To: Planning Commission Members From: Michael P. Gaffron, Assistant Zoning Administrator Date: October 15, 1985 Subject: #978 Michael McEnany, 2499 Kelly Avenue - Variance Zoning District - LR-IB - 1 Acre Application -Construct a detached garage on Outlot A of "Kelly Cove" which was a PRD subidvision. Outlot A is technically a lot without a principal structure. List of Exhibits Exhibit A - Exhibit B ~ Exhibit C - Exhibit D - Exhibit E - Exhibit F - Exhibit G - Application Plat Map Property Owners List Building Permit Application Survey/Site Plan Uphoff Letter Mabusth Letter 8/28/85 Although Mr. McEnany has signed as applicant and owner, the proposal is that the garage structure will be owned by the "Navarre Cove Homeowners Association" for lease to the members of the Association and for housing the Association's lawn maintenance eguip ment. Mr. Daryle Uphoff has given his consent to the application as representative of the homeowners association. The proposed garage technically requires a variance to Section 10.03, Subdivision 9 (A), because the Outlot has no principal structure, even though it is clear that the garage is intended to serve the 4 principal dwelling units of the Kelly Cove PRD. Orono s PRD code section does not make special provisions for accessory structures, other than subjecting them to Planning Commission and Council approval (Section 10.32, Subdivision 6). The proposed garage meets the standards for the LR“1B zoning district. It is to be located 51' from the street lot line, 26' from an existing drainage easement, and about 50' from the side lot line. The garage will make use of the existing driveway and parking lot. Existing 75-250' hardcover is about 21% with no changes proposed. Existing 250-500' hardcover is about 19%, proposed brings it up to 21%, where 30% is allowed. From a visual standpoint, there is quite a bit of screening from Kelly Avenue. Based on the garage meeting all the pertinent performance standards, the addition of the garage does not appear to create the need for any variances other than not having a principal structure on the same property. Jeanne Mabusth noted in her letter of response to McEnany's building permit request on August 28, 1985, that a clause in the resolution approving Kelly Cove stated
