1 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING • HELD FEBRUARY 22, 1993 ( #5) #1797 TROY ANDERSON, 1490 LONG LAKE BOULEVARD - VARIANCE - RESOLUTION #3237 Mr. Anderson was present. Weckman explained this is a request to allow expansion of the existing residence by adding a second story within a non - conforming side setback. The property is within the limits for lot coverage and hardcover. The Planning Commission voted to recommend the applicant provide screening along the west property line. The applicant proposes planting along the lot line 8 to 10' tall pyramidal arborvitae, which will grow 6 to 8" per year. Anderson noted the addition is needed as the house only has one bedroom, and this will add two more. He said he has discussed the proposed screening with the neighbor to the west, who seems agreeable with the plan. Jabbour felt they should not place a required height on the trees to be planted. Hurr felt they should be at least 6' tall. • Kelley felt if the variance is to be granted, it is the least the applicant can do to screen it from the most affected property owner. Weckman reported at the last meeting with the applicant and the adjacent property owner, it was understood that the applicant would plant trees 8 to 10' tall. It was moved by Hurr, seconded by Kelley, to adopt Resolution #3237 for Application #1797, Troy Anderson, 1490 Long Lake Boulevard, approving a side setback variance to allow the expansion of the existing residence by adding a second story.
