MINUTES OF A REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING <br />HELD JUNE 14, 1993 <br />» • <br />(#7) #1824 ERIC & SHELLY LILJEQUIST, <br />3490 BIRCH LANE - VARIANCE - RESOLUTION #3288 <br />It was moved by Goetten, seconded by Kelley, to adopt Resolution <br />#3288 for Application #1824 Eric and Shelly Liljequist, 3490 Birch <br />Lane, approving a rear yard setback to permit the construction of <br />a detached garage. Ayes 3, nays 0. <br />(#8) #1825 THOMAS L. MCCARTHY, <br />2490 OLD BEACH ROAD - PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION <br />Thomas McCarthy and Mark Gronberg were present. <br />Mabusth explained this is a request for a 2 lot subdivision within <br />the LR-1B 1 acre zoning district. The applicant has proposed two <br />options: 1) to create an easement through Lot 2 for access to Lot <br />1 which would reduce an area variance and would not be acceptable; <br />aid 2) access via a platted corridor. She explained under the <br />former ordinance, the lot width would have been measured at the <br />35’ rear/street setback and 75’ lakeshore setback and the property <br />could not have been developed as a flag lot due to the lack of <br />width at the 30’ setback. The current ordinance a'lows for the lot <br />width to De measured at the shoreline and the 75’ setback. She <br />indicated the Planning Commission was asked to consider the <br />combination of zones 75-250’ and 250-500’ with regard to hardcover <br />to compensate for the excess hardcover within tne platted corridor. <br />The application was denied based upon the excess of hardcover <br />within the 250-500’ zone. <br />Gronberg suggested the recent Lund application was very similar In <br />that there was an overage of hardcover within one zone and a <br />shortage In another, and Council was asked to consider the property <br />as a whole. He suggested the platted corridor be maintained at 27’ <br />wide, but the paved surface be reduced to 8’ wide, thereby <br />maintaining the allowed 30X in that zone. However, this would <br />create an undesirable looking lot. <br />McCarthy noted the 2*way travelled road currently used In the Shore <br />Hills neighborhood Is reduced to 10’ wide in some areas. <br />Goetten felt the subdivision should meet the 1 acre standard <br />exclustve of the roadway area. <br />Kelley stated he is not In favor of the subdivision, but if it <br />meets alt the standards, he would vote for it. <br />Goetten felt if they were creating an unsafe drive, that would be <br />grounds to deny the application. She stated the Lund application <br />was dissimilar due to the size of the property. <br />a
