MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING HELD ON DECEMBER 11,1995 <br />(#7 - #1958 Louis Oberhauser - Continued) <br />Mabusth reported on other issues for discusion. Both the County and City Engineer have <br />advised that there be no access from Dunwoody but recommend a shared driveway. A <br />new curb cut for the shared driveway is to meet the safety requirements and access from <br />Shoreline Drive. There is also a municipal sewer line encroachment. The applicant is <br />asked for an easement for this line along Shoreline Drive and the west lot line of lot 1 . <br />Hurr asked and received Mabusth's confirmation that it was Staffs preference that the <br />preliminary plat and conditions of the plat be done now. <br />Goetten said her concern was with the immediate removal of the structure on the <br />property. She said she 'vould look at the different options but would not allow any <br />approval without the structure removal as it is a nuisance and a hazard, especially now <br />with the recent snow fall. Goetten noted that 30 neighborhood people have petitioned <br />for the removal of the structure, the structures have been an issue for years, and the <br />neighbors deserve that this removal occur. <br />Callahan commented to the applicant that the neighbors have been trying for quite some <br />time to have this structure removed. He asked the applicant if the structure would be <br />removed if the proposal was approved. <br />Oberhauser said he was before the Council 4 years ago and received a denial to his <br />proposal. Oberhauser said if the Council would approve the plat and variances for <br />reasonable structures on the small nonconforming lots, he would take the staicture down <br />immediately. <br />Hurt asked if the applicant was referring to the variances recommended by the Planning <br />Commission <br />Oberhauser said he was not. He said he would need the encroachment into the 0-75 <br />zone. Oberhauser said he would take out the e.xisting hardcover in the 0-75 ’ zone and <br />would show no net increase The applicant also said that in realigning the lots, he would <br />need to keep the same amount of lakeshore in each lot. Oberhauser said he would also <br />need to bring the lot line over to accomodate the shared access, which would have an <br />adverse affect on the hardcover and structure for Lot 1 Oberhauser said he would need <br />to place the access as far as he could from the Dunwoody/CoRd 15 access. Oberhauser <br />also noted that he paid for 4 sewer/water assessments for 3 lots. He originally thought he <br />would construct townhouses but found there was not enough land. The applicant said he <br />would need the variances to gain the house people want. <br />Callahan responded that the size of the land is as it is and can't be changed. Callahan <br />noted the numerous times the application has been before the Council, and the Council's <br />desire that the houses be taken do'.vn.
