• ♦* • <br />TO:Chair Hawn and Orono Planning Commission Members <br />Ron Moorse, City Administrator <br />FROM: Paul Weinberger, Zoning Administrator/Planner <br />-DATE:September 9,1999 <br />SUBJECT:#2516 JeffMartineau <br />1420 Shoreline Drive <br />Variances-Public Hearing <br />Zoning District: LR-1A One Family Lakeshore Residential District (2 Acre) <br />Lot Area:approximately 2.0 acres <br />Last month the Planning Commission tabled Zoning Application #2416 for JeffMartineau without <br />discussion. Mr. Martineau arrived shortly after the meeting had adjourned. <br />Summary of Request: <br />In 1997 the residence was removed from the property. All that remains on the lot is a detached <br />garage and driveway. The applicant has applied to the City for variances to allow the lot to be <br />redeveloped as a residential site and to permit the detached garage on the property to remain. The <br />Code would not allow an accessory building to remain after the principal building has been removed <br />without the Council granting a variance. Applicant also requests variances from bluff setback to <br />permit a new residence to be constructed within the 30' bluff setback. <br />Lot History: <br />The lot was 2.9 acres in size prior to 1983 when .9 acres vna divided off and joined with an adjacent <br />property leaving the existing 2.0 acre parcel. Previous property owners have inquired about <br />extension of sewer to the property. This is one of the few lakeshore lots in the City that is not within <br />the MUSA area to allow for the provision of sanitary sewer. There is interest in cormecting this <br />property to sewer. Sewer connection would require the property demonstrate it is not suitable for <br />a primary and alternate septic site, or apply for a MUSA expansion which would require approval <br />of the City and Metropolitan Council. <br />^25! 6 JeffMartmeau <br />1420 Shoreline Drive <br />yariances <br />8^16^99 <br />Page I
