To: Planning Commission Chairman Kelley <br />Orono Planning Commission Members <br />City Administrator Bernhardson <br />From: Jeanne A. Mabusth, Building & Zoning Administrator <br />Date: June 1, 1988 <br />Subject: #1207 Gene & Catherine Scanlon, 2815 Casco Point Road - <br />Variances - Continuation of Public Hearing Renotification <br />List of Exhibits <br />Exhibit A - Staff Memo 10/15/87 <br />Exhibit B - Survey <br />Exhibit C - Applicant's Letter 3/9/88 <br />Exhibit D - Doctor's Letter 3/11/86 <br />Exhibit E - Applicant's Addendum <br />Exhibit F - Elevation of Lake Structure <br />Exhibit G - Plans for Improvement <br />Exhibit H - Staff Memo - 1978 Review <br />Exhibit I - Planning Commission Minutes 9/1]/78 <br />Exhibit J - Planning Commission Minutes 9/25/78 <br />Exhibit K - Council Minutes 9/26/78 <br />Exhibit L - Council Action Notice 9/27/78 <br />Exhibit M - Profile/Floor Plan Original Deck <br />Special Comments <br />The application was tabled indefinitely at the November 16, 1987 Planning <br />Commission meeting awaiting further notice from the applicant. The long <br />delay for the review of the application was a result of Mr. Scanlon's ill <br />health. Please review the attached original staff memo dated October 15, <br />1987. Since the writing of that original memo staff has had discussions <br />with Mrs. Scanlon and was advised of an eerlier variance review that <br />approved the original deck within the lakeshore. The original owners <br />received variance approval from the City on 9/26/78 to construct a lakeside <br />deck. The Scanlons did not own the property at that point and purchased <br />the property based on the deck improvement (review Exhibit E). The minutes <br />(review Exhibits I, J, & K) reveal the deck being approved by the City at a <br />15' by 11' dimension totaling a 165 s.f. in hardcover. The face of the <br />current application shows the original deck being constructed at 21' by 10' <br />dimension resulting in 210 s.f. of hardcover. The original block storage <br />shed was at the waterline, the proposed new 7' by 7' storage shed would be <br />under the proposed deck located further away from the shoreline. The <br />original deck was approved because of the steep terrain. The approval was <br />conditioned on the requirement that a 12" deep gravel sub -based be <br />maintained under the 15' by 11' deck and that plantings be provided along <br />the lakeside of the deck to screen the structure from the lake side view. <br />Review of Variances Sought with Current Application <br />Section 10.22, Subdivision 1 (B) Lakeshore setback <br />Required = 75' <br />Original neck setback = 15' (60' or 80% variance) <br />Original Shed setback = 0' (75' or 100% variance) <br />Proposed Deck = 20' (55' or 73% variance) <br />
