ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MINUTES FOR APRIL 19,1999 <br />(#2475 Ronald Zelinsky, continued) <br />a 100* setback is required. This property is located within the RR-1A. One Family Rural Residential <br />District, which has a minimum of five acres. This property consists of 2.8 acres. <br />Weinberger stated the Applicant is proposing to install plumbing in the pool house, which would <br />require a plumbing in accessory building conditional use permit. However, to qualify for plumbing in <br />an accessory building, the stnicture must be conforming in location, size and height. In this case <br />the structure is encroaching approximately 66 feet into the front yard setback and the building <br />would be located closer to the front lot line than the principal structure. <br />City Staff is recommending denial of the pool house due to the fact that it would not be able to <br />meet all yard setbacks. The Applicant is been informed of that issue and would be agreeable to <br />working with City Staff on other options for the poo* house. <br />Weinberger stated the Appiicant is proposing to construct a berm approximately six feet high on <br />the property with landscaping in an effort to screen the pool and to minimize the noise level. Other <br />locations were explored for possible location of the pool, but after inspection of the property, this <br />area was deemed the most desirable due to the location of the sewer and septic tines, utilities, a <br />garage, and trees located on the other sections of the property. <br />City Staff is recommending approval of the portion of the application dealing with the pool subject <br />to review and approval of a land alteration permit by City Staff, not to include the moving of more <br />than 500 cubic yards of fill. Weinberger stated the proposed work does not appear to involve the <br />moving of more than 500 cubic yards of fill. The Applicant will alsu need to submit a survey <br />depicting the existing and proposed topography for this project. <br />Weinberger noted that the pool is located on an old septic site and the Appiicant should be <br />aware that the old septic items may need to be removed as part of this project. Weinberger stated <br />if the Applicant wishes to construct the pool house and include plumbing, he will need to submit a <br />new application requesting a plumbing in accessory building conditional use permit. <br />Zelinsky stated he has been attempting to comply with City regulations as much as possible <br />concerning this project, but was not made aware of the fact that a conditional use permit would be <br />required for the pool house to install plumbing until today. Zelinsky indicated that he would not be <br />pursuing the pool house at this time. <br />Lindquist inquired how far back the pool would be located from Chippewa Road. <br />Weinberger stated the setback from the edge of the pool to the street is 66 feet. <br />Lindquist noted if the Applicant complied with the setback requirement, the pool would be located <br />within the residence. <br />Hawn inquired whether there were any pubiic comments concerning this application. <br />Desyl Peterson, 4385 Chippewa Lane, stated she is the neighbor to the south, and is in favor of <br />this appiication with the understanding that a six foot berm with landscaping be constructed. <br />Peterson commented she could understand the rationale for placing the pool in this location. <br />Lindquist inquired whether the oniy variance for the pool is to the 100 foot setback and to the <br />side yard setback. <br />Page 15
