MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD SEPTEMBER 14, 1992- ( * #3) APPROVAL OF MINUTES It was moved by Goetten, seconded by Butler, to approve the minutes of the regular Council meeting of August 24, 1992. Ayes 5, nays 0. PUBLIC COMMENTS There were no public comments. ( #4) #1748 ROBERT & RITA HOVLAND, 1245 NORTH ARM DRIVE - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT /VARIANCE Rita Hovland was present. Mabusth explained that the application was reviewed by the Planning Commission at both the July and August meetings. Planning Commission denied the amended proposal based on size of the structure and the Planning Commission felt because of that size, the structure should meet the setback ordinance. The building has been reduced from 30'x33' to 25'x36'. Lot coverage was no longer an issue. Goetten suggested shifting the building thereby only requiring one variance. She questioned the structure width of 25' and noted boards come in 24' lengths. She stated it would be less expensive to build the garage at a 24' width. Jabbour noted the applicants may have felt they should not impose more on one-of the adjacent neighbors. He asked Mrs. Hovland to comment on Goetten's question.. Hovland stated once the walls are up, a 24' wide garage would be reduced to 23' of usable space inside and they need 24'. She pointed out one Planning Commission member did vote for the proposal because he felt they had followed the directives of the Planning Commission. Callahan referred to the minutes of the July 20th meeting where the applicants stated the reason the large garage was needed was because their son was moving into the house and has two vehicles and a boat. He asked if the applicants were trying to make the property hold more equipment than is feasible. Hovland noted the graveled area has been reduced to one car width and will be used more as a convenience as the garage is far from the entrance to the front of the house. 2
