MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY ’ COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON SEPTEMBER 9, 1996 (#9 - #2166 Janet Kieman - Continued) Gaffron continued that there are a number of changes proposed to the house The majority of the work is to the north out of the 0-75' setback The change to the roof line is partially in the 0-75' setback and within the 30' side setback The change to the deck does not result in fiirther encroachment to the lake side or side setback There is a removal of hardcover proposed in the 0-75' setback with a replacement of a semi-circle patio originally planned as an equal tradeoff. As a result of the Planning Commission recommendation, the 0-75' hardcover will be reduced to 3.9*/o The driveway access will be moved south from its current unsafe location. This change is seen as positive as the new location is safer and creates better sight distance. There is a concern for drainage as it crosses the property. More detail of the drainage plans will be required vdth the building permit There will possibly be a need for retaining walls adjacent to the driveway A neighboring property has a serpentine wall which applicants property drains toward There is no e.xisting holding area for drainage Along with the driveway change, two stalls will be added to the garage Due to its size exceeding 1000 s f, a 15' setback is required To meet the requirement, the additional stalls will be off set. The existing hardcover of 27.5% will increase 34 s.f to 27.6%. Gaffron said there is also concern for trees located out of the 0-75' setback. The property is located in a "hot spot" for sewering The original projection was for the sewer line to go across the lake side property but was since found to be not feasible with the neighboring properties to the north being lower in elevation It may be better to build the sewer line along the right-of-way but Gaffron said there would then be a possible concern with Indian mounds Kelley suggested building the sewer line into the roadway. Gaffron said the sewer line would tie in with a lift station at Bracketts point It was noted that the houses to the south are not sewered Cook said the property may be served by an individual grinder pump Jabbour noted a neighbors concern with the hill shape and need for shaving off the roadway when road widening is considered. Callahan noted that these issues do not affect this application Callahan asked if the resolution speaks of the problems regarding drainage. Gaffron said it did. Ms. Kieman informed Callahan that she was satisfied with the resolution. Goetten commented on the beautiful plan being presented Kelley moved, Goetten seconded, to approve Resolution #3761 per the Planning Commission's recommendation. Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 0.
