C: 1�1 MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, May 10, 2010 7:00 o `clock p.m. (6. #09 -3405 INTERNATIONAL MINISTERIAL FELLOWSHIP 2477 SHADYWOOD ROAD, Continued) Curtis stated in November of 2009 the applicant received approvals to construct an addition on the front of the building and an entry deck on the rear of the building for the church. At the time of building permit submittal, the applicant realized that a trash enclosure building they had planned for had not been part of the plans or the approval. The applicant is requesting that the Council amend their November 2009 approvals to include the 10' x 23' building which was overlooked: The proposed building location is adjacent to the location approved with the original 2001 CUP, which is next to the building's loading dock. The alternative location puts the trash enclosure at the northwest corner of the parking lot, closer to the neighbor who voiced concerns about noise and activity with the new deck, as well as much farther from the loading dock. The proposed location of the new trash enclosure is 45 feet closer to Shadywood than the principal structure and the existing enclosure. It is proposed to be located in an area which would be screened from Shadywood by a berm and evergreen trees. A variance is necessary to allow the structure to be located between the principal structure and the street. Murphy asked where the original approved site is. Curtis illustrated on the overhead the location of the original site. In 2001, when the applicant originally received a CUP, that was the site where the City approved the trash enclosure. McMillan asked if that is where the dumpster sits now. Masserano indicated they sit there now and that they would like to enclose it. Murphy asked how far from the old location the new proposed location is. Masserano stated it is a matter of a few feet and that the current location is too close to the dock area. Curtis noted the applicant is proposing that the dumpster be enclosed. Frank Masserano indicated at the present time the dumpster is just sitting there in the open and that they are attempting to improve the appearance of the lot by adding the structure. If the structure were located in the back, it would necessitate them hauling the garbage from the loading dock out to the dumpster through the snow in the wintertime. White commented this is a nice improvement to the site. Bremer moved, Murphy seconded, International Ministerial Fellowship Church, 2477 Shadywood Road, be directed to submit a variance application for the trash enclosure building as proposed.
