MINUTES OF THE ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD FEBRUARY 11, 1985. PAGE 6 Councilmember Grabek felt that the general concensus of the Council is that they would like to give a variance to this applicant because of the hardships, and before the Council gets to the point of creating an additional hardship on this individual by giving him maybe 2-31, which is the same as giving 20-25' , he felt it should be approved. Grabek sated that the Council should not pull figures/numbers out of the air with no specific reason or engineering rationale. Grabek felt that before the Council gets to the point where they would create additional hardship for the applicant by not making the deck desireable or useable after redesigning the deck, he felt it should be approved. Grabek felt that the Counci l's general trend is that the Counci 1 is going to allow some type of variance, and if they allow some type of variance to the 75' setback zone regulation, then the Counci 1 should give the applicant the 20'. David Kirscht asked that. the 1/2" strip condition be removed in that it would create a "trip strip" because the decking does not have railings, and people would trip over this 1/2" strip. Council agreed that the "trip strip" condition could be removed as long as the applicant places this strip along any portion of the deck that does have railings. #887 FREDERICK WINSTON 765 SPRING HILL RD VARIANCE RESOLUTION #1727* Councilmember T.
