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 1/2 -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 OB/O David & Lynn <br />Gutermuth - 2665 Casco Point Road, After -the -Fact Variances. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br />Page 8 of 18 <br />
