MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> Wednesday,January 17, 2001 <br /> (#3) #2658 TIM AND AMY LANDON, 1360 VINE PLACE, VARIANCES, <br /> 6:40 p.m.—6:43 p.m. <br /> Tim and Amy Landon, Applicants, were present. <br /> The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. <br /> Bottenberg stated the Applicants are requesting a lot width variance and an accessory <br /> building variance to construct a new residence on the lot. The existing residence that was <br /> built in 1950 was removed per a demolition permit issued in December of 2000. A lot width <br /> variance is required due to the lot being 90 feet wide where 140 feet is required in the LR-1B <br /> zoning district. <br /> Bottenberg stated an accessory building variance is required because Orono's Zoning Code does <br /> not permit an accessory building on property without a principal structure. Currently there is an <br /> existing accessory building located on the property without a primary structure. A variance was <br /> granted in 1976 to allow the oversized accessory building to be constructed on the property. The <br /> Applicants plan to construct a new residence on the property with the accessory building remaining. <br /> City Staff recommends approval of the variances. <br /> Landon stated he would like to keep the accessory structure since it is in excellent shape. Landon <br /> stated his hardcover is below the maximum allowed, with the house being located far enough from <br /> the lakeshore. Landon stated to his knowledge his neighbors are not opposed to this project. <br /> Bellows commented the Applicant's lot width of 90 feet appears to be consistent with some of the <br /> other lots in the area. <br /> Landon stated the lot widths in this area range between 50 feet to 100 feet. <br /> There were no public comments regarding this application. <br /> Mabusth moved, Berg seconded,to recommend approval of Application#2658, <br /> Tim and Amy Landon, 1360 Vine Place, granting of a lot width variance and an <br /> accessory building variance to allow construction of a new residence on the lot, <br /> with the understanding the new residence will meet all setback, hardcover and <br /> structural coverage requirements for the property. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br /> (#4) #2631 ZONING CODE AMENDMENT, ORONO MUNICIPAL ZONING CODE, <br /> PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL (P.R.U.D),6:44 p.m.—6:54 p.m. <br /> The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. <br /> Gaffron stated this is the fifth draft of the zoning code amendment, with the Planning Commission <br /> having reviewed various drafts of the amendment at their meetings since October.
