MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON AUGUST 28,1995 (#4 - #2033 Donald & Arlene Kielley - Continued) • Jabbour said only a slight encroachment exists in the 0-75' zone and saw no problem with this area. Mabusth added that the 0 -75' is grassed and gradually sloped to the lake. It was noted that the survey was completed two months ago. Callahan said the issue of a garage in the right -of -way is very troublesome. Hurr asked if it was addressed when the other garage was approved. Mabusth said the new garage was dealt with as a storage issue and required removal of pavement and a shed. Plastic and rock were not part of the calculations at that time. Kelley said he would consider approval of the addition if the garage located in the right - of -way was taken down. Jabbour asked if the garage could be moved in on the lot. Goetten and Hurr both noted the hardcover and lot coverage would increase with that scenario. Neither Staff nor Roelofs have seen the inside of the garage to view the construction. Goetten said changes to the garage have been brought before the applicant, and it is her assumption that Kielley does not wish to make any changes with the garage. Jabbour said the idea of moving the garage has not been discussed. Callahan said if the part of the garage encroaching the right -of -way were removed, the applicant would still have room for three cars, and no increase would result in hardcover. • Kelley asked if a garage were removed, if a variance for structural coverage was required. Mabusth said the structural coverage should be below 15% if one of the garages was removed. Kelley said he would deny the application as it now stands. Goetten inquired of the applicant if he would be willing to make changes to the garage located in the right -of -way. Kielley said it was his belief that the portion of the garage in the right -of -way was not credited for its structural coverage. Jabbour responded that the Council views public safety highly and would rather see the garage moved. If this was done, Jabbour said he would consider the options proposed. Kelley moved, Goetten seconded, to table the application to later in the meeting to allow the applicant to consider the alternatives. Ayes 5, Nays 0. When application proposal reconvened, Roelofs said he recognized the problems noted by Jabbour, and the applicant was willing to move the garage out of the right -of -way. r1 U 4
