MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> MONDAY,MARCH 19,2018 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> 7. LA18-000020 KUHL DESIGN,2280 FOX STREET,CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT,7:58 <br /> P.M.—8:04 P.M. <br /> Dan Murphy,Applicant,was present. <br /> Curtis stated the applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to construct a pool building with the <br /> installation of a full bathroom, including shower. The building will be used seasonally and is a permitted <br /> use. The bathroom facilities require a conditional use permit. <br /> A conditional use analysis was provided in the staff report. <br /> Staff did receive a phone call from a neighbor who had some questions about the proposal, but no formal <br /> concerns have been submitted. <br /> Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit conditioned upon septic system compliance and <br /> the property owner's agreement to the filing of a covenant in the title of the property providing that the <br /> accessory building will not be used for a home occupation unless specifically approved by the City or if <br /> allowed by this Code; used as a dwelling unless a guest house conditional use permit is obtained; or if <br /> rented, leased or otherwise provided for use as a dwelling under any circumstances. <br /> The Planning Commission had no questions for Staff. <br /> Dan Murphy,Kuhl Design Build, stated he knows one of the concerns for a conditional use permit is that <br /> the structure will be used as a dwelling. Murphy noted none of the walls are insulated and that there will <br /> be a sliding screen that goes up and down on the posts. In addition,there is no heat supply to the <br /> structure and as a result it can only be used during the summer. Murphy stated the structure will be <br /> strictly for pool use only. <br /> Murphy noted they are on track for septic approval and that the property owners have already paid for the <br /> septic and the money is in escrow with the City. Murphy indicated they are fine with the covenant. <br /> Murphy stated the neighbors down the road were talking about doing some pine tree landscaping along <br /> the roadway to make it more private and that he talked to the homeowner about it today. <br /> Schoenzeit asked how they can drain a chlorine pool with a septic system. <br /> Murphy indicated the pool is not drained and that it will be covered in the winter. <br /> Chair Thiesse opened the public hearing at 8:03 p.m. <br /> Page 17 of 23 <br />
