• <br />MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, November 8, 2004 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />(8. #04 -3054 JONAND GAIL BLACKSTONE, 4475 FOREST LAKE LANDING, <br />Continued) <br />Gaffron stated the shed would have to be physically attached to the foundation and part of the garage as <br />opposed to simply setting alongside it. <br />Gail Blackstone stated expanding the garage is a significant cost, noting the residence is being constructed <br />for her parents. <br />Sansevere inquired whether the shed could be relocated to the lot at 4465 Forest Lake Landing. <br />Gundlach indicated they would encounter hardcover issues if the shed were relocated to 4465. <br />Gail Blackstone stated the character of the neighborhood consists of the other residences having the front <br />of their homes facing the lake, with their back yards facing the street. Blackstone indicated this is the <br />only lot on the street that has the front of the house facing the street. <br />Peterson inquired whether there was any public comment concerning this application. <br />Teri Bloom noted she would be occupying the new residence. Bloom stated the lot is located on a steep <br />hill, which would hide the residence from the street. <br />Sansevere inquired whether that would constitute a hardship. Sansevere stated without a hardship, the <br />• City is not able to grant a variance. <br />Gail Blackstone inquired whether the shed could be grandfathered in. <br />Ll <br />McMillan stated once a lot is rebuilt, the accessory shed might need to be removed. <br />White suggested the applicants consider attaching the shed to the garage. <br />Gail Blackstone indicated she is not aware of the costs associated with that. <br />Sansevere inquired whether a foundation is required to have the two structures be considered attached. <br />Gaffron stated the two buildings have to be physically attached with a foundation so they do not move in <br />relation to each other and they have to be tied into each other so that rain cannot come down in between <br />the two buildings. <br />Sansevere inquired whether the applicants would like to have their application tabled to allow them time <br />to consider their options. <br />Gail Blackstone stated they would prefer to proceed forward with the application. Blackstone inquired <br />whether the shed could remain in place until the new residence is constructed. <br />Peterson inquired what the time frame is for the new residence. <br />Blackstone stated she believes it is to be completed by March. <br />PAGE 7 <br />
