MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MONDAY, OCTOBER IS, 2001 (/rai-2728 WILLIAM AND LAURA STODDARD, CONTINUED) Hawn slated the City’s ordinance reads that an accessory building may have plumbing as long as it is conforming, which this structure is not. Hawn noted the plumbing is located on that side of the house, which makes it difficult to reduce the house in that area. Gaffron stated the house needs to meet a 30-foot street setback and a 10-foot side setback in order to make it conforming. Hawn noted the house is not conforming on cither side. Hawn stated the kitchen would need to be removed. Mabusth commented in her view this is a unique property. Hawn stated there are lots of properties in Orono w here the propert>’ owTicrs are tearing dow n the c.xisting residences and constructing new residences. Gaffron stated there arc two instances that he is aware of where the original house is still located on the properly following the construction of a new residence. Gaffron stated those property ow ners were required to remove the plumbing. Gaffron stated the one residence on Old Ciy stal Bay Road did not meet the setbacks, and he is unsure at this time whether the residence on County Road 6 met the required setbacks. Gaffron commented these situations do exist in Orono. Mabusth inquired whether the exterior on the existing residence would be the same as the new residence. Stoddard stated it would be. Stoddard stated his hardship is the fact that the house is existing in that location and that it would be a big hardship to relocate the house to conform to the setbacks. Lindquist commented he does not have a problem with the location of the existing residence but would still like to see the hardcover reduced slightly. Hawn moved, Mabusth seconded, to recommend ap(.eoval of Application #01>2728, William and Laura Stoddard, 4365 North Shore Drive, granting of a variance to permit the boathouse to remain in the 0-75' setback as an accessory structure without a principal structure during the time of construction of the new residence, subject to a review of the hardcover in the 0-75* setback. Lindquist stated Stoddard would still need a variance to hardcover in the 0-7S' setback. Hawn stated he would not need a hardcover variance unless the hardcover in the 0-75’ setback is added to the other hardcover in the 75-250* setback area. VOTE: Ayes 6, Nays 0.
