e ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES FOR JULY 21,1997 (#22) #2273 MORGAN NELSON 3145 JAMESTOWN ROAD VARIANCE PUBLIC HEARING 11:23-11:30 P.M. The Affidavit of PublicaL-and Certificate of Mailing were noted. The Applicant was present. Gaffron reported that the application is for lakeshore setback for construction of a gazabo on the property. The proposal would not meet the 150 ’ setback from a Natural Environment Lake but meet the average lakeshore setback and is in line with adjacent homes. The side setback is met. The change in code from 75' to 150' setback occurred in 1992. The variance v uld be 19' at 131' from lakeshore. The gazebo would be located off of the driveway. Gaffron sa.^ the Commission could recommend the gazebo be placed on the other side of the property to meet the 150' setback. The applicant said it makes sense to place it where it is planned. Nelso*': 'dicated that he will be proposing an addition to the home for the south side in the future. Hawn asked if the applicant spoke with his neighbors and how the gazebo would affect their views. The applicant said he showed his plans to the neighbors, who signed the acknowledgment letter but did not specify whether they were for or against the plan. Gaffron indicated that since the neighbors were not present to voice an objection and did not send a letter of objection, he assumed they did not object. The applicant was questioned as to the ’ocation of the gazebo. Nelson said he wanted it near the driveway to preserve his views. Smith moved, Berg seconded, to approve Application #2273. McMillan asked if the DNR was notified. Gaffron said the DNR is notified of the agenda as a whole and would probably indicate a self-imposed hardship if they had responded. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 1, McMillan, for lack of a hardship. 5^. . -tn • 1V -V - . -t" •» -
