MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, June 8, 2020 <br />6:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br /> <br />Johnson noted that by the other house moving back, it put the existing house in nonconformance. He said <br />the Council thinks about that all the time in other areas, but a house going backwards is not as common. <br />He noted people do not come to the Council for permission to move their house farther back; that is not <br />seen at their level. He indicated that was his only hesitation when he first reviewed the information, but he <br />agrees it has created a hardship that the Applicant did not create. Somebody would not know to go to their <br />neighbor and say, “Hey, don’t put your house back there because I want to put a screen porch up.” He <br />also noted the Applicant is way beyond the 75-foot mark. He is in support of the variance. <br /> <br />Seals said usually they get called out when there is a narrow lot. She was surprised when she went out <br />there that there was the issue because it does not feel like they were encroaching upon the lake, and she is <br />also in support of the variance. <br /> <br />Printup moved, Crosby seconded, to direct Staff to draft a resolution reflecting approval of LA20- <br />000028 – Baycliff Homes o/b/o David and Wendy Jacobsen-Gretsch, 2440 Old Beach Road – <br />Variance. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />
