MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, December 9, 2019 6:30 o'clock p.m. Curtis answered it was RS. Walsh noted the language could be very, very tight because there are very unique circumstances because the City has islands that have residents on them. Printup moved, Crosby seconded, to table LA19-000086 — J. Marie Fieger, 580 Big Island, Permit For Dock On Right -of -Way, with direction to Staff and Attorney Mattick as discussed. VOTE: Ayes 5, nays 0. 25. LA19-000096 — DENALI CUSTOM HOMES O/B/O DREW HUELER, 1398 REST POINT ROAD, VARIANCES Staff presented a summary of packet information. Walsh stated he agreed with Johnson when he wanted to put it on the Consent Agenda, but he was trying to get information as to what he was consenting to earlier. He is glad the applicant came down to 20%. He asked what the hardcover numbers were regarding other houses built on Rest Point Lane and Rest Point Road compared to the 25% that it is supposed to be. Curtis asked what property Walsh was referring to. Walsh stated the one across the street is pretty new. Johnson said that property has a bigger yard. The properties that flank this property are pretty small. Curtis agreed that they are narrow lots. She said she did not have the information as far as the other properties are concerned. She thought the applicant's plan in general from a rebuild standpoint is similar to what Staff has seen on that size of a lot. Walsh asked if Staff thought the hardcover generally fit the characteristics of the other lots in the area. Curtis said she wouldn't make a statement that it is because she does not have the information. Johnson said that he would say it is because he has been down there and to him it made sense. Walsh commented that it's a very small lot and it's nice to clean up what's going on there. He appreciates the applicant being willing to take that on. Johnson said the applicant added a lakeside patio with a two -foot wide deck across the back of the house and the patio comes out six feet. Johnson said the lakeside patio space made sense to him and the applicant kept it behind the 75 -foot line. Crosby asked what the total hardcover was. Curtis said it was 30.17%. The structure is 3,229 square feet; it went up 4 square feet. Johnson stated it went up 4 square feet, and that was making the deck. Page 24 of 34
