CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 6660 A2. The Property is located within the RR I B Single Family Rural Residential District which requires a minimum lot area of 2.0 acres and a minimum lot width of 200' for construction of a single family residence. A3. The Property is 0.62 acres in area, being 180 feet in defined width. The property is considered as legally nonconforming with regard to lot area and lot width. A4. The property is located within Storm Water Quality Overlay District Tier 1 which allows 25% hardcover. The proposed residence additions will result in total hardcover on the property of 4,212 s.f or approximately 15.71/9, well below the maximum overall hardcover allowance for the Property. Hardcover within the 0-75' zone where no hardcover is normally allowed is 1,070 s.f. AS. The applicants are proposing to reoonfigure an existing deck into a covered deck with storage below, on the east side of the residence. The property abuts the creek that flows from Lake Classen to Stubbs Bay which is a protected tributary and subject to a 75' structure setback as well as the standard limitations on hardcover in the 0-75' zone. Portions of the existing house, deck and patio are within 75' of the creek shoreline, which normally exists at approximately the 960' contour, fluctuations being controlled by the dam farther south just east of Leaf Street. A6. The existing house is two levels with a flat roof, and the proposed deck area reconfiguration will retain that styling. The construction will be occurring almost entirely over existing patio, deck or driveway hardcover, and no hardcover increase is proposed. The additional superstructure of storage area enclosure and deck roof constitute new structure within 75' of the shoreline, requiring a variance for hardcover conversion and structure within 75' of the creek. AT The proposal to replace the existing deck in its existing footprint, add a roof over it, and create enclosed storage under it, will not increase hardcover from the existing levels. Existing and proposed hardcover at just under 16% is well below the 25% threshold for the site, and no additional hardcover is being added in the 0-75' zone, so runoff from the site is not expected to increase. A8. The only new structure footprint proposed is the 4' extension of the deck southward and the stairway leading to the driveway. This constitutes 46 s.f of added structural hardcover in the 0-75' zone, while overall structural coverage on the lot will still be at only 5.5%, well below the 15% limit. A9. The proposed roof over the reconfigured deck will provide functionality while enhancing the architectural styling of the existing residence. Because the proposed deck roof is well below the 30' height limit, it is not expected to be visually intrusive from off-site. E
