MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, July 27, 2015 7:00 o’clock p.m. __________________________________________________________________________________ Page 13 of 29 6. #15-3744 JOHN BRUNELLO, 190 ORONO ORCHARD ROAD SOUTH, VARIANCES – RESOLUTION NO. 6527 (continued) Walsh moved, Printup seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 6527 , a Resolution Granting Setback Variances from Orono Municipal Code Sections 78-420, for the property located at 190 Orono Orchard Road South. Curtis stated the legal buildable area is within the 30-foot setback from the property to the north, the 50-foot setback from Orono Orchard Road, the 35-foot setback from the wetland, and the 50-foot setback from Woodhill. Curtis stated if the applicants were to change the footprint slightly to extend up to the wetland area or in a conforming way in the legal building envelope, they can, and that the granting of the variance will solidify the portion within the 30-foot area. Curtis stated she does not expect the applicants to change anything between the two setbacks as it relates to the footprint of the house. McMillan stated they could move the footprint slightly. Curtis indicated that is correct. Jagwell stated the only thing that might change on the footprint is that it might actually get smaller. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. 7. #15-3749 HOMESTEAD PARTNERS, 185 AND 225 OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD NORTH – PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL – RESOLUTION NO. 6528 Gaffron noted the City Council reviewed this application at their last meeting and directed Staff to prepare an approval resolution. That resolution has been prepared and Staff is recommending approval. Levang asked if there is going to be a monument proposed. Gaffron stated to his understanding the applicants are planning on doing something on either side but that no formal plans have been prepared yet depicting that. Gaffron indicated the Council would certainly see that at final plat approval. McMillan noted there is no requirement for one. Matt Hanish, Homestead partners, stated their intent is to put a monument in and that it most likely will be in the northwest corner since there is a power pole on the southern corner. Mayor McMillan asked if anyone from the public would like to comment on this application.
