ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />MINUTES FOR OCTOBER 12, 1998 <br />(#5) #2418 ROBERT LUND, 1655 BORN'S POINT ROAD -CONTINUED <br />space on the second floor, _and an observation deck above that. The proposed tower protrudes higher <br />than the existing structure, therefore, the average lakeshore setback variance is required. <br />Mayor Jabbour commented that it looks as if the house has been moved further away from the lake. <br />Lund stated the house is about 500 square feet smaller than the original plan approved by Council. <br />Weinberger stated the current proposal shows the gazebo as originally approved in 1997. The gazebo <br />was removed before the building permit was issued. The property owners have proposed to construct <br />a swimming pool on the west end of the property where the storms have knocked down trees in the same <br />location as the gazebo was originally approved. Weinberger added that the turning radius of the <br />driveway was reviewed by staff, and it was determined that the amount of driveway proposed is adequate <br />to tum any passenger vehicle or passenger truck. <br />Moved by Peterson, seconded by Mayor Jabbour, to reconsidered application #2418. VOTE: Ayes <br />5, Nays 0. <br />Mayor Jabbour found the additional height on the building objectionable. <br />Goetten asked to review the original hardcover approved verses what is being proposed with the current <br />changes. <br />Weinberger reported the current proposed square footage for the house and attached garage is 5,922 s.f. <br />The original amount approved by the Council for the house and garage is 6,484 s.f. <br />Moved by Kelley, seconded by Goetten, to continue this matter until later in the meeting to enable <br />staff time to gather hardcover information. <br />Weinberger reported back to Council a breakdown of the hardcover for each of the proposed and <br />previously existing conditions on the properties. The total amount of hardcover Lund has requested is <br />11,605 s.f (26.7%). The Council previously approved 11,603.5 s.f. (26.7%). <br />Peterson questioned the 30' high tower and what the structure is located on the north side of the house. <br />Lund replied that it is a light tower that allows light in to that side of the house with no access to it. <br />Mayor Jabbour opposed the 30' high tower from the lake view. <br />Page4
