E MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD APRIL 19, 1993 ZONING FILE #1818 — CONT. Mabusth noted total hardcover for the developed lot will be 16.6 %, with excesses in the 0 -75' and 250 -500' zones. Bellows suggested adjusting the lot line to eliminate the overage of hardcover. Gronberg noted that they are well under the maximum allowed in zones nearer the lake, and suggested by adjusting the lot line, the City would be encouraging the developer of the vacant parcel to build closer to the lake because of the reduced area in the 250- 500' zone. Bellows stated it would still be a 2 acre buildable lot. Gronberg indicated it appears they are being penalized for building the existing house further from the lake. Lund stated they are trying to keep a balance between the two lots • and to move the lot line to accommodate hardcover would be disruptive. Gabriel Jabbour suggested they consider the average lakeshore setback with respect to the properties. Johnson inquired about the history of the paved ramp to the lake. Lund stated it was originally installed for private access to the lake. He indicated the vacant lot has steeper terrain to the lake and expressed concern about access. Mabusth referred to the 20' wide sewer easement within the undeveloped lot which serves no purpose and suggested the vacation of such. Lund questioned whether the pad for the antenna located within the kennel structure could remain. Mabusth stated she would like to inspect the kennel area, and said it would have to be made clear to a future owner that it could not be used for an antenna structure without City approval. Johnson felt the ramp to the lake should be removed as it adds water and contaminants to the lake and is located within the 0- 75' zone. • Gronberg felt they would be creating an additional erosion problem if the ramp were removed as slopes in this area are 12 -15 %. 3
