MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, October 8, 2018 7:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 4 of 18 Walsh stated it is a conforming lot based on what is being presented currently and that the Dunkleys are not precluded from asking for something else. The City Council will be voting on what is being presented this evening. Kelly Hueler asked whether there would be a process to change the code. Walsh stated in order for the code to be changed, it would need to go before the Planning Commission, public input would be obtained, and then the City Council would discuss it. Kelly Hueler stated it is her understanding that the City Council bases their decisions on the code and that they do not get involved in private disputes between neighbors. Hueler stated she heard Sue Dunkley just say they have intentions to do something different. Hueler asked whether that has anything to do with a code change. Walsh stated the City does not preclude anyone from asking for a variance. All applications that are reviewed are always based on the current code and that the City Council does not get involved with private easements or disputes. Mayor Walsh closed the public hearing at 7:15 p.m. Wash noted this is a conforming lot and that the applicants are not requesting any variances. Seals asked how the grading, drainage and stormwater issues will be addressed. Curtis indicated those will be taken care of at the time of final plat. Printup moved, Dankey seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 6907, a Resolution Approving a Preliminary Plat for the Plat of Pence Lane Addition. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. 10. LA18-000077 (LA18-000033 AND 18-4000) JOHN KNOBLAUCH ON BEHALF OF COLIN KELLER, 1335 ARBOR STREET, VARIANCE, PUBLIC HEARING - RESOLUTION NO. 6908 John Knoblauch, Contractor, was present. Oakden stated the applicant is requesting variances for side street setback and interior side setback. The site was subject to earlier variances back in May of 2018. The City Council at that time approved variances for lot area, lot width, front yard, side street and interior side yard setbacks. A new builder has applied for a building permit and is proposing two new encroachments: 1. Expand the house footprint over the approved window well into the interior side setback; expanding the structure and volume within the interior side 2. Creating a new bump-out within the side street yard setback outside of the approved house footprint; expanding the structure and volume within this setback.
