MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL, MEETING HELD ON AUGUST 22, 1994 ( #4) #1913 GREG TRUCHINSRI, 1580 FOX STREET Continued CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT /VARIANCE Callahan asked for recommendation from staff. Mabusth stated that the Planning Commission okayed the permit because the owner and neighbor agreed to it. If Staff were to make recommendation, the current proposal should be denied because the antenna does not meet the requirements of the code and was installed without a building permit. Motion for denial, Ayes 3 -Hurr, Tabbour, Goetten; Nay 2- Kelley, Callahan. Motion denied. ( #5) #1947 SAILORS WORLD, 1955 SHORELINE DRIVE AMENDED VARIANCE APPLICATION Mabusth stated applicant, Gary DeSantis, wished to amend an original variance application to move the storage building because it blocks the lake view of neighbor, Camilo Castellon. The 8'x20' storage module had been approved for stall #34. The Planning Commission viewed the sight and because of vegetation in the area, they considered either 16, 17, 18, 19, or 20, all located within the 75 ft. of lake. Staff asked the DNR review the amended proposal. The DNR stated stalls 19 or 20 would at least meet their 50 ft setback requirement. DeSantis was not happy with 21 as it also blocked the neighbor's view. The Engineer felt 20 was not a good option. Stalls recommended at • this point are 21 or 34. DeSantis wants to work with neighbor and keep in mind safety issues. He felt 19 would be the best solution. It was made clear by Mayor Callahan that this amendment was only being done to satisfy neighbor, and Mabusth stated this was true. Goetten reiterated the time that has been involved in placing the storage module and the need to stay within the setback parameters. It was moved by Hurr, seconded by Goetten to approve the amended variance application to allow storage module to be relocated to either stall 37 or 38. Ayes 5, Nays 0. (#6) #1951 KENDRICK B. MELROSE, 50 CRISTOFORI CIRCLE VARIANCE - RESOLUTION #3458 Gaffron reviewed the request for side setback variance for an addition to be located 31.4' from the south lot line where a 50' setback is normally required. The home is on 23 acres and is located in the southwest corner of the lot. Much of the lot is wetlands. The owner proposes to build a family room. He stated there would be no problem with view from neighbors. There are also steep slopes on the south side so there would likely be no new housing within 250 -300 feet. The existing house was placed 75' from the west lot line rather than the standard 100' through a variance granted in 1992, and at the 50' south side • setback due to the steeply sloping topography to the east and north. 4
