COUNCIL MEETING OCT 15 1984 To: Council Members From: Michael P. Gaffron, Assistant Zoning AdministQIW OF ORONO Date: October 10, 1984 Subject: #857, Jerry Nelson, 2565 Dunwoody Avenue Variance Zoning District - LR-1C Application - Add a deck: - increase hardcover from 24% to 29% in 75-256' zone. List of Exhibits: Exhibit A - Application Exhibit B - Plat Map E>'hibit G - Property Owners List Exhibit P. - Survey Exhibit E - Hardcover Calculations Exhibit F - Deck Plans Exhibit G - Planning Commission Minutes 9-17-84 Applicant is requesting to build a deck on the lake side of his house. The closest point will be 88' from the lake. The existing hardcover is about 24.5% in the 75'-25(_')' zone; the deck would increase this to 29%. In the 2.50'-500' zone, only 7% hardcover exists. Applicant wishes you to consider this in reviewing the application. The average setback line between the adjacent houses would run through the middle of the applicant's house. However, for all practical purposes, topography, elevations and e::isting vege- tation wokild tend to nullify any effect this addition might have on the neighbor's views of the lal::e. Staff would recommend approval of the application, noting that all setbacks are beinq met and the overall hardcover on the entire property is 8,884 s.f. where 10,740 s.f. would be allowed at maximum development. (Similar "credit" to that given the Pluhm application.) Planning Commission at their September 17, 1984 meeting recommend&d approval of the hardcover variance based on the findings that all setbacks would be met and that the overall hardcover on the property is substantially less than that which would be allowed at maximum development. A resolution is attached.
