HimiTBS OF THE PUUmiNG COMMISSION : IA:ITING HOVBMBER 21, 1988 ZONING PILE #1346-HEGBBRG CONTINUED Chairman Kelley asked if hardships were required, in light of the fact that Mr. Hagberg was reducing the hardcover? Gaffron explained that the Council was concerned about the lack of a hardship. Planning Commission member Brown inquired about the amount of hardcover. Gaffron replied that without removals, there would be an increase in the 75* to 250* zone, as well as a slight increase in the 250* to 500* zone. Mr. Hagberg had indicated that he would remove a tin shed that is 101 s.f and remove 120 s.f. and 473 s.f. of rockbeds and plastic. Hardcover within the 0-75* zone would reduce from 18.6% to 17.7%. There would also be a significant reduction in hardcover within the 75- 250* zone. Kelley inquired as to the need to indicate hardships when hardcover is being reduced. Saffron reiterated that the Planning Commission had not provided any recommendation to the Council that hardcover be reduced. It was moved by Planning Commission member Cohen, seconded by Planning Commission member Brown, to recommend approval of this application based upon the removal of hardcover as indicated. The hardships in this application are the lack of storage, and the topography of Mr. Hagberg*s lot. In addition, Mr. Hagberg will reduce the amount of hardcover on his property. Motion, Ayes«6, Nays»=0, Motion passed. §1353 JOHN L. FIEBELKORN 2730 SHADTWOOD ROAD AFTER-THE-FACT VARIANCES PUBLIC HEARING 7:35 P.M. - 8:05 P.N. Mr. and Mrs. Fiebelkorn were present, as was Mr. Larry Berg, an Attorney for the Fiebelkorns. In addition, Pat Anderson, a Landscape Architect, and Ken Adolph, an Engineer with Schoell & Madson, Inc . t^ere present. Mr. Berg began by admitting that there were serious problems involved with this application, but assured the Planning Commission that the Fiebelkorns did not intentionally disregard Orono*s ordinances. He said that the Fiebelkorns were new lakeshore homeowners and unaware of the required setbacks. A vinyl pool kit was purchased and installed primarily by Mr. Fiebelkorn. The pool was installed without permits and entirely withing the 0-75* lakeshore setback zone. They are now requesting after-the-fact variances to allow it to remain. Mr. Berg stated that a plan had been developed that he believed would solve pre-existing drainage problems and reduce hardcover. Mr. Berg explained that a portion of the Fiebelkorn*s property was dredged, creating a lagoon. Planning Commission member Bellows asked when this dredging occurred- Mr. Berg replied that it occurred in the 1950*s. It was his belief that this land alteration was the hardship in this case. He reported that a neighboring property owner had a boathouse on the shoreline that was more obtrusive than the Fiebelkorn*s pool. Mr.
