I 'nfin <br />I <br />TO <br />FROM: <br />DATE: <br />SOBJ: <br />Mayor Butler <br />Mark Bernhardson, City Administrator <br />Orono Council Members <br />Planning Commission Members <br />Michael P. Gaffron, Assistant Zoning Administrator <br />July 16, 1986 <br />#1050 Thomas R. Browne, 760 S. Brown Road - <br />Variance - Public Hearing <br />Rolling District - RR-IB <br />Application ** Front yard setback variance to construct a 2 story <br />addition and attached garage. <br />List of Exhibits - <br />A - Application <br />B - Plat Map <br />C - Property Owners list <br />D - Survey <br />E - Construction Plans <br />Pertinent Pacts - <br />Prior <br />Required Existing Proposed <br />Front Yard Setback 50' 37.2' 37.2' <br />(replacing old front porch with 2-story addition? new den <br />and garage will both keep 37.2* setback but are considered <br />new structural encroachment into front setback zone) <br />Discussion - <br />Applicant removed his screen porch to replace it with a 2-story <br />addition. However, because the proposed den (an afterthought) <br />requires a variance because it is new structure in front setback <br />zone, applicant also is requesting at this time approval for a <br />new attached garage on the north side of house. Note that <br />applicant put in a new septic system about a year ago and is <br />relocating his driveway further north to a safer location, with <br />the City's and County's blessing. <br />There is substantial vegetation screening along the front lot <br />line. The proposed 37.2' setback for all the additions conforms <br />to the 37.2' setback of the porch that was removed. <br />The additions will have no effect on the existing septic system <br />nor will they encroach on any future drainfield sites. There is <br />a potential that the garage might be moved further to the rear a <br />few feet depending on the exact location of the wetland boundary.
