[ - ( ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES FOR AUGUST 17, 1998 • (#2390 DAVID RAHN, Continued) Berg stated a 22' by 22' garage is a minimum for a two-car garage. Rahn stated he owns a Suburban which requires a larger garage. Rahn questioned why the need to limit hardcover when he is located in a floodplain and the water runoff is filtered through the floodplain and does not go into the lake. Stoddard noted the residence is located in the 0-75'setback. Lindquist commented this lot probably should not have been approved as a buildable lot in the first place since the majority of it lies in the floodplain, but since it has been approved as a buildable lot by a previous council, the Planning Commission needs to set standards for the Applicant. Lindquist stated he would be comfortable with a 22' by 22'garage, with the stipulation that no additional hardcover of any kind be allowed on this property. Rahn stated he would like a 22' by 24'garage to accommodate his Suburban, and inquired whether the apron could be removed instead. Lindquist stated he would not approve a 22' by 24'garage. Lindquist moved, Stoddard seconded, to approve Application #2390 allowing the Applicant to construct a 22' by 22' garage with a driveway as outlined in the revised plans for property located at 1385 Rest Point Road, subject to the stipulation that no additional hardcover of any kind will be allowed on this property, and the shed presently located on the property will be removed, and further subject to the conditions outlined in the August 10, 1998 Planner's • Report. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 2, Smith and Hawn opposed. SCHEDULED PUBLIC HEARING (#4) #2408 MIKE HILBELINK ON BEHALF OF TED WOLF, 900 WILLOW DRIVE NORTH -LOT LINE REARRANGEMENT -6:59 p.m. -7:20 p.m. The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. Mike Hilbelink and Ted Wolf were present. Van Zomeren passed out information concerning back lot/front lot standards, noting there is some confusion after a discussion with the Applicant this afternoon surrounding accessory structure requirements. Van Zomeren stated in 1997 this property was platted into a two lot subdivision known as Wolf's Run. Lot 1 was platted as 4.02 acres and Lot 2 as 7.09 acres. The Applicant is requesting to move the division line between the two parcels 160 feet to the west to allow the back lot, Lot 2, to be larger. The front lot would then become 2.96 acres and the back lot would be comprised of 8.15 acres. The outlot would remain as a separate lot for access. Van Zomeren stated the front lot contains a barn that is approximately 20' x 30'. The RR-1B zoning district requires that setback for accessory structures be at least 50'from any lot line. The proposed lot line arrangement places the barn 10' from the new front lot line for the backlot. If the barn will be used to house animals, which it currently does not, the structure must be located 75' from the rear lot. • Page 3
