� O <br /> � � <br /> � O <br /> ��, - CITY of ORONO <br /> � -ti <br /> ti <br /> RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> ���kE H04'�G NO. � � � � <br /> �S <br /> 3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on February 23, 2000 <br /> and on a vote of 4 to 0 recommended approval of a hardcover variance to allow <br /> hardcover on the property in the amount of 5,725 s.f., based upon the following <br /> findings: <br /> A. The property is located on a peninsula and has two 0-75' setback zones. <br /> It is not p�ssible to locate a driveway access to the property without <br /> replacing hardcover for the new driveway. <br /> B. Most vegetation on the site will be protected. One tree within the <br /> southerly 0-75' setback will be replaced by additional plantings to be <br /> located where the existing detached garage will be removed. <br /> C. Overall hazdcover on the site will be reduced based on the approved site <br /> plan. Total hardcover permitted on the site is 25% of the southern 0-75' <br /> lakeshore setback and the 75-250' setback. <br /> D. All hardcover and structure within the northern 0-75' setback will be <br /> removed. No new hardcover or structure is proposed to replace any <br /> removed in the lakeshore setback. � <br /> 4. The proposed grading in the southern 0-75' lakeshore setback is required for <br /> driveway access. The house plans have been modified to lower the garage to <br /> the walkout level requiring a slope of approximately 5% for the new driveway. <br /> Less grading is required, thus maintaining a minimal slope and protection of <br /> mature trees in the southern 0-75' setback. The first proposal showed a <br /> driveway slope of greater than 13%. Additional grading in the northerly 0-75' <br /> setback will permit filling in the foundation and restoring the hillside following <br /> removal of the existing cabin. Applicant will pull the 940' contour back to <br /> accommodate a walkout level. Total grading for the walkout in the northerly 0- <br /> 75' is 7.4 cubic yards. The grading is necessary as the property had been filled <br /> prior to the construction of the existing cabin and is artificially high. Pulling <br /> the 940' contour back will permit the lowest floor elevation to be dropped <br /> approximately 3'. <br /> Page 2 of 7 <br />
