MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />October 23, 2000 <br />(#14 Willmar Thorkelson, Continued) <br />Waldron stated the person who built the shed didn't realize he was encroaching into the setback, <br />with relocation of the shed causing more damage to the environment due to the removal of some <br />large trees and the need to utilize big equipment. Waldon stated the roadway is basically a <br />t\vo-track path through the woods, and requested that the shed remain in its present location. <br />Mayor Jabbour stated it was his understanding the Planning Commission had asked the occupation <br />of the person who constructed the shed and had arrived at the conclusion that he was a contractor, <br />which is incorrect. Jabbour stated the person is not a contractor. <br />Waldron stated that is correct. <br />Mayor Jabbour stated although he is the adjacent property O\vner, he does not know the <br />Applicants personally and will be voting on this application tonight. <br />City Attorney Barrett stated in his view there does not appear to be a conflict. <br />Jabbour commented he would like to encourage the residents of Big Island to come before the City <br />Council with all non-conforming issues. <br />Flint inquired what type of precedent the City would establish if this application were approved. <br />City Attorney Barrett stated since this roadway is not considered to be a standard roadway and <br />due to the topography of the land, location of the shed is limited, that in his view it would not set <br />a negative precedent. <br />Mayor Jabbour stated the hardship that exists is the topography and the wetlands that exist on the <br />property. <br />Flint moved, Sansevere seconded, to direct City Staff to draft a resolution for adoption <br />at the November 13, 2000 City Council meeting based on the hardship that exists. <br />VOTE: Ayes 3, Nays O. <br />"'(#15) #2629 KEITH NORD, 1245 LAKEVIEW A VENUE, VARIANCES-:-- <br />RESOL UTION NO. 4551 <br />Flint moved, Sansevere seconded, to approve the adopt RESOLUTION NO. 4551, a <br />Resolution granting a variance to permit a 16' by 24.5' residential addition to the <br />existing house located at 1245 Lakeview Avenue.
