and wife, <br />d within the <br />6. <br />7. <br />During an inspection of the area, Staff had observed the entire residence had been <br />removed, except the foundation had remained. As a result, the City of Orono had <br />placed a hold on the Building Permit to review the variances. <br />The foundation remains and is located over 150' from the lakeshore across County <br />Road 15. The building being located into the average lakeshore setback may not be <br />an issue as most houses in the locality are located across County Road 15 and on i <br />hill. <br />inty <br />dance with <br />lo Planning <br />siring to be <br />8. <br />variances to <br />of Orono, <br />r 87,120 s.f. <br />es or 42,784 <br />the existing <br />construction <br />H,' <br />S'. <br />9. <br />10. <br />11. <br />12. <br />After beginning the project, the contractor, Michael Hayes Homes, determined a <br />small portion of the foundation on the back of the house would need to be replaced <br />because it was cracked. Also, some of the joists were rotten requiring the entire <br />house to be removed, except the foundation. The contractor had also noted it was not <br />possible to identify rotted joists or structural problems prior to the removal of some <br />of the house. Those areas were not visible to an inspector hired by the property <br />owners. <br />The house is located outside of the 75' lakeshore setback and across a County road. <br />The City has reviewed the impact of the house on the shoreland area and has <br />determined there would not be a greater impact to the shoreland area than the <br />preexisting house. The house would be built entirely within the foundation. <br />The contractor would use the foundation and will not increase the building beyond <br />the footprint previously approved. Only a portion of the foundation that was located <br />under the east side of the house would be fully replaced, this being done to comply <br />with the State Building Code requirements. Mr. Hayes has stated he guarantees the <br />construction and to guarantee the building he must meet the requirements of the State <br />Building Code. <br />The house would be constructed to the specifications reviewed on January 19,2000 <br />at the Public Hearing with the Planning Commission, and at the time of variance <br />approval. No changes to the exterior of the structure are proposed. <br />The Council finds the contractor should be permitted to continue as the proposed <br />construction is in keeping with the intent of the variance approvals granted per <br />Resolution No. 4166. The construction of the house is located beyond the 75' <br />lakeshore setback, and would not further impact the lake. <br />d remain on <br />Page 2 of 3
