�. yr= / 2 coiVTtl To: Planning Commission Chairman Kelley _ Orono Planning Commission Members City Administrator Bernhardson From: Michael P. Gaffron, Asst Planning & Zoning Administrator Date: September 30, 1988 Subject: #1338 Duane & Connie Schibilla, 3235 Crystal Bay Road - Variance - Public Hearing Application - Request for hardcover and accessory structure area variances to construct a new garage. Zoning District - LR-lC, Single Family, 1/2 Acre, Sewered List of Exhibits Exhibit A - Application Exhibit B - Plat Map Exhibit C - Property Owners List & Neighbor Acknowledgements Exhibit D - Survey Submitted by Applicant Exhibit E - Survey From City Files Exhibit F - Applicant's Hardcover Calculations Exhibit G - Selected Garage Plans Submitted Exhibit H - Neighborhood Survey Compilation Pertinent Facts - 1. The applicants are requesting variances to replace a garage which was removed after damage occurred during the 1987 super storm. That garage was located in approximately same location as the proposed garage. (Note that the pre-existing garage does not show on any survey). 2.. The proposed garage will consist of 2 stories due to the topography of the site. The upper story will be a garage space exiting to the south. The lower space is intended for storage. Total square footage of each floor is 624 square feet for a total of 1248 square feet, exceeding the 1,000 square foot floor area maximum for accessory structures by 248 square feet or 25%. 3. Per the applicants hardcover calculations submitted and as revised by staff, current hardcover is 29.6% in the 75-250' zone, and construction of the new garage and its associated driveway will result in a 75-250' hardcover of 39.6%. Note that the rear driveway that serves a number of these residences (along the railroad) is actually within railroad right-of-way. Hf6e.i_-crvt* (44_curA-r1e1.$). 4. The topography of the site would suggest that a 2 level garage structure is appropriate for this property. In order that the structure not exceed the 1,000 square foot maximum floor area, the garage would have to be reduced to 500 square cent per floor (dimension3 of 20x25 or 22x22). 5. From a site � lanning standpoint, the garage would be appropriately located at the proposed site. Garages serving neighboring properties exist on either side, and this garage will line up with those garages.
