MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, February 28, 2005 7:00 o'clock p.m. (11.#05-3084 JAMES AND PATAXIA OLSON, 4360 BAYSIDE ROAD, Continued) Gaffron noted that staff found enough hardship to allow them to remain at 77', as opposed to the increased 72'. Olson reiterated that, due to the placement of the septic, drainage, slope of the land, and trees, they could not come up with a better solution or design. Mrs. Olson interjected that they had hoped to add some architectural interest to a 60's rambler. While he wished Council could give the applicant exactly what he wanted, Sansevere was hesitant to set new precedent without hardship and not being consistent. Attorney Barrett stated that he had not heard formal hardship which would warrant an additional 5'. Since building a detached garage elsewhere on the site would cost them valuable pasture land for their horses, Olson asked whether the Council would consider allowing them to continue across the front line of their foundation rather than setting it back from the current straight line. White stated that he was willing to extend the footprint of the foundation in keeping the look of the house. He felt this would be consistent with the design of the home to allow the applicant an additional 2'. • White moved, McMillan seconded, to deny the original variance request, but to adopt • RESOLUTION NO. 5288 with revisions that would permit a variance for the continuation of the current front foundation line for construction of the proposed garage addition for 4360 Bayside Road.
