M BUTEI OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING — NOVEMBER 12, 1991 <br />APPLICATIN #1682 — CONT. <br />Butler felt that it was most unfortunate that the applicant did <br />not ask questions prior to pouring concrete. She noted that even <br />if the previous garage was in the exact same location, the new <br />garage must meet all pertinent setbacks. <br />Gaffron noted that .a garage over 750' s.f. must meet 15' setbacks <br />from the south, west and east lot lines. He noted that a smaller <br />garage could be constructed meeting 10' setbacks. <br />Jabbour felt this project too ambitious for this lot and noted <br />that the applicant doesn't necessarily have the right to a larger <br />garage. He noted that in a few months there may be new rules <br />even more restrictive for lakeshore lots. <br />Mayor Peterson felt that they all agreed the applicant does not <br />need a home occupation license. She noted the next issues to be <br />resolved. <br />Goetten asked if there was any way the garage could be moved to <br />allow it to remain and still keep it in conformity with codes. <br />Gaffron noted he didn't see how. He noted that to make it <br />conform, it would have to be made smaller and moved to a <br />different location. <br />Jabbour stated that the garage could possibly be reoriented on <br />the lot to conform. He asked if the fire code came into play with <br />this application. <br />Gaffron noted that is likely not an issue because the buildings <br />weren't close together, but if it did, firewalls could be <br />required. <br />Brickley noted that the garage was constructed at a size of <br />21x32'. <br />Gaffron noted that makes the garage less than 750' s.f., and 10' <br />setbacks would only be required, which eliminates the issue of <br />encroachment on the south side but it still remains for -the west <br />side. <br />Butler explained to the applicant the reason for Orono's <br />hardcover regulations. She felt the original garage size was <br />too much for this substandard lot. <br />Brickley noted that if the garage were to be smaller, she would <br />have to reinstall the two sheds which had been removed to storge <br />all her belongings. <br />Butler noted this would not be acceptable as it adds to the <br />hardcover percentages. <br />21 <br />
