MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday, September 14,2020 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> Walsh said that's because the neighboring property is the main house. He noted the lakeshore setback is <br /> always to the neighbors' house. <br /> Barnhart asked to avoid some confusion and said the ASL of Tanager is based upon the existing Burwell <br /> house on the right and the vacant lot on the left. <br /> Walsh asked if the vacant lot is the 75 foot setback. <br /> Barnhart replied the vacant lot would be based on 1700 Shoreline and Tiffany's house. <br /> Walsh said that is a defined line,the Council isn't attempting to say it's a line that should be created <br /> because of any hardship. The line they are really talking about is Line A and Line C. He was trying to <br /> make the point that changing from Line A to Line C doesn't change a whole lot of regarding what is built <br /> next to Ms. Burwell. <br /> Ms. Burwell said she understands Line B and asked if it's just assumed that a variance will be granted to <br /> Lot 6. <br /> Barnhart responded the goal with Line B is to avoid the need for a variance by establishing the average <br /> lakeshore setback at the time of platting for the initial construction,therefore,no,Lot 6 would not need a <br /> variance unless they wanted to go in front or lake-ward of that line and which Staff would recommend no. <br /> Crosby asked Barnhart, compared to the caretaker's house, where would these three proposed homes line <br /> up visually. <br /> Barnhart replied above the caretaker home on the aerial map. <br /> Crosby asked if they'd lie to the North of the caretaker home. <br /> Barnhart answered the marsh is directly across from the caretaker home and the homes would need to be <br /> above the marsh. <br /> Ms. Burwell asked how they are defining the rule with the 75 foot setback that goes into the marsh. <br /> Walsh said there are setbacks for the marsh,noting the setback is 75 feet from the lake and since it's in <br /> the middle of the marsh they can't build there anyways. In that case,they follow the DNR guidelines in <br /> the setbacks from the marsh. <br /> Crosby asked if it's 20 or 30 feet from the marsh. <br /> Barnhart replied the minimum is 20 feet,but the Watershed District may require more. He said the <br /> homes couldn't be built that close,anyway. <br /> Crosby asked how far Line C is from the marsh. <br /> Barnhart said he didn't measure that. <br /> Page 14 of 26 <br />
