To:Mayor Peterson & Orono Council Members <br />City Administrator Moorse <br />Proa:Michael P. Gaffron, Asst. Planning & Zoning Administrator <br />Date:November 4, 1991 <br />Subject: #1682, Christine Brickley, 3262 North Shore Drive <br />Variance - Resolution <br />Zoning District - LR-lC-1, Single family lakeshore residential, <br />1/2 acre, unsewered <br />Application - Request for variances to construct detached garage. <br />List of Exhibits <br />Exhibit A <br />Exhibit B <br />Exhibit C <br />Exhibit 0 <br />Resolution <br />Notice of Planning Commission Action 10/23/91 <br />Sketch by Staff <br />Memo and Exhibits of 10/14/91 <br />Rote: <br />This application unfortunately has changed to an after-the-fact <br />situation. The weekend after the Planning Commission meeting, <br />construction was commenced on the proposed garage without final <br />Council action nor a building permit. This came to staff's attention <br />on Monday, October 28th and a stop work order was posted. The <br />applicant was advised that work could not continue until such time <br />that the Council approves the necessary variances and a building <br />permit is issued. To make matters worse, the garage was not <br />constructed per the revised plan approved by the Planning Commission. <br />The roof was pitched such that half its runoff is directed to the side <br />lot line where only a 3' setback was proposed, and this will <br />potentially direct runoff to the neighboring property. <br />Discussion <br />Please review the memos and exhibits of October 14th and <br />September 6th. Briefly, the applicant poured a slab without <br />contacting the City nor obtaining any approval for her intended garage <br />construction. The inspection staff found the slab being poured in <br />late August, and advised the owner of the apparent problems that would <br />be encountered in constructing a garage at that location. The <br />subsequent survey found that the slab was poured 3.3' from the west <br />lot line and 2.6' from the south lot line. Applicant intended to <br />construct a 1,056 s.f. garage on this 32'x32' slab. She was advised <br />of the need for a number of variances and made application. After the <br />initial Planning Commission review in September, at which tabling <br />occurred, applicant revised her proposal to a 768 s.f. (24'x32*) <br />garage.
