CITY of ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO.3189 The storage shed is located on an outlot that wa.s created within the plat of Bayside Beach for the purposes of providing road access and a site for a graywater sewage treatment system to serve the residences at 3424« 3444 and 3464 Eastlake Street. c) Although the resolution approving the subdivison of Bayside Beach and the creation of Outlot B does not specifxcally prohibit structures within said outlot, the municipal code prohibits placement of accessory structures on a property without a principal structure. d) In this specific case, the use of the outlot is sufficiently controlled by the three immediately adjacent property owners who jointly share in ownership of the outlot, such that the concerns of property maintenance and security are sufficiently satisfied to justify granting of a variance to allow an accessory structure on the property. o) The 12‘xl6‘ storage shed as constructed is located 5.9' from the street lot line, but is suitably screened by existing vegetation and a nearby fence such that the shed is not out of character with the neighborhood nor does it constitute a visual encroachment. Further, moving the structure to meet the required 50' setback would place it in an area where sufficient screening does not exist and is not easily developed. Further, while the existing location of the shed is partially within the 10' drainage and utility easement along the street lot line, the temporary nature of the sned structure would allow it to be moved should it at some future date be in the way of any utility work. 4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by ‘he applicant and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety welfare of the community.
