MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON JULY 10, 1995 ( #8) #2030 RICHARD LAVERE, 995 WILDHURST TRAIL - VARIANCES - RESOLUTION #3578 . Mr. LaVere was present. Mabusth reported on a 1992 application for a 20x31' addition to the east side of the residence. A building permit was issue but the project was never completed. The present owner, LaVere, is asking to complete the project and add a lakeside deck. The deck would encroach 6' into the average lakeshore setback. There is 288 s.f of patio area existing under the proposed deck area. 90 s.f of walkway under a portion of the deck was removed as part of the original application. The applicant has reduced the deck 2- 1/2' for new structural hardcover of 523 s.f. placed over 288' of patio area. The detached garage was removed as part of the original application. 210 s.f of hardcover in landscape areas and street yard was removed. The Planning Commission recommended limiting the amount of hardcover to 35.4% in the 75 -250' setback area. This is the amount of hardcover that was thought to exist at that time. Calculations have been redone and hardcover updated to 36.1% with the applicant's proposal at 35.9 %. The difference between the recommendation and the proposal is about 30 s.f of hardcover. Jabbour moved, Kelley seconded, to approve Resolution #3578 per the Planning Commission recommendation of 35.4% of hardcover in the 75 -250' setback area. Ayes is 4, Nays 0. (#9) NORTH SHORE MARINA - CLUBHOUSE SEWER CONNECTION Gaffron reported a sewer connection permit was issued 25 years ago for the clubhouse structure on this property. During a recent maintenance call, it was found, to the surprise of all, that the clubhouse was still connected to a septic system. Staff recommends abandonment of the septic system and connection of the building to sewer via connection to the next building, and not to the main line, as there are many other utilities and pipes in this area which might be disturbed. Gaffron noted that non - structural repairs were approved last year after Council review, and this connection would add permanency to the structure. Staff does recommend the connection. Council asked what the procedure is when sewer permits are granted. Gallon said today inspections are done to ensure the work is properly completed. He cannot speak for what the procedure was 25 years ago. A permit was granted 25 years ago for two buildings including the building that is currently the clubhouse. Because only one permit was granted listing two addresses, Staff feels this may have some bearing on why this building was not connected. Staff recommends the other two buildings in this area of the property be checked to ensure that they are connected to sewer. • 6
