MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, November 27, 2006 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />(5. #05-3135 ALLEN MUNSON, 3165 NORTH SHORE DRIVE, Continued) <br /> <br />results in a 29-foot defined height and meets the City’s code. Gaffron stated the applicant’s defined <br />height would become less as he goes further back into the hill. <br /> <br />White stated the Council would be directing Staff to draft a resolution either approving or denying the <br />application tonight. <br /> <br />Brokl stated action would need to be taken on both items tonight in order to meet the 60-day deadline. <br /> <br />Murphy asked if the City Council directs Staff to draft a denial resolution, whether the applicant would <br />need to redesign his plans and start over. <br /> <br />Munson stated he has been working with Staff for approximately two years on this project. <br /> <br />Murphy stated he is reluctant to approve the conditional use permit since the grading plan is based on the <br />house encroaching six feet into the average lakeshore setback and the grading may change if the location <br />of the house changes. <br /> <br />Gaffron stated there should be relative minor changes in the grading if the house is relocated out of the <br />average lakeshore setback. <br /> <br />Brokl stated the Council has the discretion of approving a conditional use permit up to a certain amount of <br />fill. Brokl stated if the applicant is able to meet the requirements of the City, he would not need to appear <br />before the Council again. <br /> <br />McMillan moved, Murphy seconded, to direct Staff to draft a resolution reflecting denial of the <br />average lakeshore setback variance and approval of the conditional use permit to allow fill not to <br />exceed 2400 cubic yards, subject to review and approval of the grading and drainage plan by Staff <br />and the City Engineer. <br /> <br />Murphy asked Mr. Wagener whether he would like to entertain a discussion with the applicant on that <br />corner of the house encroaching into the average lakeshore setback. <br /> <br />Sansevere stated the average lakeshore setback regulation should be respected. <br /> <br />Murphy stated he was suggesting the two parties attempt to negotiate the encroachment since they have to <br />reside next to one another but that he would withdraw the question. <br /> <br />McMillan stated the parties have had an opportunity to discuss this application in the past. <br /> <br />Munson inquired why he was considered for a variance when one of the Council members stated the line <br />is the line. <br /> <br />Murphy asked when this application first appeared before the City. <br /> <br />Gaffron stated in June of 2005 the application first appeared before the Planning Commission. <br /> <br /> <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />PAGE 7 of 10 <br />Item #04 - CC Agenda - 11/27/06 <br />Approval of Council Meeting Minutes 11/27/06 [Page 7 of 10]
