MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COM^^SSION MEETING <br />Monday, November 20, 2000 <br />1130 and 1140 Loma Linda Avenue, granting of a lot line rearrangement and vacation of <br />the platted undeveloped alley, "with the understanding there will be a 50 foot setback on <br />Parcel A for all structures. VOTE: Ayes 6, Nays 0. <br />Weinberger stated also as part of this application the Applicants arc proposing to construct a new <br />residence on proposed Parcel B. The plans would include a 1,237 square foot house to replace <br />the existing cabin and removal of the parking and drive area located within the vacated <br />right-of-way. The Applicants are requesting a hardco\er variance to allow 29.8 percent of <br />hardcover in the 75-250’ lakeshore setback where 25 percent is allowed. <br />Weinberger indicated the Applicants are not proposing a garage or; this property. In the past <br />the City has seen applications that do not propose garages at the time the house is constructed <br />and later an application is received for a garage. Weinberger stated a garage could not be located <br />where the parking area is proposed since it is restricted from development because of the sewer <br />line and eventual sewer easement located behind the house. The property' owners have indicated <br />they do not intend to build a garage on this lot. <br />Weinberger stated it would be impossible to locate a garage on this lot without the need for a <br />variance due to the small size of the lot and the utilitv easement that will exist on this lot. <br />Weinberger stated the Orono Zoning Ordinance requires two parking spaces per dwelling unit. <br />with the Applicants showing hardcover for one space. Staff is recommending an additional space <br />be added, which will increase hardcover. Staff does have some concerns regarding the amount of <br />• • * • <br />hardcover on this lot, but due to the small size of the lot. Staff would allow some overage in the <br />amount of hardcover on the lot to permit a reasonably sized house to be constructed on the <br />property and to provide sufficient parking space. Weinberger noted the size of the property is <br />being increased with the vacation of the alley and lot line rearrangement. <br />Hurr stated the driveway could perhaps be reduced slightly from the 10 feet. <br />Lindquist inquired what the amount of hardcover uill be on lot. <br />PAGE 20 <br />. ifei—..-
