r* TO:Chair Lindquist and Orono Planning Commission Members Ron Moorse, City Administrator FROM:Liz Van Zomeren, City Planner/Zoning Administrator DATE:May 12,1997 SUBJECT: #2233, Walter Holzer, 1130 North Shore Drive West Variance —Public Hearing Zoning District: LR-IB, One-Family Lakeshore Residential District, (1 Acre) Lot Size: 39,700 sq. ft. (.91 acres) Application:Applicant is seeking a height variance to allow for construction of an accessory structure that would provide storage for his business and an office. The applicant has also applied for a home occupation license. Background: The applicant operates Walter Holzer Plumbing and Heating. He resides at the subject property. His residence was constructed in the early 1900's. It was probably a utility building. The total height of the principal structure is less than the proposed accessory structure (22 feet). Accessory structures that are greater in height than principal structures require variances. Additionally, the current Zoning ordinance does not allow accessory structures to be used for home occupations. Also, it is questionable whether a bathroom is allowed in an accessory structure. This application should be reviewed and considered after the home occupation amendments are considered. Pertinent Ordinances Section 10.02,13, "Building Height" The vertical distance behveen the highest adjoining ground level at the building or ten feet above the lowest grade level, whichever is lower and the top of the cornice of flat roof or the deck line of a mansard roof, or the uppermost point on a round or other arch type roof or the average height of the highest gable of a pitched or hipped roof Section 10.24, Subd. 5,B., LR-IB, One Family Rural Residential District, »2233 Waller Holzer 1 130 NorthShore Drive West 5/19/97 page-1 /) O' I 1 i 1
