MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON NOVEMBER 13, 1995 ( #10 - #2066 Robert and Iris Waade - Continued) Gaffron reported that the application was for a number of variances and additions to a home located on the east side of Shoreline Drive. The house is located within the 0 -75' zone. The original proposal was to add a second story to the home with a 10:12 pitched roof. The Planning Commission said that this would be too much for the lot and could not recommend approval. The applicant then came back with a proposal for just a pitched roof over the existing one -story home with a number of additions. The carport area is to be built in and used as living space. The garage would be added onto to create a third stall. There would be a bump out in one area, and the entry way would be squared off. There would also be an angled addition. The roof would also be pitched over the carport area. No height variance is required. The side setback requirement is 30'. The garage is currently at 8' and is proposed at 16'. The carport bump out is located at 19' where 30' is required. The entry way and roof overhang is located in the 0 -75' zone. Regarding the average lakeshore setback line, the house to the north does not view the property. The house to the south already has limited view. The Planning Commission did not feel this was an issue. The hardcover of bituminous walkway located under the deck would be changed to a non - hardcover of gravel with no underlayment. A back out apron and parking area would be created eliminating the loop. Hardcover in the 0 -75' zone would decrease from • 39.18% to 36.14 %. Hardcover in the 75 -250' zone would decrease from 16% to 9.25 %. The lot coverage by structure is proposed at 15.37% where 15% is allowed. Waade noted that the 4' overhangs would be eliminated and rebuilt to 1-1/2'. All of the additions are within the original overhang depth. Hurr asked if there was any way to keep the lot coverage within the 15% allowable. Waade said he made an attempt to do so but was unable to create a functional floor plan. The garage area would be increased from 2 stalls to 3 with one stall being 30' in length. It was noted that there are no storage sheds. on the property. Gaffron reported that the .37% overage in lot coverage amounts to 100 s.f. Hurr said it was her opinion that the lot coverage should meet the 15% allowable. Waade asked if the overhang was considered. Gaffron explained that the overhang is not included in either the hardcover or lot coverage calculations. Goetten said she appreciated the concern with the lot coverage exceeding 15% but looked at the significant improvements to the property. She expressed her appreciation of the proposal. • Goetten moved, Jabbour seconded, to adopt Resolution #3633. 9
