Mabusth, Building & Zoning Administrator October 4, V)93 COUNCIL MSIM6 OCT I 1 1993 cmr OF ORONO Subject: #1873 Jack Edwards, 1340 Rest Point Circle - Variances - Resolution Brief Review of Application Applicant proposes a 12W x 4’ addition to the west side of the multi-purpose two-level detached structure. The application also involves a request for a storage addition measuring 8’ X 11 ’ to the east side of the lower level workshop. Both strucnires require street setback variances and hardcover variances as excesses of hardcover exist within the 75-250 ’ setback area. The garage is set back 2 ’ 9 " from the street lot line and the 4’ extension, because of the angle and placement of the garage on the property, will extend to approximately 2 ’ from the stteet lot line. The storage addition will be 17 ’ from the street lot line. No side setback variances are required for these additions. Hardcover within the 0-75 ’ setback area has been reduced 3.2% existing at 4.99% and proposed at 1 .8%. In the 75-250 ’ setback area there has been a reduction of 498 s.f. or 3.61 %. Hardcover exists at 40.1% and is proposed at 36.8%. The application involves the addition of 138.4 s.f. of structural hardcover and removal of 720 s.f. of non-structural hardcover consisting of brick patios, flagstone patios, pallet of flat stones and old concrete sidewalk. Over one-third of the hardcover removals arc proposed within the 0-75 ’ setback area. The Planning Commission reviewed the drainage concerns for the property owner as ^ City has a drainage culvert that outlets at the northwest comer of the property creating major erosion and flooding problems along the west lot lirie and the need to retain the flagstone walks as the properly is unable to maintain grass cover at .sleeper elevations. Applicant was asked to work with staff to improve existing grades within street yard between accessory structure and back of house so that grass cover can be maintained and flooding of residence eliminated. Planning Commission Recommendation The Planning Commission recommended unanimous approval of the proposed variances for the property at 1340 Rest Point Circle and encouraged applicant to work with staff to improve erosion problems in rear yard and to encourage applicant to work with City at some time in the future to dea* with more severe erosion problems along the west lot line involving runoff from culvert.
