MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, December 14, 2015 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />16. #15-3794 TIM AND MARY DOUBEK — 4565 BAYSIDE ROAD — VARIANCE — <br />RESOLUTION NO. 6579 (continued) <br />Bicker indicated they looked at alternative sites for the building but the majority of the site is wooded or <br />has steep topography. Bicker noted they would have to construct additional driveway if it was <br />constructed in a different spot and that this location makes the most sense. Bicker indicated they would <br />be okay with dressing it up some more if that is what the Council desires. <br />McMillan commented trees will die periodically and that she would ask for a couple of evergreens in the <br />front so it will be landscaped. <br />Bicker stated there are 30 -foot evergreen trees all around it. <br />Levang stated there are also some people on County Road. 6 that constructed a building and they added an <br />architectural feature at the Council's request. <br />Curtis stated they installed a window. <br />Levang stated it seems the applicant is amenable to some changes and that she would suggest they <br />perhaps add a cupola, shutters, or window boxes. <br />Curtis asked if she is looking for something on the street side. <br />Levang stated that would be fine. Levang asked which way the garage doors face. <br />Bicker indicated the garage doors face the driveway to the east. Side wall number one faces the road. <br />Bicker stated they could put some shutters on each side of the window and some planter boxes. <br />Mrs. Doubek stated she would also add a cupola. The structure has a brown roof and beige sides. <br />Bicker stated the colors are meant to have it blend in and not stand out. <br />Printup moved, Walsh seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 6579, a Resolution Granting a <br />Variance to Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1434(3) and 78-1435, with the requirement that <br />four shutters and a cupola on the street side of the building be incorporated into the building. <br />Cornick asked if landscaping would also be required. <br />McMillan stated there appears to be evergreen trees there already and that she would rather not add <br />landscaping into perpetuity. <br />VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />Page 34 of 44 <br />
