CITY of ORONO <br />RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br />NO. 3000 <br />3. The property is approximately 0.27 acre in area, <br />contains a portion of the creek leading from Classen Lake to <br />Stubbs Bay, and has not been provided with municipal sewer. <br />4. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application <br />on July 15, 1991 and recommended approval of the proposed <br />variances and conditional use permit as described above, <br />based on the following findings: <br />A) The proposed garace to be located 10' from the <br />existing house as required by Zoning Code Section <br />10.03, Subdivi zion 12, and to be located 26' from the <br />creek as required by Section 10.55, Subdivision 8, <br />replaces an existing garage located only 5' from the <br />existing house and only 14' from the creek. Therefore, <br />in those two respects the new garage will be conforming <br />whereas the old garage was non -conforming. <br />B) The setbacks from -%_ne front street lot line and the <br />side street lot line at* proposed to be 30' and 37' <br />respectively. The 11' f:-mt street setback variance is <br />justif ied in that the garage wi 11 sti 11 be behind the <br />front line of the existing house. The side street <br />setback variance of 13' is supported by the fact that <br />substantial screening exists along Bayside Road so that <br />the garage will not be obtrusive. <br />C) Hardcover in the 75-250' zone under proposed <br />"Option B" will be reduced from 33.9% existing to <br />28.9%, after removals of the existing garage acid <br />specific areas of plastic lined rocki:eds. Hardcover in <br />the 250-500' zone will remain below the 30% limit. <br />D) Except for the area within the defined banks of the <br />creek that traverses the property, the entire property <br />is located in a floodfringe sheet flow area, requiring <br />that the floor of the garage be placed at least 1' <br />above the 934' creek overflow elevation at this site. <br />It is reasonable and feasible to construct the garage <br />with a floor elevation of 935'. <br />5. Per Section 10.55, Subdivision 10 (B), the proposed <br />garage meets the setbacks required by Section 10.55, <br />Subdivision 8, and in the sheet flow area will not restrict <br />or obstruct any floodflow nor will it raise the level of the <br />f loodf low. <br />Page 2 of 7 <br />
