ORONO REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING HELD AUGUST 13, 1990 <br />ZONING FILE #1553- PIERCE CONTINUED <br />Planning Commission." • <br />Mr. Pierce said, "I asked for three variances, but the major <br />project I wanted approved was the fence. I don't want to proceed <br />with the monuments until I know whether or not I can have a <br />fence." <br />Mayor Grabek reiterated that Mr. Pierce can have a fence <br />over 3h' tall, but that it must be at least 100' from the street. <br />Mr. Pierce asked what height limit he would have for a fence <br />placed 100' back from the road. <br />Mabusth replied, "The fence cannot exceed six feet. The <br />monuments can also be constructed to a maximum of six feet. <br />However, at a height over six .feet, the entrance monuments are <br />considered an accessory structure. If they are considered an <br />accessory structure, they cannot be in front of the front line of <br />the principal structure." <br />Mr. Biesterfeld asked whether it would be necessary for Mr. <br />Pierce to apply for a variance to construct a shelter for his <br />animals. <br />Mabusth replied, "The structure must meet certain setbacks, <br />but would not require any other variances." • <br />Ms. Ann Heggelman, 510 Deborah Drive, expressed concern <br />about locating the monuments 100' back. She said, "If the <br />monuments are placed 100' back, it would be directly in front of <br />my living room windows on the side of my house." <br />Mayor Grabek asked f4s. Heggelman if she has talked with Mr. <br />Pierce and expressed her concerns directly to him. <br />Ms. Heggelman indicated that she had not spoken to fir. <br />Pierce. <br />Mayor Grabek reiterated his comments regarding the need for <br />everyone to get together to discuss this matter and try to reach <br />a compromise. <br />Ms. Biesterfeld asked why the Council was not asking this <br />matter to first 'be resolved by the Homeowners' Association as <br />they did with the Deborah'Drive speed bump request. <br />Bernhardson replied, "The speed bump issue involved the <br />aspect of liability for the Homeowners' Association for the road. <br />The matter of architectural covenants is entirely different and <br />should be resolved with the assistance of the attorney for the <br />Association." <br />- 8 - • <br />
