HINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD MAY 11, 1987 <br />#1119 MACMILLAN <br />CONTINUED <br />Mayor Grabek expressed concern with restrictions to <br />alleviate the possibilty of a future subdivision being <br />this is a 13+ acre parcel in a 2 acre zone. <br />Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaff ron noted that the <br />applicant's proposed covenant states if the property <br />were ever sold or subdivided the recreational facility <br />would remain with the main residence, however it does <br />not state that the property would never be subdivided. <br />Mr. Andrews stated he has submitted a proposed covenant <br />to the City Attorney for her review but to date has not <br />received a response. <br />Mayor Grabek stated that he felt the proposal was <br />compatible to this piece of property and that it would <br />riot upset the environment and natural state, taking into <br />consideration that this property could be developed into <br />7 two acre homes sites. <br />City Administrn.tor Bernhardson stated that the nature of <br />the structure mr.y ble A very well with this 13.5 acre <br />parcel and with the appropriate screening and private <br />covenants may be an acceptable product. However, the <br />problem lies with any similar application on a .3-4 a, -re <br />parcel where the applicant is willing to provide the <br />same type of screening measures with equivalent <br />hardships, the City may be hardpressed to deny a <br />variance. Therefore, staff suggests doing an ordinance <br />amendment which would scale the size of -the accessory <br />structure over 1000 s.f. to the size of the property and <br />sei.backs etc. Staff recommends this amendment procedure <br />prior to approval of this application, which may delay <br />approval of this plication until late June/early July. <br />Mr. McNulty stated that this project would take <br />appzoximately 5-6 months and they wanted it ready by <br />winter.. <br />Mayor Grabek questioned if there was some 4:ay to <br />accomodate the applicant yet protect the City? <br />City Attorney Barrett felt that either the variance <br />would have to be grantee' or table for the amendment, <br />anything in the interim or temporary would not be <br />appropriate. <br />Mayor Grabek noted that this application started in <br />March and a great deal of work has been involved in <br />finalizing it. to thf- City's satisfaction, which in <br />fairness should not he delayed further. <br />H <br />
