#02-2778 Kevin Manley <br />1973 Fagemess Point Road <br />Page 2 of 2 ___________ <br />1. The deck would add additional hardcover and structure to the property. The deck <br />requires variances to permit the total hardcover to increase from 27.7% to 30.2% in the <br />7S-2S0 ’ setback where 2S% is allowed. A second variance is required to allow the total <br />lot coverage by structure to increase from the existing 1,901 s.f. (18.3%) to 2,013 s.f <br />(19.4%) where 1,SS3 s.f. (15%) is allowed. <br />2. Over the past several years the City of Orono has not approved variances that would <br />allow additional building mass on properties that are currently over 15% structural lot <br />coverage. <br />3. The property has lakeshore to the northwest side of the property and directly across <br />Fagemess Point Road. Additional hardcover on the property has the potential to <br />contribute to direct runoff of storm water to the lake. Approval of such a variance would <br />be inconsistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan’s Environmental Protection <br />Plan. <br />4. Such an approval would be inconsistent with other actions taken by the City for lots that <br />have lakeshore on more than one property dimension. <br />Stair Recommendatioa <br />Staff recommends approval of the variances to permit raising of the roof elevation to complete a <br />second story addition. <br />Staff recommends denial of the variances to permit an increase to structural lot coverage <br />increasing the total lot coverage from 18.3% to 19.4% where 15% is allowed. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />Staff has drafted a resolution that approves the variances to permit raising the roofline to create a <br />full second story, and to deny the variances to increase structural lot coverage for a deck addition. <br />. 1
