/o To: Orono Council Members l.Uu 111936 Frosts Michael P. Gaffron, Assis Ant Planning 6 Zoning Administrator I`I?Y OF f>VIM Date: August 5,1986 Subject: 01051 Ronald Glesne, 1475 Cherry Place - Variance - Resolution This is a request for a lot area/lot width variance in order to declare a 0.64 acre lot buildable in a 1 acre zone. Lot width is 125' where 140' is normally required. Sewer is available. List of Exhibits Exhibit A - Designation Options of Front/Rear Lot Lines Exhibit E - Memo and Exhibits of 7/17/86 Exhibit C - Notice of Planning Commission Action Exhibit D - Planning Commission Minutes 7/21/86 Exhibit E - Resolution In reviewing this application, staff found that City Council minutes from 1971 indicate this property was to be assessed a sewer unit, since it was the fourth lot split off from a property that originally was only assessed 3 units. Although not specifically spelled out in the minutes, it is presumed that the $1,270 unit assessment was intended to be collected at the time a building permit was issued. We have searched City records and 'ind no receipt for the sewer assessment, and the applicant has contacted LLthur Alm, the original owner/subdivider, who has no records and does not recall paying the assessment. Staff recommends that the $1,270 sewer unit assessment be collected with the building permit. Additionally the standard $225 Sewer Trunk Unit Charge, 0e90 Park Fee, and $475 Sewer Availablity Charge (SAC) would be collected with the building permit. Hardcover on this lot will be limited to 30% or approximately 8,350 square feet. Planning Commission recommended approval 6-0 at their meeting of 7/21/86 per the 5 findings listed in the memo of 7/17/86. Discussion Itea The final question to be dealt with which was not specifically discussed during the Planning Commission review, is that while this technically is not a "through lot" because Cherry Place has been vacated, the probable location and orientation of the house will be towards vacated Cherry Place. The City and County would definitely prefer this, as it avoids an access onto County Road 151. The existing rear lot line at the east or Cherry Place end of the lot is actually just east of Gleans's fence, hence the 30' required setback would allow a house to be placed about 12' from the existing driveway/parking area. Staff recommends that, to be consistent with other house locations in the neighborhood, that a setback of 50' (or about 30' from the edge of the vacated road) be required.
