TO: FROM: DATE: Chair Smith and Orono Planning Commission Members Ron Moorsc, City Administrator Liz Van Zomeren, City Planner/Zoning Administrator August 12,1998 SUBJECT: #2395 Brent and Kathym Bentrott Variance(s)-Public Hearing Zoning District:LR’IB One Family Lakeshore Residential District (1 Acre) Lot Area: 14,768 square feet (.339 acres)_______________ Application:The applicants appeared at the July 20th Planning Commission meeting and requested hardcover variances, a 10' vacation of Bluff Street, and side yard adjacent to street setback variances. The Planning Commission recommended that the proposed three season porch be located at least 3' from the side property line and that Bluff Street not be diminished by a 10' vacation. The applicant was also directed to redesign the location of the garage to include meeting the side yard setback from the east property line. The applicant has submitted a newr plan that shows access from the street and locates the garage closer to tlie house, approximately 130' from the street. The applicant has also submitted building elevations for the proposed 22' by 25' garage. The garage would be two stories with the doors facing the street and a door on the lakeside for access to the storage area. The street elevation is approximately 964'. The elevation for the proposed garage is approximately 943'. This is an elevation change of 21' in 130 feet, a grade change of 16%. The recommended maximum slope for a driveway is 8%. The grade needs to be significantly changed for the driveway to the proposed garage to be 8%. Staff has estimated that approximately 400 cubic yards of fill would be needed to construct a driveway and a garage. This is about 40 truckloads of fill. This much fill may change drainage on the site and may impact the adjacent residential property. Staff has asked the City's consultanting engineer to review this situation. pagf-t
