MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON SEPTEMBER 1L 1995 (#10 - #2057 James Nystrom - Continued) Fra/ee said the home was designed as an understated cottage with an upper master b«lroom and bath With the narrowness of the lot, the applicant wanted a low profile. It the house were to be made narrower, it would recjuire a second story design. Frazee said this would not be in keeping with the neighborhood. Hurr voiced concern with the house height changing in the fijture if this proposal were approved. Hurt said she was concerned with the drip line trom the proposed residence. 1 he code requires a 10* separation with a maximum allowed 1*1/2’ encroachment ot an overhang in the 10* setback. The proposed residence shows a 9 5* setback and 2.2* overhang, which would bring the roof drip line closer to the side setback line It was noted that the neighbor’s home to the south sits on the lot line as wxll as the garase It was said that a new home would be anticipated in the fijture on the f «i to the north. Kelley said he agreed with the need to meet the side setback and maintain the house out of the 0-75* zone. Kelley said this would require the house to be I* narrower on each side with the overhang. Hurr said this design requires more land than the lot provides Frazee said the owner took steps to make improvements on the lot by proposing a new house. Hurr noted the old residence "on average" met the 10* side setback. Callahan questioned this conclusion, opining that it was belter to move farther in than 1 6' as presenllv located on one side Hurr said it was her opinion that the side setback should be met as well as no e.xceeding of the M/2' overhang allowable Callahan noted that the house was moved out of the 0- 73’ zone. GatTron asked if the footprint to the house were to change, if the Council would like to see the application again It was detennined if the design met codes, met the side setbacks, met the 30~ hardcover requirement, and was out of the 0-75' zone, the Council would approve the application Hurr moved, Kelley seconded, to approve Resolution #3602 with amendments as noted.
