r ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR APRIL 27,1998 (U12) U2362 Bob Howard, 1300 Shoreline Drive - Continued Kelley suggested the City look at vacating Hanlon Avenue which would add property to the lot making it more conforming. He did not think the City would build a road there. Jabbour asked statV to investigate the possibility of vacating a portion of Hanlon Avenue. Van Zomeren explained that the property owners of a triangular piece of the property in the area want to sell that piece to Mr. Howard. They had accidentally bought the property in a tax forfeit sale. Jabbour asked why the City didn't buy it for mitigation of wetlands. Gaffron responded that it wouldn't help mitigation because it is already a wetland. The County also owns some lots in the area. Moorse asked for clarification of access to the property. Van Zomeren responded that the proposed garage faces south and County Road 15 and would use the current access. Jabbour suggested approving the application to expedite tearing the house down, assuring the buildability of the lot and collecting from the insurance company. Staff will look into vacating the road and its implications. Jabbour moved, Peterson seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 4072 granting lot area, lot width, front, side and rear yard setback variances to allow construction of a new residence on the property located at 1300 Shoreline Drive; and directed staff to implement cleanup of the property Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0.
