MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD FEBRUARY 8, 1993 ZONING FILE #1792 - CONT. Mabusth explained due to the newly adopted shoreland regulations, the building envelope encroaches the Lakeshore protected area. The City has approved a 25' right -of -way width for Leaf Street, thereby reducing the street setback. She noted during the Planning Commission review there was discussion of the ponding area and Mr. Gronberg suggested that if the dam were removed, the setback would be met. She indicated it is unlikely the dam will ever be removed. She noted the deck is proposed at 25' from the lakeshore, and 55' for the principal structure. The footprint of the house is 3,700 s.f., which Is well above the average in the neighborhood. Mayor Callahan asked if it were possible to locate the house on the lot meeting the Lakeshore setback. Gronberg noted other properties along Leaf Street have provided the 33' right -of -way, thus making those homes 8' further back on the property than this one will be. He stated the house is 2,200 s.f. plus the garage and deck areas. He noted the setbacks of other houses along the creek. He added the DNR's recommendation was a 50' setback. • Jabbour noted the DNR recommended a 50' setback for the entire lake area, but Orono felt a 75' setback was more beneficial. Goetten inquired how much further back the house would have to be to meet the setback. Jabbour stated this area Is zoned 2 acre minimum to accommodate septic requirements, but since sewer Is provided, he felt it would be better to reduce the side lot line, and maintain the required lakeshore setback. It was moved by Mayor Callahan, seconded by Goetten, to table Application #1792 for Don Gronberg, 110 Leaf Street, to allow the applicant time to reconsider his proposal. Ayes 4, nays 0.
