TO: FROM: DATE: RE: Chair Hawn and Orono Planning Commissioners Ron Moorse, City Administrator Kris Jenson, Assistant Zoning Administrator/Planner August 9,1999 #2515 Tom and Maureen Palm, 1685 Concordia Street Variances—Public Hearing Zoning: LR-1C, One Family Lakeshore Residential District 1/2 Acre Application: To construct a new garage in a new location, as the existing garage is partially located widiin a sewer easement. STAFF SUMMARY Tom and Maureen Palm have submitted an application to construct a lew 30' x 30' garage in a different location than the existing 24' x 26' garage, as it is partially located over a sewer easement. The existing garage is located 98' from the rear property line (street side). The proposed garage would be located 48 feet from the same property line. The proposed garage is 30' x 30', for a 900 sq. ft. structure. Because the structure is defined as oversized, due to the fact that it is larger than 750 sq. ft., the sideyard setbacks are required to be 15', rather than the district 1 O' standard. The applicant's could reduce the size of the garage to 750 sq. ft. by reducing the garage 5' in depth. This would allow the applicant's to maintain a 3 car garage, and still meet the 1 O' setback requirements. The proposed height of the garage is 23'. This lot is over on hardcover, although the proposal will reduce the hardcover, due to the garage being moved to the rear of the lot. The question is how much the Commission wants the hardcover reduced. The other issue is structural coverage. The lot currently sits at 14.9% structural coverage. Pertinent Ordinances ► Section 10.22, Subd. 2, Lakeshore Hardcover and Land Alteration Regulations. Within 75 to 250 feet of the shoreline there shall be no greater than 25% hardcover. Within 250 to 500 feet of the shoreline there shall be no more than 30% hardcover. »• Section 10.03, Subd. 9, Accessory Buildings, (E) Setbacks. Accessory structures in excess of 750 square feet footprint area but not exceeding 1,000 square feet footprint area shall be located at least 15' from any lot line. »• Section 10.03, Subd. 14, Yards and Open Spaces, (C) Lot Coverage. In all zoning districts, for all lots of 0-1.99 acre in total area, the total combined footprint areas of all principal and accessory structures shall not exceed 15% of the lot area. The following shall be included U25iy Tom A hiaumn Palm, 1685 Concordia Street Variances August 9, 1999 pagt-l
