2. <br />TO; <br />FROM: <br />DATE; <br />RE: <br />Chair Hawn and Orono Planning Commissioners <br />Ron Moorse, City Administrator <br />Paul Weinberger, Zoning Administrator/Planner <br />April 14, 2000 <br />#2513 Connie Piepho <br />540 North Arm Drive <br />Variance <br />Zoning: LR-1 A, One Family Lakeshore Residential, 2 Acres <br />Application: To permit construction of an inground swimming pool within the average lakeshore <br />setback. <br />Application Update: The Planning Commission had discussed the issue of granting a variance to <br />the average lakeshore setback to permit construction of an inground swimming pool on the property. <br />The primary issue was the pool could not be placed on the property without relocating a future septic <br />drainfield site. The septic site would be required to be shifted 30' to the north. This results in the <br />site being located within 75’ of the water supply well on an adjacent property. To satisfy the <br />requirements of the septic code one of two options existed to allow the secondary septic site to be <br />shifted the necessary 30'. You may recall no hardcover or grading is permitted within 20' of a septic <br />site and no septic site (primary or future) can be located within 75' of a well. <br />Option #1 <br />To have an agreement in place with the adjacent property owners that would require the owner of <br />the subject lot to pay to relocate the neighbor’s well should it be necessary to replace the septic to <br />the alternate site. This would be completed by a private agreement between the property owners <br />with money being placed in escrow to relocate the well. Both parties agree this is a viable option. <br />Option #2 <br />1 he On-Site Systems Manager for the City of Orono grant a variance to the septic code and permit <br />a drainfield site to be located less than 75' feet from the neighbor's well, but not less than the State <br />requirement of 50'. Before Mr. Pence could agree to granting of the variance the owner of the well <br />should be consulted. This appears to be the best of the two options. <br />The pool has been relocated to the other side of the property to have the least impact on adjacent <br />residences. Please read the attached Staff Reports that were reviewed by the Planning Commission <br />in August, 1999 and February, 2000. <br /><^2513 Connie Piepho, 540 North Arm Drive <br />Variances <br />April 17. 20QQ <br />pag*~l
