ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />MONDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 2003 <br />*7. #02-2861 Erik Thompson, 1940 Concordia Street-Variances-Resolution <br />No. 4926-Continued <br />where 30' is required in the LR-lC zooning district and to permit 2,840 s.f. (17.9%) <br />of structural lot coverage where 2,371 s.f. (15%) is allowed. <br />Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />*8. #02-2862 Steven Gronwall, 1586 Long Lake Boulevard-Variances-Resolution <br />No. 4927 <br />Murphy moved, and Sansevere seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 4927 a variance to <br />· Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.23, Subdivision 6(B) to allow construction of a <br />new attached garage with a second story to the existing house to be 4.5' from the rear <br />lot line where 50' is required, 14' from the side yard adjacent street lot line where <br />50' is required in the LR-lA zoning district and to allow 2,313 s.f. (35.34%) <br />hardcover in the 250-500' setback zone where 1,963.5 s.f. (30%) is allowed. <br />Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />9. #02-2863 Richard Kail, 3753 Casco Avenue--Variances <br />White stated he removed it from the Consent Agenda because he wondered if the house <br />could be moved further south to reduce structural coverage. <br />Bottenberg stated that it could not. Structural coverage is a total site figure, so he'd be <br />over the allowed coverage no matter where the house is positioned on the lot. <br />White stated that the lot was the worst one on Casco Point. He stated there are City- <br />owned lots adjacent to the Kail's that are used for dumping garbage. White suggested <br />allowing the Kail's to buy one of the lots and clean it up, increasing their lot size to allow <br />a larger structure on the site. He also stated that the alley next to the lot would never be <br />used as a road, but the Kail's couldn't count it in their lot size, giving them a <br />disadvantage .. <br />Kail stated that he could not reduce the size of his house without totally redesigning it. <br />The alley is his only hardship. <br />Mayor Peterson stated that he has a substandard lot with a larger house. Kail responded <br />that his house is 1,999 s.f. without the garage. The garage brings the house to 2,856 s.f. <br />Murphy stated that the best solution would be to sell him the adjacent lot to the south. <br />Bottenberg stated that the Planning Commission discussed the alley, and decided that the <br />City would not be likely to vacate it. Barrett added that Kail therefore requires a variance. <br />4
