4. 5. 6. 7. F. CITYof ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 'ft Q 4 6 The proposed garage addition should be offset to meet the required 15 street setback and the footprint kept at no more than 1,000 s.f. to keep it from becoming an oversize accessory structure subject to much stricter setback standards. Applicant revised the initial proposal to eliminate the need for a street setback variance and proposes to construct one additional garage stall which yields a footprint of the garage being less than 1,000 s.f. and meeting the required 15' street setback. The City Engineer has reviewed the proposed driveway relocation and finds the driveway configuration feasible and appropriate. The applicant submitted a new site plan and revised proposal after the initial Planning Commission review and recommendation which took place in July 1997. The new site plan and construction plans indicate that 40% of the existing house will be incorporated into the proposed additions, resulting in 20% of the final product being the pre-existing house. The Planning Comimssion reviewed this revised proposal on August 18, 1997 and concluded that this level of preservation will not trigger the need for lot area and width variances nor 4e need to relocate the residence to meet setbacks. The City Council concurs with the Planning Commission's finding. The revised plans indicate an additional bulk of structure encroaching the average lakeshore setback as compared to the plans approved in 1996. Planning Commission reviewed these plans on August 18, 1997 and concluded that this change in the nature of the average lakeshore setback encroachment has no impact on views enjoyed by neighboring property owners. The City Council concurs with this conclusion. 8. All other aspects of the request including continuation of the existing structwe setback encroachments of the 0-75' lakeshore setback zone and the 30' side . setback, as well as the originally proposed hardcover reductions and revisions are identical in scope and magnitude with the 1996 approval.
