ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />MINUTES FOR JULY 27,1998 <br />% • <br />^ I « : F <br />(#7) #2370 GARY O’KEEFE, 1392 BALDUR PARK ROAD- VARIANCES- <br />RESOLUTION NO. 4128 <br />Mrs. O’Keefe was present. <br />Gaffron reported that the applicants were requesting a hardcover variance and conditional use <br />permit and variance for grading within 5' of a lot line and within the 0-75' lakeshore setback to <br />construct a new residence. The revised site plans meet the Planning Commission <br />recommendation to maintain 25% hardcover, which is a decrease from 7,258 s.f. to 5,725 s.f. <br />The applicants also* proposed a pond but the Plaiming Commission did not want to tie variance <br />approvals to stormwater management <br />Gaf&on noted that no decks were proposed for this lakeshore property. The applicants have <br />indicated they are willing to give up decks for living space, although a future owner may seek <br />variance for a deck. Both Planning Commission and staff recommended approval of the <br />proposed plans. <br />Jabbour commented that Council had given Plaiming Commission direction to limit the number <br />of variances. <br />Goetten indicated that she had been at rivo Planning Commission meetings, and the current plan <br />was a good compromise for the property. <br />Kelley expressed concern about the mass of buildings on lakeshore properties. He questioned if <br />Council would want to add a condition limiting additional mass, such as a second story, for this <br />residence. Jabbour agreed with Kelley that massing is an issue and Council should continue to <br />monitor lakeshore structures for excessive mass in future applications. <br />Goetten requested stronger wording in the resolution on Page 5, Condition 2. The word "likely" <br />is to be removed indicating that no future increase in hardcover will be approved. <br />Goetten moved, Jabbour seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 4128 granting hardcover <br />variances in the 75-250' zone to permit construction of a new residence, and to permit <br />grading and land alterations within the 0-75' lakeshore protected area. Vote: 5 Ayes, 0 <br />Nays. <br />!
