TO: FROM: DATE: Mavor Callahan and Orono Council Members Ron Moorse. City Administrator Jeanne A. Mabusth, Building & Zoning Administrator June 4, 1993 X, X SURIECT: #1822 Mark Prueter, 3215 Crystal Bay Road - Variances - Resolution Brief Review of Application The applicant proposes an 18’x26’ two story addition to the rear or south of the existing residence struemre. The majority of the addition will be placed over an existing deck and stair structure. The lakeside deck and access stair at approximately 19’xl5 ’ will be replaced with an 18’xlO'/6’ deck. Tlie original lakeside deck received setback variance approvals in 1978. Based on the lakesioe view windows of the adjacent residences the replacement deck will have minimal impact on lakeshore views as properties are located on high bluffed areas with lakeshort yards over 100’ in length. In fact, the new deck will minimize the encroachment into the average lakeshore setback area by IW. Hardcover excesses exist on the property. Applicant shows a 1.7% reduction in the 0-75 setback area and a .8% or 65 s.f. increase m the 75-250 ’ setback area. The major concern for the Planning Commission for the review was need to maintain a 10’ emergency vehicle access between the adjacent residences at 3205 and 3235 Crystal Bay Road (review E.xhibit L). Principal structure at 3205 is located 15’ from the side lot line and a grade level deck located 2-3’ from side lot line. Staff advised that the code allows a 2 setback for grade level deck without railings foi if emergency vehicles were to gain access to buildings the structure would not present a physical obstacle or may easily be driven over. The residence at 3235 is 10’ from the side lot Kne. Applicant was asked to consider redu 'ing the lengtli of the addition so that a 10’ setback was met on the cast side lot line. The applicant advised the length was needed to accommodate a hallway and still allow room for a reasonable expansion. At the end of the discussion, Prtieter advised that a fire hydrant was located to the rear of h»3 property and that if emergency vehicles were to approach the site they would have to come via an exsement driveway over the railroad property to south side of applicant ’s property. Because ot the steep topography at the south side, \ehlcles would remain on access road and hoses attached to hydrant would be used to suppress tire.
