MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD JULY 22, 1985. PAGE 6 <br />City Administrator Bernhardson explained applicants' <br />request for a hardcover variance to build a garage addition <br />in the 75-250' zone. Applicant is willing to trade-off <br />existing hardcover (including permeate rock beds) for the <br />addition. In addition, Bernhardson stated that there is an <br />existing boathouse within the 75' setback that should be <br />included in the variance. <br />Asst. Zoning Administrator Gaf f ron stated he just received a <br />survey verifying hardcover percentages, which are 25.6% in <br />the 0-75' and 25.6% in the 75-250' zone. <br />Mr. Finkelstein stated that he does not know exactly how much <br />square footage is needed for the back-up area until he <br />experiments with the area, including winter months. Mr. <br />Finkelstein does not want to relinquish any more hardcover <br />than necessary as a trade for the back-up area. Mr. <br />Finkelstein feels that the resolution should read that for <br />every square foot of hardcover place equal footage of <br />hardcover will be removed elsewhere. In addition, Mr. <br />Finkelstein understood that no more future hardcover will be <br />allowed. <br />Councilmember Grabek stated that the amount of allowances <br />should be made for specific reasons such as, in this case, the <br />safety of having a back-up area. <br />Mayor Butler stated the resolution should be amended to <br />specify 300 square footage for back-up area. It was also <br />decided upon that the resolution be amended to state that the <br />removal of existing hardcover should occur within the 0-75' <br />zcne. <br />It was moved by Councilmember Grabek, seconded by <br />Councilmember Adams, to approve Resolution #1813 as amended. <br />Motion, Ayes (5), Nays (0). <br />f 94 3 SUSA► PURDY <br />1945 PAGE1thESS POIi?T ROAD <br />VARIANCE <br />RIMIATION # 1914 <br />Susan and John Purdy were present for this matter. <br />City Administrator Bernhardson explained the applicant's <br />request for a variance to permit the construction of an <br />addition and a deck with hot tub. Additionally, applicants <br />have submitted a five year plan that includes another <br />addition to the house and an addition to the garage (garage <br />presently encroaches upon right-of-way). Bernhardson <br />stated that the applicant proposes, over the next f ive years, <br />a decrease of hardcover in the 0-75' from 24.3% to 13.9%, and <br />an increase in the 75-250' from 16.9• to 29.0%. <br />
