ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />MINUTES FOR APRIL 27,1998 <br />(#9) #23 "8 RANDY AND MARIE STAFFANSON, 1422 PARK DRIVE - VARIANCES - <br />RESOLUTION NO. 4069 <br />The applicants were present. <br />Van Zomeren explained the application is for a side yard variance to construct a new 24' x 30' <br />garage. The previous garage was 630 s.f. and was destroyed by fire. A hardcover variance is also <br />required although they are slightly reducing the hardcover amount. The Planning Commission <br />recommended unanimous approval. <br />The applicants had no additional comments. <br />Goetten questioned the garage setback, noting the former garage was 6.16' while the proposed <br />setback is 5.72'. Van Zomeren explained that because of the shape of the lot, several inches are lost <br />as you move forward. The garage will be attached to the house. <br />Kelley asked about the accessory shed. Van Zomeren responded that the Planning Commission <br />discussed the shed but agreed to allow the shed to remain in its current location because of the shape <br />of the lot, and it is on a concrete pad. <br />Kelley also asked about allowing only 630 s.f for replacement of the new garage since that is what <br />previously existed. Van Zomeren responded that it had not been discussed as the applicants were <br />requesting a 24' x 30' garage. <br />Goetten asked if the accessory structure would be considered legal, non-conforming. In the future, <br />if it came down, a new accessory structure would be required to meet 10' setbacks. Van Zomeren <br />agreed to add this condition to the resolution. <br />Kelley asked if there was anything written from the neighbor to the south. Van Zomeren confirmed <br />that signatures were on file from both neighbors. <br />Goetten moved, Peterson seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 4069, granting approval of side yard <br />setback and hardcover variances for construction of a new 24' x 30' garage located at 1422 Park <br />Drive for Randy and Marie Staffanson, with the addition of the condition that replacement of the <br />accessory structure would be required to meet setback standards. Vote; Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />6 .
