MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON MARCH 17, 1997 • ( #5 - #2213 Zimmerman - Continued) Stoddard asked if the applicant had considered a temporary dock. Zimmerman said the pilings were solid and other docks in the lagoon were permanent in nature. Stoddard noted movement of 4 -6" has taken place on the south side of the boat house. Applicant acknowledged the movement but was of the opinion that the boat house was structurally sound. There were no public comments. Smith moved, Stoddard seconded, to approve Application #2213 subject to receipt of LMCD and DNR permits prior to issuance of the building permit with the condition that no concurrent work take place on the boat house. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. ( #6) #2214 RICHARD KOZICKY, 2016 SHADYWOOD ROAD - VARIANCES - PUBLIC HEARING 7:15 -7:41 P.M. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. The Applicant was present. • Van Zomeren reported that the application is a request for modifications to an existing residence and garage requiring variances for average lakeshore setback, hardcover in the 0 -75' and 75 -250' setback areas, and structural coverage. The property is located in the LRI -C One Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District. An encroachment into the required side yard occurs due to the 3' overhang of the eaves. The existing hardcover in the 0 -75' is a result of the topography of the property and is proposed to remain. It was noted that the circular driveway allows for access to a neighboring property to the north. The hardships listed include the topography, speeds on the County highway and curve on the roadway. The proposal includes removing the existing garage, adding a new laundry room and garage, and remodeling the lakeside to add a family room and a new deck. The hardcover calculations in the 0 -75' setback require a 11.6% variance and a 25.33% variance in the 75 -250' setback. The lot does not meet the 1/2 acre requirement. The district allows for 15% structural coverage which is proposed at 19.62 %. Van Zomeren said Staff recommends less structural coverage and a reduction in the size of the overhang from 3' to 1'6 ", which encroaches into the 10' side setback. When asked to address the issues, Kozicky said the overhang is proposed to follow the existing overhang of the house to architecturally match what currently exists. Van Zomeren noted that a 1 -1 /2' overhang is a non - encorachment in a side yard. The applicant questioned how the average lakeshore setback line was drawn. Van Zomeren said Staff • would reevaluate the line.
