jr TO:Chair Smith and Orono Planning Commission Members Ron Moorse, City Administrator FROM: Paul Weinberger, Assistant Zoning Administrator DATE:August 13,1998 SUBJECT: #2391 Evan Anderson 1260 Spruce Place Conditional Use Permit~Variances—Public Hearing Zoning District: LR-1B Lot Area: Application: Lot History: 11,736 One Family Lakcshore Residential District (1 Acre) square feet (.27 acres)______________________ This applicants are applying for an after-the-fact variance for hardcover to allow a patio remain in the 0-75' distance from the lake. The patio is replacing a deck that was removed in the same location. Also variances are necessary for hardcover in the 75-250' lakeshore setback to allow for the patio and the reconstruction of an old garage. The garage would also require a variance from the side yard adjacent to the street setback. This application will also require a Conditional Use Permit for retaining walls that have already been replaced on the property. Section 10.03, Subd. 19 of the Zoning Code prohibits any repair or replacement of retaining walls on lakeshore property without a Conditional Use Permit. The applicant has stated old wooden retaining walls that were in disrepair were replaced with concrete walls. It should be noted that the applicant did not do any grading or filling on the property. Comparing a survey from 1996 to the new survey it spears that several retaining walls have been added, to include the area within 75' of the lake. A condition of approval must include a variance to allow retaining walls within the shore setback zone. On its May 27, 1997 meeting the City Council granted a variance from hardcover in the 75-250’ setback to allow a roof to be built over the entrance of the residence.
