ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />MONDAY, JUNE 9,2003 <br />d U9S-29.9S Ctrda and Ed Toth, 1280/1290Spruce nace—Variauces—Resolution <br />No. 4991—Continued <br />enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant. The granting of the proposed <br />variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort, morals, or any other respect <br />contrary to the zoning code and will not serve merely as a convenience to the iq>plicant, <br />but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship or difficulty.” Gaffron stat^ that <br />there is no hardship unless Council determines that a 2,050 s.f. footprint is uiu’easonable. <br />Ed Toth stated that with a vote of 7-0, the Planning Commission had asked them to <br />redesign their house at 25-30% hardcover, and they did so in good faith. He was surprised <br />and disappointed that they went back on that. <br />Mayor Peterson stated that the Planning Commission is an advisory board, and that the <br />Council tries to be consistent with the 25% hardcover on new construction. <br />Mabusth stated that she knew they would deny the hardcover variance at the second <br />meeting because the Toth's hardcover was up to the Kmit, and new owners always come <br />bade osking for more. She stated that the Commission realized they had been inconsistent <br />in their first request. Since it was two combined lots and new construction, they <br />recommended ^e applicant reduce to 25%. <br />Toth stated that as a homeowner, he resented being told what kind and size home he could <br />put on his property. <br />White moved, and Murphy seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 4991 granting <br />variances to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.24, Subdivision 5(B); Section 10.22, <br />Subdivision 2; Section 10.56, Subdivision 16(L)(1); Section 10.56, Subdivision <br />16(JK2) to permit construction of a new residence on property with a lot area of <br />18,553 s.f.
