at the property line in the northeast corner of the site. A portion <br /> of the right-of-way juts into the Lund's property to accommodate some traffic control devices. The <br /> proposed sign will also include two brick veneer columns. The veneer will match the veneer used in the <br /> principal structure. The sign structure will include a standing seam metal roof over the sign face, which <br /> will be green and backlit. <br /> Page 6 of 26 <br />
