r <br />Tot Mayor Grabek ft Orono Council Members <br />City Administrator Bemhardson <br />Proms Michael P. Gaffron, Asst Planning ft Zoning <br />Dates July 21» 1989 <br />Subjects Ordinance Amendment* Oversized Accessory Structures <br />List of Exhibits • <br />Exhibit A - Proposed Ordinance with Minor Revisions Since <br />Last Meeting <br />Exhibit B - Memo ft Exhibits of 7/7/89 <br />Discussion - <br />This item was tabled at your July 10th meeting for further <br />review. As of this writing* I have received no further comments <br />from Council members. <br />A few minor changes have been proposed since your last <br />meeting* as follows: <br />1. The language that defines pools as non-oversized <br />accessory structures makes it more clear that grade-level* <br />non-encroaching patios will not be considered as part of the <br />structure. <br />2. For the 15% lot coverage requirements for small lots* <br />structures to be included have been defined as follows: <br />a) Any roofed or covered structure exceeding 6* in <br />height above grade level. <br />b) Any non-roofed structure (tennis courts* pools* <br />decks* etc.) of which any part including fences or <br />walls extends more than 6' above grade level. <br />Since the intent of the lot coverage ordinance is to limit <br />visual density on a property* it would seem appropriate <br />that any improvement that exceeds 6' in height would <br />reasonably be considered a visual impact and should be <br />included in lot coverage. Since the maximum allowed fence <br />is 6'* yards that are fenced in with a 6' fence would not be <br />counted as lot coverage* but a tennis court with 10'-12^ <br />fences would be included* as would a gazebo or <br />accessory building. Pools might or might not bo included <br />depending their height above grade and the type of fencing <br />or walls existing.
