MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, November 27, 2017 7:00 o'clock p.m. 9. PARKS CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN — Continued Printup stated he is a little hesitate about the trails given the number of other trails in the city and that he is not in favor of the boat for Big Island. Edwards indicated the City might have an option to partner on a boat with a sister city. Printup stated in his view the CIP is not over the top and that it would be nice to have some winter activities out at the golf course. The City Council took no formal action on this item. PLANNING DEPARTMENT REPORT 7. #17-3970 — PAUL VOGSTROM ON BEHALF OF WILLIAM AND SUE DUNKLEY, 209 WALTERS PORTS LANE, VARIANCES — RESOLUTION NO. 6811 Printup stated his main point with the application is that there appears to be a pretty big difference between what was presented at the Planning Commission and what is now being proposed. Printup noted the Planning Commission appears to be supportive of this plan based on their past comments. Walsh stated he would like to understand what has changed from the last meeting to today. Curtis stated following the feedback received at the Planning Commission regarding all of their applications, the applicants took a step back and looked at their primary goal, which is to construct the addition onto their home. Curtis stated while the applicants have bigger plans for the property, they are now focused on the addition and have removed their plans for the third lot at this point. Curtis stated the applicants are proposing to basically maintain a Pence Lane driveway, a Walters Port driveway, and a Walters Port address. The addition will require a variance to the 75 -foot setback and the average lakeshore setback, which will now be determined by the Hueller's home on the east and the house to the north. That setback line is completely behind the applicant's home, so therefore the addition is completely ahead of it. In addition, the applicants will be submitting a restoration plan to address the work that was done in the 0-75 to remove vegetation. The retaining walls in that area are no longer being proposed. There is 130 square feet of additional structure within the 0-75 foot setback, which is the connection between the existing home and the addition. The applicants will also be enclosing the area where there is a hot tub and a deck. Curtis noted the addition will be primarily behind the 75 -foot setback. Walsh stated he understands the issues with the connection and the hardship associated with that. Crosby asked if the applicants will be maintaining their Walters Port address. Curtis indicated they will be. Crosby asked if they will be selling off a portion of the second lot. Page 7 of 12
