Zoning File #2112 <br />May 15,19% <br />Page 2 <br />have been considered as no longer valid for further work. In 1994 the building insp>ectors found the <br />applicant replacing major portions of the deck. StatT concluded that this additional work required <br />a building permit as well as additional variance approval because it constituted replacement of <br />existing structure/hardcover when the property is in excess of the standard hardcover limits. <br />Please recall that by Council directive, since the mid-1980s staff has not had the ability to <br />"negotiate" hardcover revisions when a property exceeds the 25% hardcover limit. In this case, and <br />in a significant number of other properties in Orono. "in-kind" deck replacement where hardcover <br />is excessive has been dealt with via the variance process. <br />Hardcover <br />Resolution No. 2254 allowed the property 4,405 s.f. (40.2%) hardcover in the 75-250' zone. A <br />comparison of the 1987 hardcover approval and applicant's sur\ eyor's current calculations indicate <br />the 75-250' zone is about 217 s.f. smaller than the area used in 1987, and the hardcover is currently <br />at 4,789 s.f, or 384 s.f more than was approved, per the following chart; <br />1987 SUBMITTAL/APPROVAL <br />(75-250'area = 10,937 s.f.) <br />1996 SURVEY <br />(75-250' area - 10,720 s.f.) <br />House 1,432 s.f House 2,270 si <br />Garage & House Addition 1,100 s.f Garage 778 s.f <br />Existing Garage 400 s.f <br />Driveway 238 s.f Driveway 425 si <br />Deck Not Over Patio 85 s.f Decks 244 si <br />Patio 576 s.f Patio (not under deck)220 s.f <br />Rock Walls 194 s.f Rock Walls 330 s.f <br />Sidewalk 260 s.f Sidewalk 492 s.f <br />Added Deck N. of Patio <br />(= Screen Porch)120 s.f Steps 30 s.f <br />4,405 s.f 4,789 si <br />There appear to be a number of factors related to this discrepancy including: <br />1987 survey by Schoell & Madson and 1996 survey by Gronberg do not match: <br />Location of street lot line in relation to the pre-existing portions of garage is <br />different. <br />Location of 250' hardcover setback line is significantly different between the <br />two surveys. <br />Applicant cut back his original remodeling plans after variance approval but prior to <br />i
