MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, December 14, 2015 6:30 o'clock p.m. 14. #15-3789 THE BROADWAY GROUP, LLC, 3590 NORTH SHORE DRIVE — VARIANCES — PUBLIC HEARING — RESOLUTION NO. 6570 Gaffron stated the applicant's initial request was for variances for front (street) and side yard setbacks in order to reconstruct the home on the same footprint, plus a minor expansion lakeward and addition of a deck. Upon submittal of an updated and corrected survey, it was determined that a lakeshore setback and an average lakeshore setback are also required. The City Council, on November 23, suggested a further revision of the deck location to reduce possible impacts to neighbor's views. A revised plan has been submitted. The applicants are proposing a 20 -foot encroachment into the average lakeshore setback up by the house as well as a 2 -foot encroachment of the house addition and a 10 -foot encroachment of the deck addition into the average lakeshore setback. The existing and proposed house are located 49 feet from the lake where a 75 -foot setback is required. The house addition is 73 feet from the lake where 75 feet is required. The proposed deck is now 59 feet from the closest portion of the lake. The structural coverage has been modified so that it remains under the 15 percent limit. The proposed hardcover is under the 25 percent limit. A hearing notice has been published and mailed for the average and lakeshore setback variances. Planning Staff recommends approval of the side and street setback variances as well as the lakeshore and average lakeshore setback variances.
