The Orono Planning Commission voted on a motion to recommend approval as follows:

in place, with the retaining walls north of the garage to also remain.
3) Hardcover excesses approved subject to proposing excess hardcover mitigation measures such as
rain gardens and/or lakeshore buffers strips.
4) Because the lot coverage by structures as proposed is 2,249 s.f. (15.2%) as depicted in the sketches
provided, applicant shall submit a revised conceptual building plan meeting the 2,220 s.f. (15%)
limit.
5) The detached garage façades must be updated to match the architectural styling of the proposed
house.
6) Applicant is advised that there are likely going to be street parking difficulties during the

17, 2012 which was included in the staff report dated May 18, 2012.
