To: Mayor Grabek & Orono Council Members <br />Planning Commission Chairman Kelley <br />Orono Planning Commission Members <br />City Administrator Bernhardson <br />From: Michael P. Gaffron, Asst Planning & Zoning Administrator <br />Date: June 13, 1989 <br />Subject: #1416 Jeffrey Eccles, 3025 Sixth Avenue North - <br />Variance - Public Hearing <br />Zoning District - RR-lB <br />Application - Request for side setback variance to construct <br />attached garage. <br />List of Exhibits <br />Exhibit A - Application <br />Exhibit B - Plat Map <br />Exhibit C - Property Owners List <br />Exhibit D - Survey <br />Exhibit E - Survey with Staff Notations <br />Pertinent Pacts - <br />1. Proposed Side Setback <br />Required Side Setback <br />Variance = 18.9' <br />11.1' <br />30' <br />2. The proposed garage will replace an existing one-car <br />attached garage with a larger garage. Applicant notes that <br />his hardship is existing location of the driveway and garage <br />in addition to the location of the existing house near the <br />northeast corner of the lot. The proposed garage location <br />would make use of the existing driveway. <br />Discussion - <br />The proposed location for this attached garage is <br />appropriate given the existing driveway. Moving the garage to <br />the rear of the house would encroach on the existing septic <br />tanks. Moving the garage to the front of the house would <br />conflict with the existing well, and would require a front set­ <br />back variance. Placing a new garage on the west side of the <br />house would create a need to significantly change the driveway <br />configuration. <br />Applicant has not indicated reasons why he requires a 30' <br />garage width. Obviously, a narrower garage would leave a greater <br />setback to the lot line. <br />The nearest residence to the east is approximately 110' from <br />the proposed garage. As of this writing, that neighbor has not <br />commented on this proposal.
