ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2001 • 7. #01 -2701 Mark & Cecilia Schulte, 3477 Livingston Avenue— Variance- Resolution No. 4688 —Continued Weinberger stated that the applicants requested a variance to permit construction of a 16' x 26' detached garage to be located 5' from a side property line where a 10' setback is required. They would remove an existing carport. They chose the location because it was the best situated for the garage. The Planning Commission and staff recommended approval. Nygard asked if the garage could have been located anywhere else to reduce hardcover through a shorter driveway. Weinberger stated that they require a 10' separation between buildings and the proposed location meets that standard. White moved, and Nygard seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 4688 granting variances to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.03, Subdivision 15(F) to permit a 5' side setback for an accessory building where a 10' setback is required. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. 8. #01 -2703 Orono Baseball Association, 1030 Old Crystal Bay Road — Conditional Use Permit — Resolution No. 4689 • Clarkson Lindley of 1588 Homestead Trail, Medina, a member of the Board of Directors of the Orono Baseball Association was present. Weinberger stated that the Orono Baseball Association had submitted an application for a conditional use permit requesting approval for construction of a third baseball field at the Lee Carlson Fields Complex. The new field would be larger than the existing two and intended for high school use. The piece of the property where the new field would be constructed is owned by the Orono School District and requires a CUP. The access road would lead to a 48 stall parking area and would include a turnaround with a 65' radius that meets all fire and safety requirements. Pedestrian access would include a sidewalk adjacent to the new parking area and provide access to a future trail extension along County Road 6, providing a link to the east. The trail connection would not be constructed by the Orono Baseball Association due to lack of funds. The easement for the trail would be obtained at this time for a future connection. There are no lights proposed for the field. It would only be used as a daytime playing area. The seating area would allow for 288 people at the new field, which is based on the 48 parking spaces. 0 4
