Note from the survey that 3875 Shoreline is located 4.3* from the side lot line and that 3865 Shoreline is located 2.8* from the side lot line and about 6' from the County Road 15 right-of-way. 4. There were 2 detached garages previously located on the property. The smaller of the 2 has been removed. The other garage is partially on 3877 Shoreline, partially on the lot in question and partially withini County Road 15 right-of-way. 5. Please refer to Exhibit G, Haxardous Building resolutions affecting these two properties. At this time, applicant is attempting to comply with the requirements for upgrading contained within those resolutions, in order to avoid having to remove the buildings. DISCUSSION In January 1988, Building Inspector Tom Jacobs commenced the process for hazardous building action on the two structures in question. Resolutions ordering Abatement of Hazardous Building for each of the properties were adopted in January 1988, and the applicant is in the process of attempting to comply with these City requirements. However, when the applicant appeared at the City offices to obtain permits for the necessary work, he was informed by staff that a variance to Section 10.03, Subdivisions 4 and 7 would have to be granted by the City Council before staff could issue renovation permits for either house, hence this application. The 2 houses on this single lot have been located on the property for many years, and were apparently constructed prior to zoning codes. The 2 houses have been used as rentals for a number of years. Although the property owner is technically an absentee landlord, his residence i_£ adjacent to the rental units. One of the City's concerns with allowing the renovation (i.e. enhancing the permanence of the structures) is the location of 3865 Shoreline near the County Road 15 right-of-way. The improvements to County Road 15 have brought the traveled roadway near the property line, and the County has gone on record as opposing any renovation of structures that are within the right-of-way, such as the 20x24 garage. Another issue to consider is the access situation for these 4 rental houses. They are served by 2 driveways, both accessing to County Road 15. Mote that 2405 Dunwoody, which does not technically abut County Road 15 but does abut Dunwoody Avenue, does not have a driveway access to Dunwoody. From a safety standpoint, 2405 Dunwoody probably should not have an access to Dunwoody since that access would be too close to the intersection. However, because the access is a shared one, there is an extremely large percentage of gravel driveway hardcover on the 3865/3875 property. A rough calculation by staff indicates that the 75-250* hardcover percentage for 3865/3875 is about 55%. Obviously, elimination of 1 of the houses and its associated parking and driveway needs would reduce hardcover percentage to more closely conform with Orono's hardcover requirements. • • ' 't *~mr N • 4 1 -S' :■■■■ :u h V' ■■ t'.: Zoning File September 27 Page 2 of 3 The app both structu water meter, been made s€ Planni phase out ol to be agree this proper expenditure STAFF RBCOM Certaii 2 principal to adoption is not a no residential Approv make both s buiIdings. structure • removes tha the second only about option of m staff would owner to e£ "grace per: t ♦ ^
