MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL ` MEETING HELD ON MAY 8, 1995 ( 97 - #2009 Palm - Continued) • Kelley noted that neither home on each side of the Palm residence had decks. Hurr said if the deck were that important to them that the house could be moved back 10' to accomodate the deck on the lakeside. Hurr also noted that the only reason the residence would be approved at the 50' setback is because of the location of the other homes. Jabbour appreciated the applicants' attempt to improve the situation by meeting many setbacks and reducing hardcover, but with the pressure from redevelopment, there is a need to adhere to the ordinances to gain compliance by all applicants. Jabbour also said there was a true hardship with the existing home, where a person must live with it as it is; but he saw no hardship when a home is rebuilt. Hurr moved, Jabbour seconded, to approve Resolution 93557 noting no structure, including residence or deck, could encroach into the 50' average lakeshore setback line. Ayes 4, Nays 0. Callahan remarked that the location of the home was discussed at the Planning Commission meeting. It was noted that due to the curve of the lakeshore, the other homes were well in front of this home. The Planning Commission discussed how if the application was required to meet the 75' required setback, it would result in an eventual change to other homes in the area also meeting the same 75' setback. Mabusth commented that Planning Commission members noted that the drainage pattern • of the property resulted in drainage being directed away from the lakeshore. Callahan questioned if this was a good reason to not require the 75' setback. Mabusth noted that where hardcover excesses exist, drainage patterns were considered. Callahan was concerned that this situation would be brought up with each new application in the future. It was decided to remove the drainage findings from the application. ( #8) #2010 JAMES JUNDT, 1400 BRACKETTS POINT ROAD - VARIANCES - RESOLUTION #3558 Hurr had a question about the combination of the three lots into one. Mabusth said that this had been required in 1992, and this was also confirmed by Scott Crawford of Kraus Anderson that it had been done. Hun's copy of the property owners' fist did not reflect this, which resulted in her questioning if it had been done. Mabusth said that the original property owners list was used because there was no change in ownership, which is why the information of 1992 did not reflect the change of the combination. Hurr moved, Kelley seconded, to approve Resolution #3558 for variances for James and Joann Jundt with proof of lot combination prior to formal certification by clerk of the resolution. Ayes 4, Nays 0. Jabbour asked that any further variances be accumulated.
