ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD FEBRUARY 25, 1991 <br />( #3)ZONING FILE $1605 - LINDTROM CONTINUED <br />position on the second story addition. Perhaps Council can <br />provide some specific information that may help to revise their <br />plan. Does Council believe that the average lakeshore setback is <br />an issue? <br />I have been asked by the applicant to note that drainage <br />coming off of the house goes north and back around through the <br />neighboring property before entering the lake. It is their <br />_ preference that Council not adopt the resolution for denial, but <br />give them an opportunity to revise their plan." <br />- Goetten stated that she had no objection to tabling _this in -.-4- <br />application. She said, "My concerns focus mainly on the* amount <br />of structure on this substandard lot. Wi_-h regard to the <br />proposed pool, I do not favor the exchange of non - structural <br />hardcover to structural hardcover.

The house is located approximately 45 feet from <br />the lake." <br />Goetten stated that she did not oppose the average lakeshore <br />setback Variance requested in this case. <br />Jabbour asked if either of Dr. Lindstrom's neighbors had <br />expressed any opposition to this proposal. <br />Gaffron replied, "No objection was expressed by either <br />neighbor." <br />Jabbour stated that he had no objection to the average <br />lakeshore setback Variance. He said, "The project as presented <br />is substantially over - ambitious for the size of the lot. I think <br />the Hardcover Ordinance serves as a means to not only protect the <br />lake, but regulate what kind of house is constructed on a <br />- 2 - <br />
