, � � � ' � O ' V --- � O O ��b� � CITY of ORONO � � ti �� p'�' RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL - �kESHOg' NO. e� � "1 � A. The gazebo was constructed by a prior owner of the property, Rolla Martin, some time prior to 1990, without a permit and in violation of the hardcover and structure-to-structure setback ordinances. B. In 1990 Mr. Martin submitted an application for a hardcover variance to construct an addition to the existing residence. During the preliminary ' staff review of that application, it was determined that the gazebo construction had occurred and hardcover on the property was in excess of that allowed by previous variance in 1986. Mr. Martin withdrew the � • 1990 application prior to its review by the Planning Corrunission because he was intending to sell the house, and therefore the issue of the gazebo and excess hardcover was never resolved. C. Mr. Downey was unaware of the unresolved hardcover/setback issues • when he purchased the properly and did not become aware of that issue until Mr. Hegenes inquired of City staff whether there were any irregularities on the property. Staff had previously flagged the file and indicated that no permits should be issued until the unresolved issues were taken care of. D. The owner, Mr. Hegenes, has agreed to the removal of 1,488 s.f. of . hardcover including areas of rock and plastic and a gravel parking area. . The removal of said hardcover will bring the property from its current 75-250' hardcover level of 29.5%, down to below the 25% 75-250' hardcover allowance. E. Mr. Hegenes also proposes to reconf'igure existing decks on the property which will result in a 35 s.f. hardcover increase, resulting in a final 75- 250' hardcover of 6,752 s.f. or 24.3%, therefore requiring no hardcover variance. • Page 2 of 6 "
