To: Mayor Grabek & Orono Council Members City Administrator Bernhardson From: Michael P. Gaffron, Asst Planning & Zoning Administrator Date: January 17, 1989 Subject: #1353 John & Nancy Fiebelkorn, :2-730 Shadywood Road - After-the-Fact Variance Application - Request for after-the-fact variances to construct swimming pool and associated patio in 0-75' lakeshore setback zone. Zoning District - LR-IB, single family, 1-acre, sewered List of Exhibits Exhibit A - Letter From Applicants Dated 1/3/89 Exhibit B - Planning Commission Minutes of 11/21/88 Exhibit C - Notice of Planning Commission Action 11/23/88 Exhibit D - Memo & Exhibits of 11/14/88 Discussion - Please review the memo and exhibits of November 14, 1988. Briefly, the property owners are requesting after-the-fact variances for a swimming pool that was constructed in the 0-75' lakeshore zone without permits. They are proposing to construct specific run-off control facilities to mitigate the effects of the additional run-off created. The Planning Commission at their meeting of November 21, 1988, recommended denial of the application on a vote of 6-0, finding no hardship nor any reasonable justificat*rn for granting of the requested variances after-the-fact. Planning Commission discussion indicated that they felt there was no way to mitigate the effects of the proposed structure or hardcover based on location and based on the precedent that approval would set. Staff Recosir ndation - Staff concurs with the Planning Commission recommendation, noting that approval of these after-the-fact variances to hardcover, setback, and average setback would not only be precedent setting, but would jeopardize the integrity of Orono's lakeshore policies, philosophies and ordinances. Staff will draft a resolution for Council's next meeting, based on Council's action on January 23rd. 7-0 A, A > f)t ^ -2^
