MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON MAY 19.1997 (#13 - W22il Jim and Roxanne Sta^ - Continued) The q)plicant requested the application be presented to Council at their May 27 meeting. •(#14) #2238 CHIC DWIGHT AND FRED GUTTORMSON, 1220 TONKAWA ROAD - VARIANCE - PUBUC HEARING - 9:56-10:27 P.M. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. Fred Guttormson was present. Gaffron reported that the application was a two-part request. The first request was for an after-the-fact lakeshore setback and 0-75* hardcover variances for an enclosure of a room below the pre-eTusting deck. The applicant reedved approval for thb enclosure last year with the condition that particular hm’dcover be removed; the condition was not met. The second request is for a 75-250' hardcover variance for construction of a detached 3(ftc32* garage. The garage will be located to meet the 15 ’ side setback. The garage meets the 10' street setback with side feeing doors. Hardcover exists at 36.4% in the 75-250' setback where 25% is allowed. The proposal would result in 35.9% hardcover with removal of a shed and portion of the driveway. A portion of the garage is over gravel. The 0-75' hardcover exists at 10.9% which includes an 8' gravel driveway which exhibits new gravel, and a 4*x9' shed. Another shed appears to have been removed. Gafifron noted there is a loop driveway located in the 0-75' setback. The deck exists at 34' from the shoreline. The enclosure did not meet building code standards and was completed without a permit. If it is approved, the enclosure would require rd^uil^ng. A hardship statement was pro\dded for the garage. No hardship statement was presented Tor the deck enclosure, but the enclosure had been approved previously but expired because the resolution was not rigned and no permit was issued. Gaf^n pointed out that the lakeshore dedc and gravel driveway are still present on the property. Their removal was required in the previous resolution. Gafi&’on asked the Commission to consider whether hardship is demonstrated and if other removals should be required to reduce the hardcover. He questioned whether the loop driveway should be in the 0-75* setback. He asked the Commission to verify that conditions of Resolution 3611 should be applied. He suggested the possibility of allowing the applicant five years in which to remove the lakeside deck. Gaffron said Staff does not necessarily recommend approval of such an amortization period but recommended conditions 1-4 as outlined in the packet. Guttormson said he had added unndows placed on the existing railroad ties to enclose the deck. He believed this would not be considered permanent as the windows are removed in the summer months. He then found he need m approval and the work performed to building standards. Guttormson said he wouiu like to maintmn the lakeshore deck.
