ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> Monday,May 15,2000 <br /> • (#2580 Timothy Pattrin, Continued) <br /> Bottenberg stated the Applicants are proposing to construct a 624 square foot attached garage <br /> addition to the north side of the existing residence. The property is located on the corner of <br /> Railroad Avenue and Spates Avenue, with the existing driveway being utilized to provide access to <br /> the proposed garage. <br /> A variance to the street side yard setback is required to permit a side yard setback of 23 feet where <br /> 50 feet is required. The proposed garage will be located 23 feet from Spates Avenue, which is not <br /> a heavily traveled street. <br /> Bottenberg stated the existing garage will be remodeled into a master bedroom/bath, laundry room <br /> and a quarter bath. The property is serviced with a well, which is located on the east side of the <br /> residence. The garage will result in an increase of structural coverage on the lot to 9.76 percent <br /> where 6.94 exists and 15 percent is allowed, which is well below what is allowed. The garage will <br /> also result in an increase of overall hardcover coverage to 29.9 percent where 23.7 percent exists <br /> and 35 percent is allowed, which is also below what is allowed. <br /> City Staff is recommending approval of the street side yard setback. <br /> Pattrin indicated he has no comments regarding his application. <br /> There were no public comments relating to this application. <br /> Lindquist moved, Nygard seconded, to recommend approval of Application#2580, <br /> • 1360 Railroad Avenue, granting of a variance to street side yard setback for property <br /> located at 1360 Railroad Avenue.
