MINUTES OF TI� <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> Monday,November 20,2006 <br /> � 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#06-3234�SSBURG,CONTINUED) <br /> • The applicant is requesting a lot line rearrangement and variances. The lot line rearrangement will create <br /> two lots from the three existing lots,resulting in one lot being 60 feet wide, 11,552 square feet in area, <br /> and another lot 85 feet wide, 13,926 square feet in area where 140 feet in width and 43,560 square feet is <br /> required. In addition to lot area and width variances,variances currently being requested for the eastern <br /> lot are as follows: One,rear yard setback variance for a 20-foot setback where 30 feet is required; and <br /> two, 34.5 percent hardcover within the 75'-250' zone where 25 percent is required. On the westerri lot, <br /> the applicant is requesting a bluff setback variance for 24 feet where 30 feet is normally required, a 303 <br /> percent hardcover variance where 25 percent is normally required; and a side street setback variance for <br /> 13 feet where 35 feet is normally required. <br /> The applicant's engineer has attempted to re-evaluate the driveway,but the driveway continues to remain <br /> considerably steeper than what the City Engineer is comfortable with. While Staff and the City Erigineer <br /> feel that the steepness of the driveway and access onto North Shore Drive is a concern,the Planning <br /> Commission should discuss whether or not it is within the scope of this application. The properties <br /> currently have a large,flat shared"parking lot"on the edge of North Shore Drive. The applicant is <br /> proposing to construct a shared driveway accessing attached garages at the proposed residences. The <br /> applicant has evaluated this situation and feels that it is the appropriate option for the site. Staff would <br /> recommend that the applicant heat the driveway and possibly offer some sort of wall-like structure at the <br /> bottom of the driveway to prevent driving off and into the lake. <br /> The applicant has revised the homes to meet the City's height ordinance and has redesigned the home on ' <br /> the western lot line to allow for a greater parking apron outside the garage in response to the Planning <br /> Commission's concerns. In addition,the applicant has reduced the hardcover on the easterly lot from 41 <br /> percent proposed to 34.5 percent by changing the footprint orientation of the home and reducing the <br /> driveway hardcover. <br /> If the Planning Commission concludes that approval of the application is appropriate, Staff would <br /> recommend that it be conditioned on the applicant complying with the City Engineer's requirements,the <br /> driveway being revised to meet City Engineer approval, and subject to easements for the shared driveway <br /> and shared tramway. <br /> Hessburg stated they relocated the driveway on the western lot and reduced the hardcover on Parcel B <br /> from 49 to 41 percent. Hessburg indicated he would not be opposed to constructing a barrier at the end of <br /> the driveway to prevent cars from sliding out onto the lake and also heat the driveway. Hessburg stated a <br /> backup generator would also be installed for each property. <br /> Kempf inquired what the applicant had in mind for a barrier. <br /> Hessburg indicated they would incorporate some steel retention in the concrete driveway and the curb. <br /> Rahn inquired whether each residence would have an individual stairway to the lake. � <br /> Hessburg stated both properties would share a three-foot welded staircase on one side and the tram on the <br /> other,which would be less invasive to the bank than an in-ground staircase would be. <br /> PAGE 4 � <br />
