MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON AUGUST 25,1997 (#6 - #2264 Janet Kieman - Continued) Kiernan ^owed pictures of the property. Christy said the resolution as proposed is acceptable to Kieman. He noted if the mumcipal sewer easement is included in the resolution, the easement should be restricted to a 20 ’ width. City Engineer, Tom Kellogg, said the sewer easement referred to is one bdng n^otiated for the extreme northeast comer of the property to allow a directionally bored 8" pipe to be installed to provide service to the property east of Kieman. A back hoe would be used for the sewer installation otherwise, resulting in a 20-25' deep hole with a steep bank. The easement would decrease that digging to 10 ’. Christy said he has not seen the legal description for the easement and would approve it in die extreme northeast comer but would like it clarified. Jabbour srud the sewer easement should be indq)endent firom the application. Barrett agreed with Jabbour. Kelley said he was concerned with the 80%/20%, new/old, stmcture percentage. Gaflfron clarified that the 40% of the current structure would remaiiL Kelley said he opines that the constmction would result in a new structure. He would support the firont and ride yard setback variances. He would not support encroachment of the 75’ setback. Goetten noted that the code does not ^lecify a policy regarding how much of an old structure is required to remain in order to be considered as a remodel instead of new construction. Peterson remarked, that without this policy, she supported the application. Jabbour acknowledged that the City should make a policy determination on this issue. Goetten indicated that if foundation was removed, the structure should be bdiind the 0- 75’ setback; but without a pdicy regarding the foundation in place, she would support the Planning Commission recommendation. Jabbour moved, Peterson seconded, to approve Resolution No. 3946 per the Planning Commission recommendation, but excluding the condition regarding a sewer easement. Gaflfron indicated that a 10' comer of the house would remain in the 0-75 ’ seti>ack. JaUmur verified that no additional structure would occur in the 0-75 ’ setback. Gaflfrmi said the construction v^’ould be remodeling only and no expanrion of the footprint in the 0-75 ’ zone and in the south side setback area. Most of the foundation is being used in that area.
