MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,March 9,2020 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> Mr.Haack said the homeowner hired people to put the dock together.The homeowner asked for <br /> consideration that the dock remain,that it is smaller and their view is that the dock is not a deck. <br /> Walsh said the homeowners can have what they had,but that it has to come off somewhere else and they <br /> have to make that decision. <br /> Curtis pointed out the areas of the expansions after Crosby asked to look at the original sketch. <br /> Johnson asked if that was an after-the-fact sketch and noted the City was never considered in any of the <br /> improvements. <br /> Crosby indicated that he is clarifying on the gable part that the City was not considered. <br /> Mr. Haack said he understood it was on the original submitted plans. <br /> Johnson asked if Staff recommendations included returning it to its original state. <br /> Curtis clarified that the recommendation was to not approve any hardcover variances. <br /> Mr.Haack stated if the dock sections are taken off,the homeowner would be under the variance approval <br /> for square feet of the property. <br /> Walsh clarified that the homeowner will receive no hardcover variances. He can decide what to do with <br /> the 74 square feet he has;he can do so within the footprint of what he had previously.The chimney and <br /> gable would need to be removed. If the boathouse remains the same but is re-sided with 2-inch stone <br /> rather than 'h-inch siding,he would be fine with that. <br /> Curtis asked how the Council felt about the gable bump-out. <br /> The Councilmembers indicated that anything which expanded the envelope and the volume needs to be <br /> brought back to the original structure.The core shell cannot be expanded.If the homeowner gets rid of all <br /> the deck,he will have 75 square feet to work with. <br /> Johnson asked whether any changes will still require a permit. <br /> Curtis indicated that was correct. <br /> Mr.Haack asked if the changes being discussed would need a permit. <br /> Johnson and Walsh said he was correct and that there would be additional permits needed and perhaps <br /> field inspections. <br /> Johnson moved, Seals seconded,to follow Staff recommendations and stay within the approved <br /> hardcover,get the appropriate permits and pay the appropriate fees for the permits,and get <br /> inspections regarding LA20-000005—Gordon James Construction O/B/O David& Lynn <br /> Gutermuth-2665 Casco Point Road,After-the-Fact Variances.VOTE: Ayes 4,Nays 0. <br /> Page 8 of 18 <br />
