lvDffTEs of THE REGULAR <br /> oRONO CITY COUNCIL <br /> MEETING HELD ON OCTOBER 9, 1995 <br /> (94 -42449 Chic Dwight/Fred Guttormson - Continued) <br /> Jabbour inquired what the applicant would be allowed to repair on the deck if the <br /> recommendation was not approved, noting that the current railing <br /> does not meet code. <br /> Gaffron said boards could be replaced without a variance. The question is at what level <br /> p <br /> of replacement a variance is needed. If a deck is totally removed, it would require a <br /> variance to rebuild it. The City would likely approve a variance required to maintain the <br /> safety of an existing deck <br /> - <br /> M, <br /> Jabbour asked if the change from a window to a walkout door requires a variance. <br /> Gaffron said the variance, as well as a conditional use permit, is required because of the <br /> excavation. <br /> Hurr said she was concerned with the decks encroachment on the Lakeshore. The <br /> applicant noted that if the deck was asked to be removed, he would not proceed with the <br /> other proposed projects. Hurr said, even if the applicant would not proceed with the <br /> other improvements, she could not support the lakeshore deck remaining. Hurr was in <br /> support of the other recommended projects;though, she did voice some concern of the <br /> excavation. <br /> Goetten said she <br /> was also concerned with setting a precedent by allowing excavation for <br /> a walkout and would not support it. She emphasized the majority of the home being <br /> within the 4-75'zone. Goetten said she would support the screened porch and deck but <br /> not the deck at the lakeside. <br /> i <br /> Jabbour said he takes a more realistic approach to the application. He noted that the <br /> deck is already there and would be rebuilt. The screened porch would be over and above <br /> a patio, which is hardcover anyways. Jabbour saw the tradeoffs as substantial to the <br /> goals of the Ci the property has been extensively cleaned up. He saw the removal of <br /> the rock areas, driveway to the lake, and two sheds as major contributions to hardcover <br /> removal and 99% of what the City would like removed. Jabbour said he would not <br /> support the boulder walls unless they were to stabilize the ground. He did support the <br /> walkout. <br /> Kelley asked about the condition of the deck at the lakeside. Gaffron said he has seen it <br /> but not walked on it. The applicant said it was in good shape. Kelley asked Gaffron how <br /> much repair could be done to this deck. Gaffron said structural repairs could be allowed <br /> up to a value of 50% of the value at the time the deck became nonconforming, probably <br /> in 1975. He was not aware if the deck was there at that time nor whether its value had <br /> been established. The applicant said the house was built in 1970. Kelley asked if a <br /> grading plan had been presented at that time. Gaffron said probably not. The applicant <br /> said he has the original plans. <br /> 4 <br />
