MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON SEPTI EMBLn 1, 3» ( #10 - 92057 James Nystrom - Continued) • Frazee said the home was designed as an understated cottage with an upper master bedroom and bath. With the narrowness of the lot, the applicant wanted a low profile. If the house were to be made narrower, it would require a second story design. Frazee said this would not be in keeping with the neighborhood. Hurr voiced concern with the house height changing in the future if this proposal were approved. Hurr said she was concerned with the drip line from the proposed residence. The code requires a 10' separation with a maximum allowed 1 -1/2' encroachment of an overhang in the 10' setback. The proposed residence shows a 9.5' setback and 2.2' overhang, which would bring the roof drip line closer to the side setback line. It was noted that the neighbor's home to the south sits on the lot line as well as the garage. It was said that a new home would be anticipated in the future on the lot to the north. Kelley said he agreed with the need to meet the side setback and maintain the house out of the 0 -75' zone. Kelley said this would require the house to be 1' narrower on each side with the overhang. Hun said this design requires more land than the lot provides. Frazee said the owner took steps to make improvements on the lot by proposing a new house. Hurr noted the • old residence "on average" met the 10' side setback. Callahan questioned this conclusion, opining that it was better to move farther in than 1.6' as presently located on one side. Hurr said it was her opinion that the side setback should be met as well as no exceeding of the 1 -1/2' overhang allowable. Callahan noted that the house was moved out of the 0- 75' zone. Gaffron asked if the footprint to the house were to change, if the Council would like to see the application again. It was determined if the design met codes, met the side setbacks, met the 30' hardcover requirement, and was out of the 0 -75' zone, the Council would approve the application. Hurr moved, Kelley seconded, to approve Resolution 93602 with amendments as noted. Ayes 3, Nays 0.
