• MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,October 17,2016 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Thiesse asked if the road is counted in the calculations. <br /> Barnhart stated Crystal Bay Road is within the property but is not within the hardcover calculations or the <br /> lot size. <br /> Whitney Windmiller, Applicant, stated if the road is taken out of the calculation,that gets them to 17 <br /> percent,but if the road is included,the structural coverage would be at 15 percent. <br /> Barnhart stated Staff generally in these situations imagines that the land or road is not there for purposes <br /> of calculations. <br /> Thiesse commented he finds it unfortunate there is a road there. <br /> Schoenzeit stated anytime there is a property where there is not an existing easement for the utilities, <br /> some leeway is in order since the City is an unlicensed user of the land. Schoenzeit stated any <br /> accommodations made for the pipe and grading are great and justifies the variance requests. <br /> Lemke noted neither of the adjacent properties meet the 75-foot setback and that it would be tough to <br /> enforce it on this property when it is not enforced on the other two properties. <br /> Thiesse commented the house fits the character of the neighborhood. <br /> Schoenzeit noted it is not a new encroachment. <br /> Thiesse pointed out the patio encroaches a little bit further than what currently exists. <br /> Lemke commented he hates to see the three large oak trees removed. <br /> Thiesse asked if they have any concerns with winter construction. <br /> Blasko stated they do not. <br /> Schwingler commented it is a definite improvement to the area. <br /> Lemke moved, Schoenzeit seconded,to recommend approval of Application No. 16-3875,Pillar <br /> Homes Partner,Inc.,on behalf of Whitney Windmiller and Greg Blasko,3295 Crystal Bay Road, <br /> granting of lot area,lake yard,rear yard,and structural coverage variances,subject to monitoring <br /> and verifying the condition of the gravel driveway and further subject to an easement being <br /> provided.
