MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON OCTOBER 13,1997 I i (#9 - #2295 Conley Brooks Jr. - Continued) Goetten said she would like to see an improved situation and the fence should be located outside of the right-of-way. Peterson agreed. Kelley said he supported the fence behind the vegetation and in the right-of-way. He noted the height arborvitae could extend beyond the proposed fence height. Flint said he would support the fence in the right-of-way at a 3-1/2’ height. Kelley moved to approve a fence within the right-of-way at a height not to exceed 3-1/2' at a minimum distance of 12' from the traveled roadway. Motion failed for lack of second. Flint moved, Kelley seconded, to approve a 3-1/2’ high fence located in the right-of-way but not closer than 15' from the traveled roadway. Vote: Ayes 3, Nays 2, Peterson, Goetten. (A short recess was held.) Jabbour noted that the Staff and Planning Commission recommendations differed regarding the garage. Peterson asked Gaffron is there was any practical way the garage could be moved farther than r from the right-of-way. Gaffron said it would depend on the wetland separation variance or moving the garage elsewhere; changing the angle would not make any difference. Jabbour asked Brooks if he could accept a 18'x24' garage. Brooks said it would be acceptable. Jabbour said he shared the concern with the location being so near the right-of-way. Kelley said he would support the garage 1* from right-of-way and 26' wetland separation. Goetten noted the current garage needs to be eliminated and does not want to see another garage at that location. She said the applicant does not have sufficient acreage for another accessory structure. If the applicant desired to have lakeshore storage, Goetten suggested he consider a lock box that is allowed in the 0-75' setback. Goetten does not want a garage to infringe on the wetland and her main concern is with the lack of adequate space.
