MINUTES OF THE ORONO aTY COUNCIL MEET^G Monday, Jnne 13,2005 7:00 o’clock p.m. (005-3114 Sever and Sharon Peterson, Continncd) McMillan stated in her view some credit should be given to the applicants for a majority of the driveway being located on their property. Mnrpky moved. White seconded, to direct Staff to draft a resolution approving Application No. 05-3114, Sever and Sharon Peterson, 3145 North Shore Drive, granting of variances to lot width, average lakcshore setback and hardcover at 20 percent, with the understanding that credit is being given to the applicants for the shared driveway. Gaffitm stated in his opinion there is justification for allowing the additional hardcover given the shared driveway situation. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. 10. JACK AND KARI OLSON, 1966 SHADYWOOD ROAD - INQUIRY Jack Olson, 1966 Shadywood Road, was present. Curtis noted the Council in May 2005 approved a Resolution granting setback, hardcover, and lot coverage variances to allow the constructitm of a 441 square foot detached one>story garage. The property owners are now asking the council to examine the possibility of constructing an attached garage, with the same footprint that was approved in May. The applicants are proposing to attach a two-story 20’ by 22’ garage to the house and eliminate the five-foot separation between the buildings. Staff feels the new request will require a new application as the previous application has been closed with the resolution approval at the last Council meeting. If the Council determines that a two-story attached garage proposal may have some merit. Staff would direct the applicants to make a new application for review by the Planning Commission. Staff further feels that a minimal two-story attached garage that adds approximately 230 square feet to the existing house would make use of the space within the existing residence, would create additional living space, would allow for better on site puking and would limit the visual impact of the additional structure as viewed fiom the channel. Curtis noted a 230 square foot addition would be within the lot coverage limit for this property. White stated in his opinion the two-story attached garage makes more sense. Olson concurred, noting he has spoken with several contractors who have recommended the attached garage. Gaffron stated Staff in the past was attempting to limit this property to the IS percent structural coverage. Gaffron recommended the applicants consider reducing the size of the addition to stay within the 15 percent structural coverage and utilizing part of the existing house for garage. PAGE 11
