ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES FOR MARCH 18,1999 (#2487 Bohland Development, continued) within five feet of the property line to create a driveway for Lot 1. a variance to grade within 26 feet of the wetland, and a variance to the septic sites on Lot 5. Van Zomeren remarked that what the developer is now proposing will not require a variance to the wetland setback or to the septic sites for Lot 5. Lindquist inquired whether the Planning Commission needs to determine which is the front lot and which is the back lot for Lot 2. Gaffron remarked that the line that says Outlet B. that is the front yard setback, but Staff would rather have it designated it as a side yard. Van Zomeren inquired whether the outlet is acceptable off of the cul-de-sac to serve Lot 2. It was the consensus of the Planning Commission that the outlot would be acceptable. There were no public comments. Lindquist moved, McMillan seconded, to recommend approval of Application #2467,1028 Brown Road South, Class III Subdivision, to allow a conditional use permit for grading within five feet of the property line, to identify a front lot/back lot on Lot 2 as shown in the diagram, subject to the recommendations outlined in the Landscape Architect*s memorandum of March 14,1999, and further subject to the right-of-way being from Brown Road south to King Street, and access for Lots 8 and 6 be prior to the cul-de-sac. VOTE: Ayes 8, Nays 0. (#11) #2468 BRUCE AND BETSY NUSBAUM, 3480 NORTH SHORE DRIVE - VARIANCES, 11:03 p.m. -11:37 p.m. Bruce and Betsy Nusbaum. Applicants, were present. Weinberger stated the Applicants are proposing to remove the existing residence located on the lot and construct a two-story house. The existing residence is a non-conforming structure as H is located on an undersized lot and encroaches into the required side yard setback. The house is located on a lot line. The new proposed structure would be placed to meet all required setback. Wt '^berger commented this property is located In the LR-1C district. One Family Lakeshore Residential District, which has a minimum of half an acre. This lot is comprised of approximately .22 acres. Weinberger stated at the rear of the property line there is located a two-car garage with an attached lean-to structure. The Applicants are proposing to retain that existing structure. Typically the zoning code does not allow any accessory structures to remain on a lot without a principal building, and the Applicants are requesting a variance to allow this structure to remain on the property during construction. Weinberger remarked the proposed addition would raise the total structure above the allowed coverage for the lot for a total of 20.46 percent. 1 ne zoning code presently allows a maximum of 15 percent in structural coverage. Currently existing on the property is hardcover in the amount of 2.965 square feet, or 45 percent, and this proposal will reduce hardcover to 2,247 square feet, which is a significant reduction in hardcover but the structural coverage will increase on the property.
