MINUTES OF THE BEGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br />- MEi/riNGHELD ON JUNE 23,1997 <br />(#11 - #2248 David end Jodi Rehn - Continued) <br />Rehn said the only other option is to place the structure in the middle of the flood plain <br />which would require mitigation. He reiterated that no mivigation would be required in <br />squaring off the structure. <br />Jabbour asked the Council for thw opinion. <br />Goetten said ^e would not approve additional hardcover in the 0-75* setback. <br />Jabbour noted the applicant had suggested efimination of the decks which would decrease <br />-the hardcover from 1320 s.f. to 1018 s.f. Rahn said he has sold his other home and his <br />family plans on living here year around. He also indicated that he will be planning on <br />adding a garage in the future. <br />• <br />Jabbour and Goetten both informed Rahn that structure in the flood plain is less of an <br />issue than structure in the 0-75* setback. Rahn said his dream is to restore the cabin and <br />suggested diroinating the deck and maintaining the screen porch as plarmed. Goetten <br />was informed (hat the 8*x 12' is to be located on the north side of the structure. Jabbour <br />said there is 60 s.f of existing deck and 252 s.f total of decking. Eliminatirtg this <br />decking and maintaming the screen porch would result in 1068 s.f of structure. The <br />structure woirid be increased from 540 s.f to 840 s.f with a 132 s.f perch. <br />Jabbour indicated that he is only considering this option because the structure is minimal <br />m size noting 1500 s.f is tK>rm^y allowed. The option would also maintain the structure <br />out of the flood plain and would be serviced with sewer. Jabbour said this situation <br />creates a true hardship. <br />Jabbour moved to approve Application #2248 based on the hardships and reasoning as <br />stated with the remo^ of decks as proposed by the applicant in order to facilitate the <br />applicatioa <br />The motion failed due to lack of a second. <br />Goetten said she could not vote in favor of the motion and noted that the application <br />.could be heard in front of a full Council. <br />Rahn indicated that the guidelines have not changed since 1983 when the adjacent <br />property was pemutted 29% hardcover. Jabbour said he recognized the City made a <br />mista!<e at that time. Rahn indicated that time is of the essence in providing a home for <br />his family. <br />Gtjetten said she would be willing to table the appheation to the meeting of July 14: <br />Goetten moved, Flint seconded, to table Application #2248. Vote: Ayes 3, Nays 0.
