MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, February 8, 2016 7:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 23 of 32 11. #16-3803 STONEWOOD, LLC, ON BEHALF OF TASHITAA TUFAA, 1830 SHORELINE ROAD, VARIANCES AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (continued) McMillan asked if the Council is in agreement that there only be one curb cut. It was the consensus of the City Council that there be only one curb cut. McMillan stated the Council should perhaps discuss where the curb cut should be located. McMillan asked if the Council feels the driveway should be smaller. Mattick noted that the applicants meet the hardcover requirements and that perhaps the Council could look at that after they revise their plans. Walsh commented the driveway would likely be smaller simply as a result of one of the curb cuts being eliminated. McMillan asked how the Council feels about the fence. Printup, Walsh and McMillan agreed there does not appear to be a practical difficulty for the higher fence. Levang asked if there is one section that they would be allowed to have a 6-foot fence. Curtis indicated that is correct. Curtis stated a 6-foot fence would be allowed from the setback at the 50- foot setback up to the average setback line. McMillan stated it appears the majority of the City Council is in agreement that the fence should be limited to 42 inches in height. McMillan asked if the City Council is okay with the conditional use permit. Levang and Walsh indicated they are fine with the conditional use permit. McMillan asked if there will be any landscaping. Curtis stated if the Council would like to see the landscaping, they should specify that in the direction to the applicant. It was the consensus of the City Council that the applicants submit plans reflecting the landscaping they are proposing. McMillan stated the Council should next discuss the side setback variance. Walsh stated in his view the house should be redesigned and the side setback variance reduced. Walsh stated he does not believe a 20-foot variance is needed.
