TO: Chair Lindquist and Orono Planning Commission Members <br />Ron Moorse, City Administrator <br />FROM: Michael P. Gaffron, Senior Planning Coordinator <br />DATE: October 16, 1997 <br />SUBJECT: #2300 James and Joann Jundt, 1400 Bracketts Point Road -Renewal Variance - <br />Public Hearing <br />Zoning District: LR-IA, Single Family Lakeshore Residential, 2 acre, sewered. <br />Application: Request for renewal of setback and hardcover variances granted in October 1996 for <br />restoration of an existing retaining wall, underground grotto and lakeshore stairway system located <br />within 75' of the lakeshore. <br />List of Exhibits <br />A -Application <br />B -Plat Map <br />C -Property Owners List <br />D -Survey <br />E -Resolution #3 786 <br />F -Memo and Selected Exhibits from Prior Approval <br />Summary of Request <br />Please review the exhibits from the 1996 approval. The applicant was unable to complete this <br />project this year partially due to sewer installation on Bracketts Point which has negatively impacted <br />access to the site. The project involves restoration and repair of an existing retaining wall adjacent <br />to an underground 'grotto', restoration of the grotto, and repairs to two lakeshore stairway systems <br />located within the 0-75' lakeshore setback zone. <br />On the application form applicant also mentions repairs to the boathouse, however this came in as <br />a renewal application and the boathouse was specifically not included in the prior approval. The <br />wording of the current application request is identical to that of the prior request, and apparently was <br />just transferred from the prior application. The prior approval resolution noted that "structural <br />restoration of the existing boathouse is specifically not a part of this approval, and structural repairs <br />to that building shall be reviewed by the Inspections Department and if determined to require a <br />variance, shall be brought forth to the Planning Commission and City Council as a separate <br />application". This review should be treated as a simple renewal of the approval granted in <br />Resolution #3786 in October 1996, not involving the boathouse.
