colp) 0.1V\ /O O , gy1CITY of ORONO ,/ RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL \kESHO�� NO. 474 ` 3. Planning Commission recommended approval by a vote of 5 to 1 to approve the variance to permit additional hardcover in the 75-250'lakeshore setback for a 7'deck extension and addition of the walkway to connect the lakeside deck to a small deck. Planning Commission made the following findings: A. The deck addition would be 3 '/2'out from the exterior wall of the house. The roof overhang extends approximately 3' from the house. Nearly the entire walkway would be covered with "hardcover" from the roof line. No hardcover is located below the walkway, thus the total overhead hardcover is virtually equal to the existing based on the walkway being located below the roof line. B. There is no deck to ground access from the existing lakeside deck, except through the house. The deck is approximately 10' above ground elevation. The walkway would connect to the side entrance and provide exterior access and an exit for the lakeside deck. Without the exterior access to the new walkway, safety is a concern. 4. Planning Commission also recommended approval of an after-the-fact variance to permit an existing garage to remain on the property located 7' from the property line where a 10'setback is required. Planning Commission recommendation is based on the following findings of fact: A. The lot is very narrow at the street. B. Relocating the shed further from the property line would move it too close to the existing driveway. C. The shed was located to be as far as possible from view to the adjacent property owner located at 4080 Dahl Road. The neighbor's house is located much further back on the property due to the unusual property dimensions of the two lots. If the shed were required to meet the required 10' setback, the shed would have to be moved further up the driveway and very close in proximity to the neighboring house. Page 2 of 5
