TO: <br />DATE: <br />Chair Smith and Orono Planning Commission Members <br />Ron Moorse, City Administrator <br />FROM: Liz Van Zomeren, City Planner/Zoning Administrator <br />August 10,1998 <br />SUBJECT: #2390 David Rahn <br />1385 Rest Point Road <br />Variance-Public Hearing <br />Zoning Dbtrict: LR-IB <br />Lot Area: <br />One Family Lakeshore Residential District (1 acre) <br />14,663 sq. ft. (.33 acres) <br />Application:The applicant appeared at the July Planning Commission meeting requesting <br />a hardcover variance to construct a 24' x 28' garage and sidewalk in the '75 - <br />'250 setback. The Planning Commission recommended denial of the requesi <br />on a 6-0 vote. The application was considered by the City Council on July <br />27 ih. The City Council instructed the applicant to redesign the garage and <br />have the revised plan reviewed by the Planning Commission. <br />The revised plan is for a 22' by 24' garage that has storage below the parking <br />level with a lakeside door for equipment. The revised hardcover request is <br />for 32.55% as calculated based on Council direction to limit total hardcover <br />to 25% of the setback in the 75'-250' setback. The original plan was for <br />39.67%. <br />The original plan was for a larger garage with a turnaround area and doors that <br />faced the side yard. The revised plan is to have the doors face the street with <br />the structure 17.1' from the property line. The revision requires a street <br />yard setback because the garage is less than 30' from the street. However, <br />if the garage were located to meet the street setback, it would encroach into <br />the floodplain area of the lot. <br />Pertinent Ordinances: <br />Section 10.24.5(B) LR-IB, One Family Ledceshore Residential District <br />#2390 David Rahn <br />1385 Rest Point Road <br />July 20.1998 <br />page-1
