Gaffron, Asst Planning & Zoning Administrator • <br />Mayor Grabek & Orono Council Members <br />City Administrator Bernhardson <br />August 24, 1990 <br />Subject: #1559 John and Roberta Henrich, 4125 Highwood Road - <br />Variance - Resolution <br />Zoning District - LR-IB, Single family lakeshore residential, 1 acre, <br />sewered <br />Application - Request for hardcover and average setback variances to <br />construct decks, bedroom addition, and detached garage. <br />List of Exhibits <br />Exhibit A - Resolution <br />Exhibit B - Planning Commission Action Notice <br />Exhibit C - Applicants Hardcover Removal Plan & Calculations <br />Exhibit D - Memo & Exhibits of 7/12/90 <br />Discussion <br />Please review the memo and exhibits of July 12th. Briefly, the <br />applicants are proposing to construct decks on the lakeside of the <br />house, a 6' X 14* bedroom addition on the north end of the house, and <br />a 25* X 30* detached garage to replace a small existing garage. <br />Applicants agreed to limit their garage to 750 s.f. footprint in <br />order to not need a street or side setback variance. <br />Due to the neighboring house to the east being very close to the <br />road, the proposed decks require averag lakeshore setback variance. <br />Planning Commission felt that these decks would not impact any <br />neighbors view of the lake, and recommended approval of the average <br />setback variance. <br />Regarding the hardcover variance, existing 75-250* hardcover is <br />43.6%. Planning Commission recommended that hardcover be removed in <br />conjunction with the proposed improvements, yielding no net increase <br />in hardcover. The applicants have provided a hardcover removal plan <br />that will result in a slight decrease to 43.0%. <br />In reviewing applicants plans prior to drafting of the <br />resolution, staff discovered that an incorrect dimension by the <br />applicants contractor led staff to believe that the garage might be <br />higher than the house. A site inspection with the applicants verified <br />that as proposed, the garage would be about 1.5* higher than the <br />house. The applicants have agreed to revise the pitch ol ‘•.he roof <br />from 1212 to 1012 so that no height variance is necessary. Staff also <br />verified with the applicants that grading to accomodate the storage <br />level below the garage would not encroach into the 0-75* zone and in <br />fact would be limited to an area within 10-20* of the garage.
