MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,May 10,2021 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> 16. LA21-000026—JALIN DESIGN,LLC O/B/O TIM HOLLAND, 1395 ORONO LANE, <br /> VARIANCES—RESOLUTION—Continued <br /> Walsh can see some flexibility in saying the applicant can raise it up and they have to live with what is <br /> there,or saying they could cut off whatever is in the flood plain and add that on to the back side of the <br /> structure. <br /> Johnson agrees. <br /> Crosby said in adding things to the backside that is in essence what they are proposing to do in getting it <br /> out of the flood plain. <br /> Mr.Lindgren showed on screen the non-conforming portion and the proposal of setting that in another <br /> portion of the structure. <br /> Walsh does not remember the sauna project they talked about and asked if he was here for that. <br /> Curtis thinks Walsh expressed similar concerns and they talked through the flood plain compliance and <br /> the reduction of the peak height to the flat roof. She does not want to put words in his mouth but she <br /> thinks that is where he saw that there was a practical difficulty.This project is not identical,but is similar. <br /> Mr.Lindgren noted the City shared this information before they went down this venture. He remembers <br /> reading through those documents and it was more similar than not. <br /> Curtis noted the other project had two structures,there was one by the house that was rebuilt and another <br /> by the lake. <br /> Johnson noted Walsh is consistent, it was the same thing where they flattened out the roof and the <br /> Council said okay because the peak height is still lower, it was not a massing increase and it made sense <br /> to get it out of the flood zone. <br /> Walsh does not remember that,but he noted they are trying to tell him there is precedent for doing this. <br /> Curtis replied yes,they did not move the building but in this instance they are pulling it back from the <br /> lake in light of the neighbors. <br /> Walsh clarified they did not move the building? <br /> Johnson said no,the Council allowed them to increase their overall height to not move it out so the <br /> finished floor would be above the flood plain.He thinks Walsh said he would rather not have them move <br /> it and increase the height than have them move it a quarter of an inch. <br /> Mr.Lindgren asked if there are flood plain and flood zone differences? <br /> Page 29 of 34 <br />
