MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD JUHE 23, 1986 <br />#1022 CHARLES A. SCHALL CONT. <br />Mr. McKinnon stated that the Rudd's are not opposed to <br />the garage addition but are opposed to the extra <br />addition above the garage which creates a tunnel and <br />massing effect upon his client's residence in addition <br />to obstructing their sunlight. He stated that this area <br />an already crowded area and feels that in this day and <br />age the need for a two car garage is a valid hardship <br />however there is no justification for a bedroom above <br />the garage. He stated there is no legitimate harship <br />for the bedroom above and that this is actually two <br />variance requests. <br />Mayor Butler stated that she has been to the property <br />and felt that obstruction of sunlight upon Rudd's deck <br />would be very minimal. She stated that she felt having <br />a 1 bedroom house was a hardship. <br />Councilmember Adams complimented t'a Schall's for <br />presenting the entire picture to the Council. He felt <br />that the addition above the garage will indeed change <br />the environment. <br />Marty Bethke stated that they are only proposing a <br />story -and -a -half not a full second story. <br />City Attorney Blatz stated that this is not two <br />variances, as stated by Attorney McKinnon, it is one <br />variance request to build within the setback. She noted <br />that the Council must make findings on what the height <br />should be if in fact the addition obstructs sunlight. <br />Mr. Schall submitted some photos to indicate light and <br />shade areas. He also noted that the building code does <br />not allow him to put a second bedroom in their basement. <br />Councilmember Frahm stated that he felt Rudd's concerns <br />were valid and the addition would impact their deck use. <br />He stated that there may be alternatives for adding a <br />second bedroom such as a dormer. He stated that he <br />would approve the garage only. <br />Councilmember Grabek stated the issue was only and <br />additional 61, and felt that the garage addition <br />(which the Rudd's do not object to) would alone create a <br />closed -in effect. <br />City Administrator Bernhardson noted that a second story <br />could be added to provide the bedroom with a maximum <br />height of <br />6 <br />
