MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMNIISSION MEETING HELD ON OCTOBER 21, 1996 (#10 -2184 Brian Carrington -Continued) Smith asked if there was any historical significance to the house. Carrington said, although it was the Wolsfeld property, there is no significance noting the size as being that of a double garage. There were no public comments. Stoddard asked about the well . Carrington said it would be used for irrigation and would need a spigot only on the outside of the structure. A new well is being dug for the new residence . Smith moved, Hawn seconded, to approve the variance to convert the existing residence to a storage building to include heat for a workshop and maintain the current well for use as an irrigation system for outside yard use. The other plumbing fixtures are to be removed . McMillan asked if the neighbors were notified . Carrington said he spoke with the adjacent neighbor, who approves, and the City notified others in the neighborhood . Vote : Ayes 6 , Nays 0. (#11) #2185 RICHARD AND :MARY JO KOVACEVICH -1580 BORNS POINT ROAD -VARIANCE -PUBLIC HEARING-10:09-10:14 P.l.VI. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted . The Applicant was represented by Jim Jensen. Mabusth reported that the residence was built in 1987 along with the pool. At that time, · the open water area of the pool was not considered hardcover. It is now considered hardcover resulting in an excess of hardcover over the 25% allowable. Hardcover exists at 27.18%. The proposal results in no increase with the placement of improvements over existing structure. The 75 s.f. of additional hardcover will be matched with the removal of equal concrete area. Structural coverage is at 11.3%. There is no impact on the average lakeshore setback as there is no structure on the property to the east. Mabusth said there has been no response from the neighbors. Jensen said the 900 s.f. swimming pool will hold 9" of water during rainfalls. McMillan added that the pool cover would have to be removed for this to occur. He noted the 870 s.f. of excess hardcover or 2 .1 % in the 75-250' setback. The home is located 150' from the lakeshore . Jenson said there is good retention on the property and no net change in the hardcover. 19
