To: From: Date: Orono Planning Commission Members Ron Moorse, City Administrator Jeanne A. Mabusth, Building & Zoning Administrator July 8, 1993 Subject: #1839 Robert H. Owens, 1700 Bohn's Point Road Variance -Resolution Zoning District: LR-lB Total area = 33,010 s.f. or .76 acres The applicant seeks approval of a hardcover variance within the 75-250' setback area for proposed additions to the existing residence that will result in an overall reduction of hardcover within the setback area. Please review Exhibits Hand I. The improvements consist of a third stall to the existing attached garage, a 52.6 s.f. expansion of the kitchen and a 23 s.f. step leading from new main level patio doors. On June 28th, Council completed the review of the conditional use permit part of the comprehensive application dealing with the repair of the lakeshore bank. Hardcover within the 0-75' was finalized as follows: 0-75' setback area = 10,800 s.f. Existing = 804 s.f. or 7.44% Proposed = 888.6 s.f. or 8.2% At the Planning Commission meeting staff was asked to inspect a catch basin/ drainage facility in the street yard of the subject property. The Building Official met with the applicant and found that the catch basin drained via underground tile along the north side of the house to the lakeshore yard into a drainfield area with no outlet to the surface. The facility appeared to be functioning without any problem. Staff can confirm that the drainage received from the bituminous parking area in the street yard does not drain directly into the lake. Hardcover improvements are proposed at 32.3% where existing hardcover improvements are at 32.9%. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the variance application as proposed by applicant subject to hardcover removals as shown on improvement site plan (Exhibit H). The enclosed approval resolution has been drafted per the findings and conditions of the recommendation of the Planning Commission. lsv
