City of ORONO <br />RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br />NO. <br />a) #802, John Munsel I - LR-lB 1 acre variance area, 190feet <br />width; proposed area 10,000 sf or 23%, proposed lot width 50feet <br />or 36%. Merton Crooker, fee owner of the property for over 30 <br />years maintained a summer cabin that lacked sanitary facilities, <br />sewer was not available. Crooker applied to Lhe City for <br />building permits to upgrade the principal structure and was <br />consistently denied on the basis that any impto,:ement would <br />intensify the use thereby creating potential hazards to the <br />public health, safety and welfare. The City advised Crooker that <br />sewer would have to be made available to the property before <br />improvements could be made to the structure. On July 13, -)93, <br />the City approved Resolution 1294 including the Crooker pt�;)erty <br />in a limited sewer project. Crooker could have connected to <br />sewer and made the necessary repairs to the exisitng structure <br />with building permits for no zoning review would have been <br />required. The cabin remained vacant and was vandalized and was <br />razed per a hazardous building action. Mur.sell applied for lot <br />area and lot width variances to construct a new residence. The <br />City approved the variances based on many of the findings noted <br />in Resolution 1294 and in addition advised the applicant to <br />petition the City for release and private sale of an adjacent lct <br />of similar size owned by the City. The surrounding neighborhood <br />(Highwood) is old and already established, the development size <br />of this lot is consistent with nearby Highwood neighborhood. <br />b) #800 Thomas Burnevik - LR-lC 1/2 acre minimum area, 100 <br />feet width - proposed area 7,500 sf or 35%, proposed width 50 <br />feet or 50% - Once again under one owner for many years, City <br />refused improvement of existing cabin until sewer was made <br />available. The property was included in a limited sewer project <br />and was assessed a sewer unit io 1983 and a water unit in 1982. <br />Burnevik had to apply for lot area and lot width variances <br />because the existing structure was to be removed and a new <br />residence relocated on the property. <br />c) 11780 Gerald Bloms - LR-1B 1 acre minimum area, 140 feet <br />width - proposed 17,9h0 sf or 39% the lot area is consistent with <br />all single developed lots in the Forest Arms Country Club <br />W <br />
