ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />MONDAY, FEBRUARY 9,2004 <br />hardcover. <br />Mr. Switz stated the lot is over 60% hardcover now, and they ’d make significant <br />improvements. <br />McMillan stated she was tom because the existing house covers the entire lot and is so far <br />out of conformity. <br />Moorse stated in the mid-90’s they were happy to grant applications that brought an <br />improvement. The current philosophy is to only give variances on valid hardships. Staff <br />couldn’t find a hard^p for coverage over 34% based on the irregular lot. Unless the <br />property is unique, they would set a precedent by allowing the 38.6% hardcover. <br />Gundlach stated that the difference between the 33.6% and 38.6% is 800 s.f. <br />Mr. Switz stated that if their sq;>plication is denied, they risk the lot staying exactly as it is <br />for any number of years. <br />White asked if they could install porous paving material in the driveway. Mr. Switz stated <br />he was willing. Sansevere stated the material is too new to be tested for longevity, and <br />allowing that as a hardcover reduction would set a precedent. <br />^ <br />rI
