111V- 0 <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> MINUTES FOR SEPTEMBER 21, 1998 <br /> • (#2401 Thomas and Margaret Radke, continued) <br /> result in the removal of the existing shed. <br /> Weinberger stated the neighbors have signed letters stating they are in favor of the proposed <br /> structure. <br /> Staff recommends denial of the variance to allow the construction of an accessory structure on <br /> Outlot B based on the previous Resolution to allow only one accessory structure on the lot at the <br /> time the existing building was approved. <br /> Chair Smith noted all three properties have access off the same driveway. <br /> Radke stated he is required to pay taxes on the property and that the use for the outlot has <br /> changed. Radke stated the structure would enhance the property and would not be a detriment to <br /> the property. Radke also noted a portion of the property was donated to the City for a pump station. <br /> Weinberger stated this accessory structure will not be constructed on a permanent foundation. <br /> Radke commented the structure will be used to store lawn furniture, et cetera, and can be moved if <br /> necessary. <br /> Mrs. Radke stated their residence does not contain a basement due to the closeness of the lake and <br /> they are in need of additional storage room. <br /> Stoddard stated he does not have a problem with the proposed structure since the use of the lot has <br /> changed and is not needed for a septic system. Stoddard inquired what Gaffron thought about the <br /> • situation. <br /> Gaffron stated three substandard lots were created in 1980 in order to eliminate the marina, and a <br /> conclusion was reached to install a sewage treatment system on the outlot as well as allow one <br /> accessory structure. Gaffron stated it is reasonable to have one accessory structure on the property. <br /> McMillan inquired whether the lot lines could be rearranged and combined into the main lot. <br /> Gaffron stated if that occurred, an easement for the driveway would become necessary. <br /> Chair Smith inquired whether the neighbors have been asked whether they would be in favor of <br /> rearranging the lot lines. <br /> Radke commented he does not see the advantage to rearranging the lot lines. <br /> McMillan remarked since the outlot is no longer needed for septic, the lot lines could possibly be <br /> rearranged to avoid the need for a variance. <br /> Van Zomeren stated currently the outlot is not included in the hardcover numbers. <br /> Stoddard noted he is still in favor of the application. <br /> McMillan inquired whether the existing shed will remain. <br /> Radke stated it was the intent to keep the existing shed. <br /> • Weinberger stated the lot with the residence located on it is pretty much maximized as far as <br /> growth is concerned. <br /> Page 2 <br />
