Request for Council Action continued page 4 August 30, 1996 Zoning File #2151 John and Janice Hurd, 2795 Casco Point Road At the July meeting the neighbors were asked to meet with the applicant to discuss their concerns and define an acceptable setback line from the lakeshore, although certain members cautioned that there was no guarantee that a setback variance would be granted to the average lakeshore setback line. Planning Commission members also noted concern with the 20' x 20’ boathouse located within lakeshore protected area. Staff has consistently raised the issue of the removal of boathouse structures where applicants propose additional hardcover improvements in the 0-75' setback areas. Members may recall the recent Woodhouse application that would have resulted in increases in hardcover in the 0- 75' setback area if the boathouse and attached deck w^ere not removed. The Woodhouse boathouse was also in disrepair and needed major structural improvements. Staff raised the issue as to whether the Hurd boathouse should be removed because of excesses in the 250-500' setback area. As directed, the applicants did meet with the three neighbors to develop a plan for the relocation of the new residence. Refer to Exhibits 1 and M, they have agreed that the setback line defined by the Erickson house. Exhibit I, designation "B", and Theilmann house. Exhibit I, designation "D", would determine the lakeshore setback line. Refer to Exhibit M, the proposed three story bay addition will encroach that agreed upon line by 7'. The main level deck would encroach the agreed upon line by 15' and the lower level screen porch by 13'. Please note all three neighbors have approved this encroachment. Refer to Exhibits F-2 and G-2, the Grundeens and Ericksons have submitted letters in support of the revised plan. Mr. Theilmann did not submit his approval in writing but appeared at the August Planning Commission meeting to voice his approval of the revised plan. Refer to Section 3 above (pertinent ordinance facts). The .^^etback variance to be granted is defined by the Orono Code. If approved as proposed, the setback variances will be granted to the average lakeshore setback line as defined in Section 10.22, Subd. 1 (B). In the Planning Commission memo for the August meeting, staft had asked Commission members to consider total hardcover on the property as applicant proposed an 8.9% excess in the 250-500’ setback area. The property is allowed a total of 6,178.5 s.f. of hardcover improvements as follows: 75-250' setback area allowed 3,937.5 s.f. 250-500' setback area allowed 2,241 s.f. Total = 6,178.5 s.f.
