To: Orono Council Members From: Michael P. Gaffron, Assistant Zoning Administrator Date: December 5, 1984 Subject: #881, Krutzig Custom Homes, Inc., 1629 Bohns Point Road Variance Zoning District - LR-lB - 1 acre sewered Application - Hardcover variance List of Exhibits: Exhibit A - Application Exhibit. B - Plat Map Exhibit C - Property Owners List Exhibit D - Survey Exhibit E - Hardcover Calculations Exhibit F - Planning Commission Minutes of 11/19/84 Applicant is constructing a new residence on this 0.86 acre sewered lot. The original building permit application included decks on the lake side, additional hardcover in the courtyard, and a standard driveway with apron. At the request of the applicant, the decks and courtyard improvements were excluded and the driveway was proposed to be constructed of a porous pavement in order to meet hardcover requirements if variances were denied. The proposed house and location met all code requirements and permit was subsequently issued based on the above proposal, with a hardcover variance application immediately filed. Please review the survey and the hardcover calculations. Applicant's rationale for requesting the variance is that a large portion of the lot is in the 250' - 500' zone and wi 1 1 have no hardcover where 30% is allowed, hence the total requested hardcover behind the 75' setback line will be less than the maximum allowed. This is essentially a tradeoff between hardcover in the 75' - 250' and 250' - 500' zones. Note that this type of a tradeof f has not hen granted in the past for new construction; only in cases where there was an existing hardcover problem. Note that the house and proposed decks are located more than 75' from the shoreline and behind the 931.5' elevation line, below which no filling or grading is allowed. The entire property would be allowed 7,257 s.f. of hardcover at maximum development.
