City of ORONO <br /> CITY RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> NO. <br /> s - e • <br /> B) The most recent hardcover approval granted on November <br /> 28 , 1988 per Resolution #2546 , allowed no net hardcover <br /> increase from previous approvals but allowed applicant to <br /> trade off portions of driveway and sidewalk for other <br /> specific additions. <br /> C) In 1989 during the remodeling process, applicant <br /> removed the circular deck on the lake side of the house for <br /> convenience of construction. The applicant was unaware that <br /> removal of that deck would require a variance to reconstruct <br /> or replace it , because it encroached into the 0-75' <br /> lakeshore setback zone. <br /> D) In the current application, applicant proposes the <br /> following improvements: <br /> 1 ) Construction of a loop driveway within the <br /> property boundaries, constituting additional hardcover <br /> in the 75-250' lakeshore setback zone. <br /> 2 ) Replacement of the formerly existing circular <br /> deck, with a slightly smaller hardcovered terrace area, <br /> encroaching into the 0-75' lakeshore setback zone. <br /> 3) Construction of sidewalks constituting additional <br /> hardcover in the 75-250' lakeshore setback zone. <br /> 4 ) Construction of a 6' high fence along the street <br /> lot line, exceeding the 3 1/2' height normally allowed <br /> at that location, and constituting approximately 35 <br /> square feet of additional hardcover in the 75-250' <br /> lakeshore setback zone. <br /> 5) Construction of retaining walls along the west end <br /> of the house to accomodate grade changes previously <br /> approved in that area, for an additional 68 square feet <br /> of hardcover in the 75-250' lakeshore setback zone. <br /> E) The proposed improvements would result in a net <br /> decrease in hardcover in the 0-75 ' zone from 2. 9 % <br /> (associated with the formerly existing circular deck) down <br /> to 2.6% with the proposed terrace. No hardcover is normally <br /> allowed in the 0-75' zone. <br /> Page 2 of 7 <br />
