Application Date: 4/17/02 Deadline: 6/16/02 TO:Chair Hawn and Orono Planning Commission Members Ron Moorse, City Administrator FROM:Paul Weinberger, Zoning Administrator DATE:May 13,2002 SUBJECT:i/02-2790 GretchenShaw 1750 Shadywood Road After the Fact Variance Renewal List of Exhibits: A B C D E F Application Resolution No. 4264 Approved Site Plan Building Plan Set (1999) Site Photos Plat Map Application The applicant has requested an after the fact renewal of variances previously approved on April 12, 1999. The variances approved in 1999 allowed tlie prop>erty owners to add a second stoiy addition to the house located within 75 ’ of the lakeshore and permitted the addition of an attached garage. The property currently does not contain a garage. The applicant has stated in her letter of application that the project was not completed within one year of the approval due to a family illness. The after the fact portion of this application is for the approval of the second story addition. The property owner had hired a contractor to repair the e.xisting leaking dormers and window s. It was determined the dormers required replacement, and were replaced larger than what had previously existed thus resulting in an expansion of the building envelope within 75 ’ of the lakeshore. The dormer expansion, rather than a complete 2*^ story addition as approved in 1999, will have a reduced visual impact from the lake and adjacent properties. Normally the City will issue a permit when a building addition is within the envelope approved per a variance if it is determined the building addition has less impact and is in character with the approved plan. In this case a permit would likely have been issued without Planning Commission or Council review if i* had been applied for within one year of the variance approval. 3
