The Munsons reside at 3165 North Shore Drive in Orono. As you <br /> know, the Munsons seek to construct a new single family residence in this LR-1 B zoning <br /> district using the foundation for the existing residence. The application came before the <br /> Planning Commission for public hearing on January 17, 2006. At that time, the only <br /> objection to the proposed variance was voiced by Morrie Wagener, the applicants' <br /> immediate neighbor to the south. The Munsons' application was tabled to give the <br /> applicants more time to address sight line concerns raised by Mr. Wagener. <br /> Originally the Munsons submitted a proposal for the design of a stately,three-story <br /> residence in keeping with the rather substantial residences in the neighborhood. In <br /> response to Mr. Wagner's sight line concerns, the Munsons totally redesigned their new <br /> residence as a two-level home with a flat roof. Since the public hearing last month, the <br /> Munsans' architect has further revised the design ofthe proposed residence to reduce the <br /> height of the residence even more. <br /> The Munsons have attempted to meet with Mr. Wagener and/or his attorney, but <br /> neither Mr. Wagener nor his attorney has been willing ta meet. The Munsons and I also <br /> have requested access to Mr. Wagener's property to try to understand Mr. Wagener's <br /> concerns, but our requests for access have not been granted. <br /> As noted in the Minutes of the Planning C�mmission's meeting on January 17, <br /> 2006, the Munsons average lakeshore setback variance request is necessitated by the <br />
