MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON APRIL 10, 1995 • (Public Comments - Continued) Callahan expressed the Council's wish to assist the committee with support in the grant application. Callahan suggested tabling the issue for two weeks while the Staff explores the options available and report back to Council members. The Council will discuss if and how they can assist in the grant effort and schedule the public hearing if warranted. Jabbour reported that, although the City was unable to provide funds at this time, the City supports these efforts through other means, i.e., removing properties from the tax rolls, and added that the Saga Hill Preservation Committee's efforts were within the open space philosophy of the City. ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT ( #5) #1950 GLENN UPTON, 3685 NORTH SHORE DRIVE - VARIANCES - RESOLUTION #3547 Mr. Upton was present. Mabusth reported that the applicant requested last fall to reschedule the application before the Planning Commission in order to present an amended plan. The Planning Commission unanimously approved the amended application for an addition of 195 sT of living space and an attached two -car garage. This results in an additional 68 s.f. of • hardcover in the 0 -75' zone based on the removal of several structures and pavings. The hardcover in the 75 -250' zone is located within the area of the access easement. 550 s.f. of new drive and back out apron are located in that zone. There are no other variances required. The application meets the side and street setback requirements. Goetten asked for clarification of new hardcover in the 0 -75' area. Mabusth reported that the garage is part of the new encroachment, but because of the access and utility easement, the applicant is very limited as to where structure can be placed. Goetten is not in favor of adding hardcover in the 0 -75' zone but realized the limitations of the property. Upton commented on a petition from neighbors in support of the project. Jabbour commented on the efforts made by the applicant in meeting the requirements of the City. Goetten agreed. Jabbour moved, Goetten seconded, to approve Resolution #3547. Ayes 3, Nays 0. ( *#6) #2003 ART & KATHY HENNINGSEN, 975 TONKAWA ROAD - VARIANCES - RESOLUTION #3548 Jabbour moved, Goetten seconded, to adopt Resolution 93548. Ayes 3, Nays 0. C]
