MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, November 26, 2007 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />(#07-3323 Structures Unlimited On Behalf of Judson and Aleya, Continued) <br />McMillan commented the size of the addition is up for discussion. <br />Champlin stated he grew up in a cabin and he would like his kids to be able to experience living in a <br />cabin. Champlin stated he knew the existing cabin had a number of issues that would have to be <br />addressed, with the building basically deteriorating and needing replacement. The septic was faihng <br />and required immediate replacement, which resulted in the removal of a large number of trees. <br />Champlin indicated that rather than removing even further trees, they looked at designing something in <br />the present location and yet provide some additional room for their family. <br />White asked if the City has a massing regulation for the 0-75 foot zone. White noted they are under the <br />structural coverage limit on the lot. <br />Gaffron stated the ordinance limits ~tructures in the 0-75 foot zone and that whatever has been granted <br />in the past is outside what is currently allowed by the Code. <br />McMillan commented typically the Council attempts to limit the amount of hardcover to a bare <br />minimum in the 0-7 5 foot zone and typically does not allow an increase in the hardcover in that zone. <br />Murphy stated page three of five in the Planner's Report shows that the existing building consists of <br />1,175 square feet or whether that includes the shed and some other small structures. <br />Turner stated that number includes the shed and the deck. The actual living space is 702 square feet. <br />The shed is close to 90 square feet. The difference between the actual and the proposed is the addition <br />to the structure, which consists of 260 square feet. The shed would be relocated out of the 0-75 foot <br />zone. <br />Murphy stated the hardcover in the 75-250 foot zone is not an issue. <br />Rahn stated the only issue is basically the close proximity to the lake. <br />McMillan stated the applicants could rebuild what is there. <br />PAGE 15 of 32
