MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, December 11, 2006 7:00 o'clock p.m. • (10. #06 -3189 TERRYAND SUZANNE JOHNSON; 543 PARKLANE, Continued) depicted on their original plans but was inadvertently omitted from the survey. The neighbors have reviewed the plans with the bump -out and they have not indicated any opposition to it. Sansevere inquired whether there would be any precedent set if this was approved. Gaffron stated in his opinion there would not be a precedent set since the bump -out is very minor. The City's code does allow an encroachment of this nature for a chimney chase or a bay window. Mrs. Johnson stated when the deck was relocated and the house was pushed back two feet, they were required to reduce the size of their kitchen and dining room. They then added the bump -out to their plans but it was omitted from the final survey inadvertently. Mrs. Johnson commented the neighbors are looking forward to this project being completed since it would improve the drainage in the area. White moved, McMillan seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 5552, a Resolution Granting Variances for the property located at 543 Park Lane.

Turner stated the applicant is requesting lot width, lot area and hardcover variances to allow construction of a replacement residence. In November, the Planning Commission voted 3 to 1 to recommend approval of the lot width and area variances and approval of a hardcover variance to allow 27.7 percent hardcover in the 75 to 250 foot zone subject to: 1. The grading and site plans being revised to address the issues outlined in the City Engineer's report. 2. The house plans being revised to lower the floor of the basement under the garage and center portions of the house so the basement is not considered a story, and if necessary, the house being moved toward the street. Rather than move the house closer to the street, the depth of the garage has been increased by two feet to accommodate the steps from the house to the garage. This did not increase the hardcover in the 75 -250 foot zone. Hardcover in the 250 -500 foot zone increased by 60 square feet. 3. The gable end of the roof facing the lake being changed to a hip and other modifications being made to visually reduce the height of the lakeside fagade. 0 PAGE 6 of 17
