TO:Chair Smith and Orono Planning Commission Members <br />Ron Moorse, City Administrator <br />FROM: <br />DATE: <br />Paul Weinberger, Assistant Zoning Administrator <br />March 10,1999 <br />SUBJECT:#2451 Lyle and Gretchen Shaw <br />1750 Sh^ywood Road <br />Variances-Public Hearing <br />Zoning District: LR-1C One Family Lakeshore Residential District (1/2 Acre) <br />Lot Area:10,430 square feet (.30 acre) <br />Application: Lyle and Gretchen Shaw appeared before the Planning Coimnission on <br />January 19,1999 for variances to permit the addition of a garage and living space to the existing <br />residence. The iq)plicants requested 1,649.7 s.f. of structure where 1,564.5 s.f. is allowed on the lot. <br />The addition would also require a variance from the allowed hardcover in the 75>250' lakeshore <br />setback. The Planning Commission reconunended approval on a vote of 5 to 0 of the variance to <br />permit additional hardcover based on the following conditions: <br />1. The applicants reduce structural coverage on the lot to 15% (1,564.5 s.f.). <br />2.Prior to issuing a building permit, the applicants must provide a drainage plan that is <br />acceptable to City Staff to show the proposed development will not pose a risk to the <br />property owners or adjacent property owners. <br />The applicants have revised the plan to conform to allowed structural coverage, however the new <br />plan would require an additional variance to raise the roof of the house within the 0-75' lakeshore <br />setback, and within the Average Lakeshore Setback. The original plan reviewed by the Planning <br />Commission did not propose any changes to the building envelope within the 75' lakeshore setback. <br />The existing structure is a 1 1/2 story house with living space in the upper 1/2 story. By reducing <br />the building size to accoirunodate the 15% structural coverage requirement the Shaw's have <br />requested the 1/2 story be increased to a full story. The roof would be raised 6' above the existing <br />roof line. This alteration would allow the e* .tire space to be used, thus increasing the livable space <br />of the home. <br />§2^5!
