MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING HELD ON SEPTEMBER 8. 1997 <br />(#5) «270 MARCIA AND KENNETH HICKEY, 4640 TONKA VIEW LANE <br />VARUNCES/CONDmONAL USE PERMIT - RESOLUTION NO. 3954 <br />Kenneth Hickey was present. <br />Van Zomeren reported that the application is for variances and conditional use permit to <br />construct a detached garage on a through lot. A large amount of discussion has ensued <br />due to the difficult topography of the lot. The only area where topography is not a <br />problem is where the garage is proposed. Photos were passed around to the Council for <br />their viewing. <br />The proposed garage is to be located in front of the principal structure requiring a <br />variance. The plan was revised to meet the side yard setbacks. A height variance is <br />required to exceed the principal structure height of 13' with a height of 22.5* at the peak. <br />The conditional use permit is required due to the property being a through lot. <br />Van Zomeren reported that Staff had recommended the existing shed be removed prior to <br />construction of the garage. The applicant had requested the shed remain until the <br />construction is complete in order to utilize the space inside. Final inspection would be <br />withheld until the shed is removed. <br />Hickey said he would like to keep the shed if at all possible as he needs the storage space. <br />Otherwise, he will work out the details for removal after the garage is complete. <br />Kelley asked Hick^r what his hardship is for the variances requested. Hickey did not <br />understand what a hardship is and asked it be explained. Kelley and Moorse assisted in <br />the explanation. <br />Hickey indicated his lot is a through lot and hilly. The slope would make it impossible to <br />build the garage on the east side. He would like the garage to be located on the front <br />side as the lake is on the other side and view would be obstructed. <br />Kelley noted the drop to the Wildhurst side. Van Zomeren explained why a garage could <br />not be built off of Wildhurst. Hickey noted it would be a long walk to the residence, and <br />there is already an established driveway where the garage would be located and would be <br />the most convenient location. <br />Kelley asked if Staff has spoken with the neighbors to the north. Van Zomeren said the <br />neighbors were notified but no acknowledgment letter or phone call was received. <br />Hickey did indicate that he showed his plans to the neighbors, who did not object to the <br />garage. <br />Peterson said she had no questions of the applicant.
