To: Mayor Grabek & Orono Council Members Planning Commission Chairman Kelley Orono Planning Commission Members City Administrator Bernhardson Proa: Michael P. Gaffron, Asst Planning & Zoning Administrator Date: May 10, 1989 Subject: #1402 John Lehmeyer, 320 Crestview Avenue - Variance - Public Hearing Zoning District - LR-IA Application - Request for rear setback and structure-to-scructure setback variances to construct/re-buil'i deck. List of Exhibits Exhibit A - Application Exhibit B - Plat Map Exhibit C - Property Owners List Exhibit D - Survey Exhibit E - Hardcover Calculations by Staff Pertinent Facts - 1. The applicant previously had an elevated deck in the same location as is now proposed, but was required to remove that deck when he installed an above ground pool in 1983, to maintain the required 10' setback from the deck to the pool water surface. 2. Applicant has removed the pool and wishes to reconstruct the deck. The deck will be 28* from the rear lot line where a 50* rear setback is normally required. Also, the deck will be approximately 8* from the detached garage, with a stairway extending as close as 4* from the detached garage. Applicant is proposing to replace the existing deck in kind, and the new portion would just extend that deck further to the rear, at the same 6* platform height. 3. With the addition of the 40* lot parcel south of the house that was the subject of a recent lot line rearrangement, applicant's hardcover is just under the 35% hardcover limit for the property. No hardcover variance is necessary. Discussion - The applicant's house has a shallow basement, hence the main floor level is 5-6* above normal grade. There has always been walkway and deck connecting the side entry next to the driveway with the rear patio door, and a stairway leading to grade next to the garage. That deck and stairway exist now and are proposed to be re-built in exactly in the same location.
