TO James Grabek, Mayor Mark E. Bernhardson, City Administrator Orono Council Members Orono Planning Commission Members FROM: Michael P. Gaffron, Asst Planning h Zoning Administrator DATE: March 13, 1987 SUBJECT: #1106 R.F. Potas, 2190 Shadywood Road - Variance - Second Review This item was tabled at Planning Commission's February meeting to allow applicant to consider revisions to the proposal. LIST OF EXHIBITS Exhibit A - Memo and Exhibits oft-12-87 Exhibit B - Notice of Planning Commission Action 2-19-87 DISCUSSION Staff viewed the site with applicant on 3-2-87 and noted the following: a) The existing house is 15'2" from the fence, which is inside the lot line. The extension of the house will not encroach on the required 10' setback. No side setback variance is necessary. The survey is not drawn correctly. b) The drainage swale at the side of the applicant's residence is apprcpriate and should be maintained, but does not appear to be a problem for either property. C) Applicant proposes to remove a tot, 1 of 900 s.f. of existing rock -with -plastic hardcover, for a final 75'-250' hardcover reduction to 45.4% from 46.7% existing. (See Exhibit F). A reduction in the 250'-500' zone from 42% to 32% is also suggested by the applicant. D) Staff notes the existence of a drainage manhole in the driveway which accepts a portion of the driveway runoff into a 55 gallon drum "french drain", hence reducing the impact of hardcover on the property by collecting a portion of the runoff and letting it soak into the ground. E) Average setback encroachment. Applicant feels that a reduction in size or a change in location of the proposed addition will not serve his purpose and intent for the addition. He is su.agestinq that the neighbor to the south has trees which already have the effect of providing a visual harrier, hence no substantial lake views currently enjoyed t:y the nevighY,or wi l l he significantly impacted.
