MINUTES OF TBDE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON JULY 14,1997 (#5 - #2248 David and Jodi Rahn - Continued) Kelley asked for clarification on the hardcover calculations of an increase fi’oni 9% to 19% in the 0-75' setback. He was informed that the calculations do not include a driveway or potential garage. There is currently no hardcover in the 75-250' setback and the hardcover noted is the house footprint only. Kelley sud a driveway and garage are incvhable and would need to know the calculations for them and what amount would be added in the 0-75' where it leads to the home. Jabbour noted that the application is entitled to 25% in the 75-250' setback. Kell^ questioned what percentage would be in the flood plain. Rahn said <he garage would not be below the 931.5' elevation and no variance would be required icr a garage. Van Zomeren agreed that no variance would be required. Kdley said he has never turned down an application for a two-car garage noting the necessity for garages in this area but feh the calculations should be included. He questioned a sidewalk leading to the residence. Peterson questioned the need for the calculation since it is not included in the proposal. Rahn indicated that he is allowed 1500 s.f of structure outride the 0-75' and as much as 2200 s.f with the size of the lot. Jabbour asked the applicant how he plans on walking to the house. The iqiplicant questioned whether a walkway is required. Rahn said he has no intention of putting in a ridewalk. Jabbour indicated that one would eventually be meded. Rahn srid he uses the grass area now and the decking and entry arc included in the calculations. He currently parks on the clearing on top of the hillside and there is no established driveway. Goetten questioned why the residence cannot be pulled back. Rahn said the residence would then be located in the flood plain. He said he has space for 1900 s.f. in the 75-250^ setback. Kelley asked Staft if 25% hardcover allowed for the 75-250' setback includes land in the flood plrin. He was informed by Gafiron and Van Zomeren that it did. Jabbour noted the structure could be a slab on grade mthout a foundation. Jabbour said he would make his approval contingent on no additional variances allowed in the future and any further improvements adhering to standards in the zoning code. Gaf&on questioned with hardcover shown in the 0-75', whether this amount should be subtracted from that allowed elsewhere. He felt it should be. Jabbour cited an example where tins has been done in the past. Gaflfron indicated that with 2000 s.f. total allowed, it would leave 1000 s.f for any future improvements. Jabbour said that was a good idea. Rahn agreed to comply with this request.
