ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />MONDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 2004 <br />Murphy withdrew his motion. <br />• White moved, and Murphy seconded to deny the request for variances to Orono <br />Municipal Zoning Code Sections 78- 350(B), 78 -282, and 78 -1288 to allow <br />construction of a new residence, unless the applicant signs an extension of the <br />deadline to table the application before February 18, 2004. <br />Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />Mr. Switz stated that he wished staff had been more forthright at the Planning <br />Commission so that the application had not needed to go that far. <br />*6. #03 -2965 Scott Sennes of Sennes Design Build on behalf of Franz & Kersten <br />Jevne, 819 Brown Road North — Variances — Resolution No. 5111 <br />Murphy moved, and White seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 5111 granting <br />variances to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78 -420 Subdivision B to allow a <br />new residence to be constructed on a lot with substandard area and width, and a <br />variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78 -420 Subdivision B to allow a <br />side yard setback of 24' where 30' is required. <br />Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />7. #04 -2967 Sharon Rae Guimond, 2900 Watertown Road — Conditional Use Permit <br />• Resolution No. 5112 <br />Curtis stated that the applicant was requesting a CUP to construct a 1,500 s.f. accessory <br />structure on a through lot. The applicant also requested a variance to exceed the <br />maximum size allowed for a single accessory structure by 300 s.f. for the proposed pole <br />barn. <br />0 <br />A previously existing barn of approximately 2,600 s.f. and 25' high was destroyed by <br />arson. The applicant would use much of the existing foundation of the previous barn, but <br />would adjust the barn location to meet a 50' rear yard setback. <br />Staff found a hardship as the destruction of the existing barn was neither the applicant's <br />intent nor an act of God. <br />Mayor Peterson stated that she kept the application off the Consent Agenda because, <br />while the destruction of the old barn provided unusual circumstances, she felt strongly <br />about rebuilding to meet City requirements. <br />Murphy asked if they could rebuild exactly as the barn was before. Curtis stated that she <br />could not because over 75% of the barn had been destroyed. <br />PE <br />
