f MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON MAY 8, 1995 ( *#6) #1921 ivLXRY ULRICH, 1000 LOMA LINDA AVENUE - PRELIMINARY • SUBDIVISION - RESOLUTION #3556 Hurr moved, Jabbour seconded, to approve Resolution #3556 for a preliminary subdivision for Mary Ulrich of 1000 Loma Linda Avenue. Ayes 4, Nays 0. ( #7) #2009 TOM AND MAUREEN PALM, 1685 CONCORDIA STREET - VARIANCES - RESOLUTION #3557 Mr. & Mrs. Palm were present. Mabusth reviewed the application. The property is located on the Lakeshore side of Concordia. An application was previously approved in 12/94 for a second level over the existing 20'x54' single story structure requiring approval of an average lakeshore setback, hardcover, and lakeshore setback variances. After reviewing plans with builders, the Palm's were advised to rebuild the structure. The Palm's plan is to rebuild a new two -level structure 50' from the lakeshore with a deck 40' from the lakeshore. The deck would extend 10' in front of the average lakeshore setback line. The application would result in hardcover reductions. At present, two - thirds of the structure is within the 0 -75' setback. The new 30'x46' structure would result in half being located in the lakeshore protected area, with the side setback being met but not the • lakeshore setback. The residence would not encroach the average lakeshore setback line but the deck would extend into that line by 10'. The hardship statement compares the hardships with those noted in the previous application. It was noted that the drainage of the property actually slopes away from the lake, which aided in the Planning Commission's approval by a vote of 5 for, 2 against. The two members who voted nay were not in favor of encroachment of new construction within the lakeshore protected area. The applicant had noted that if the lakeshore setback was met, the residence would face the rear of existing homes. Mabusth noted that the new owner of the residence to the left of this property had no plans to rebuild. Hurr opined that she saw no hardship for the deck encroaching into the average lakeshore setback noting that the applicant would still be granted a variance with the home located at the 50' line. The applicant reviewed the background of the application and his attempt to meet the important issues desired by the City. Palm said that the proposed deck would be at ground level with no rail, and the deck is now located at 29' from the lake. Palm said the deck plans were reviewed with Ceil Strauss of the DNR, who saw no problems with it's location. is
