MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON MARCH 20, 1995 ( #1 - #2000 - Cortlen Cloutier - Continued) Schroder moved, Peterson seconded, to table application #2000. Ayes 7, Nays 0. ( #2) #1950 GLENN UPTON, 3685 NORTH SHORE DRIVE - VARIANCES - CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING 7:53 -8:03 P.M. The Applicant, Mr. Upton, was present. The application originated in the summer of 1994 for an increase in hardcover in the 0 -75' setback requiring a variance for a deck. The Planning Commission denied the application. The applicant asked to go back to the Planning Commission with an amended plan. The amended plan is for 192 s.f of additional living space and 484 s.f for an attached garage. The amended proposal is for 52' Lakeshore setback, where 75' is required. It does meet the minimum DNR required setback of 50'. A hardship list is included as well as a petition from the neighbors which support the second proposal. John Erickson asked where the property was located from him. Erickson asked about the garage location, and how the proposal affects the deeded access and the public right-of- way. The original garage is being removed, and the new garage will be attached to the side of the house. The applicant said that the land crossing the public access had been deeded to him by the county. Schroeder said that this issue does not affect the application. Rowlette informed the applicant of the city ordinance disallowing any boats larger than 20' to be stored outside on a property. Schroeder noted the 68 s.f increase in hardcover in the 0 -75' zone with the remainder of the increase in the 75 -250' zone. He also noted the attempt by the applicant to meet as many requirements as he could and the large number of hardships pertaining to the application. Peterson asked about the status of the survey and side setback. It was determined that the survey had been updated last year with the filing of the current application. Mabusth and the applicant confirmed that the side setback requirement was met with 113. Nolan asked if the applicant was willing to remove the shed and other items located in that area, which the applicant said he would. Smith moved, Lindquist seconded, to approve applicant #2950 as amended with the condition that all hardcover removal be completed prior to construction to include shed • and miscellaneous items. The access garage could be retained until the proposed attached garage is completed. Ayes 7, Nays 0. 4
