MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, February 8, 2016 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />6. #15-3792 JOHN AND BEN KIEFFER, 2024 SHADYWOOD ROAD - VARIANCES - <br />RESOLUI'ION NO. 6581 (continued) <br />Walsh stated he would be willing to make a motion allowing the pavers. <br />Levang moved, Printup seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 6582, a Resolution Approving <br />Variances from Municipal Code Sections 78-1279 and 78-1438, and Denying a Variance from <br />Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1438. <br />Printup noted he was not in attendance at the last City Council meeting but that he did watch the video <br />afterwards. Printup asked what the importance of protecting that 0-75 foot area is. <br />Curtis stated Orono's Code protects the 0-75 foot area from an aesthetic perspective as well as allowing <br />for more surface infiltration prior to the runoff going into the lake. <br />Printup stated taking a strict stance on the code is important, but that the pavers are less impactful than the <br />stairs. Printup stated in his view common sense should have prevailed on that. <br />McMillan stated generally the City allows for access to the lake as well as a lock box. McMillan stated <br />the area where the stepping stones are being proposed for is flat and that stairs are not really necessarily, <br />which was her rational for not allowing the pavers. McMillan noted there is not a dock on this property <br />and that they could technically walk down the hill without the stairs. <br />Printup stated stairs would increase the hardcover in that area. <br />McMillan stated there are two sets of stairs and there does not appear to be a need for the hardcover in the <br />flat area. <br />Walsh noted there is a slight contour in that area. <br />Curtis stated the applicants would be allowed to do up to 75 cubic feet of grading in that area without <br />Council approval. <br />Walsh stated he would simply like more information in the future when Staff recommends denial. <br />VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />*8. #16-3798 MICHAEL AND HOLLY RUCINSKI, 3188 NORTH SHORE DRIVE - <br />VARIANCES - RESOLUTION NO. 6583 <br />Levang moved, Printed seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 6583, a Resolution Approving a <br />Variance from Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1435, for the property located at 3188 North <br />Shore Drive.
