r 4. <br /> • ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> MINUTES FOR APRIL 20, 1998 <br /> (#8 - #2357 Susan and Kent Whitworth - Continued) <br /> Whitworth indicated that upon further study it might be best to extend the wall further than the <br /> proposed 60' and continue it to the north property line. <br /> Berg agreed with the proposal but would like some continuity with the appearance and materials <br /> used in the retaining walls of the adjacent property owners. <br /> McMillan stated tree replacement is necessary if trees over 6" in diameter are removed within the <br /> 0-75' shoreline setback area. <br /> Schroeder moved, Lindquist seconded,to approve Application#2357 to construct a retaining wall <br /> to the north property line keeping the overall appearance consistent with the neighboring retaining <br /> walls with an effort to preserve trees 6" in diameter or greater and/or mitigate the trees. This <br /> application is subject to approval from Hennepin County. Vote: Ayes 6,Nays 0. <br /> • Whitworth asked for clarification if he needed approval from Hennepin County prior to obtaining <br /> a building permit. Schroeder said the Council would probably make it a condition of approval. Van <br /> Zomeren also asked for a determination of the actual amount of hardcover. <br /> (#9)#2358 RANDY AND MARIE STAFFANSON, 1422 PARK DRIVE-VARIANCES-8:10- <br /> 8:20 P.M. <br /> The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. <br /> The Applicant was present. <br /> Van Zomeren stated a fire destroyed applicants' garage. A 24'x26' garage is proposed by moving <br /> it forward of the previous footprint approximately 5-7'. The triangular shape of the property presents <br /> a hardship for the location of the new accessory structure. The previous garage encroached in the <br /> 10' side yard setback area by 6.16'. The new garage will encroach slightly more than that because <br /> it will move forward and the distance between the garage and side lot line decreases as the garage <br /> moves towards the front lot line. The property is located in the 250-500' setback area. The <br /> hardcover currently exceeds 30%but the applicant is proposing less hardcover because the proposed <br /> addition would move forward and be located over a portion of the existing driveway. <br /> Staffanson noted a discrepancy in the size. The garage is proposed to be 24'x30'. <br /> • <br /> 9 <br />
