MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLAN1vING COMNIISSION <br /> Monday,August 21,2006 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#06-3223 Michael and Stachia Fey, Continued) <br /> l. A lot area variance to allow.34 acre when two acres is required; <br /> 2. A lot width variance to allow 102 feet when 200 feet is required; <br /> 3. A rear setback variance to allow 30 feet when 50 feet is required; <br /> 4 A 22-foot setback variance from the east property line when a 30-foot setback is required; <br /> 5. A 21-foot setback from the west side property line when a 30-foot setback is required; <br /> 6. A 36.6 percent hardcover in the 250 to 500 foot zone when the maximum is 30 percent. <br /> The applicants have reduced the size of the proposed house to meet the 15 percent structural coverage <br /> limit and have narrowed the driveway. By shifting the house closer to the street,the hardcover variance <br /> could be eliminated. In addition,Long Lake Boulevard drains to catch basins that drain to the lake. In <br /> Staff's opinion it would be more beneficial to detain the driveway runoff on-site rather than shifting <br /> hardcover into the 75-250 foot zone. <br /> Planning Staff recommends approval of the variances subject to a 28 square foot reduction in hardcover <br /> and the driveway runoff being diverted into a rain garden or otherwise detained on-site. . <br /> Mr.Fey inquired whether the 28-foot reduction could be done on the backup pad. <br /> Turner stated that would take care of the issue with the hardcover. <br /> Mrs.Fey inquired whether the house could be moved forward to help address the hardcover issue. <br /> Turner stated if the house were moved forward,the driveway would be reduced. <br /> Bremer pointed out that relocating the house forward would impact the front setback but would lessen the <br /> driveway hardcover. <br /> Mrs.Fey inquired where the rain garden would be. <br /> Turner recommended the applicants consider a swale area near the road,which could simply be a <br /> depressed area in the grass or a rain garden. <br /> Bremer inquired whether the City Engineer has reviewed this and is recommending the rain garden. <br /> Turner indicated she has made that recommendation. <br /> .Mrs.Fey indicated the location of the new driveway is in basically the same position as the current <br /> driveway. <br /> PAGE 13 <br />
