01- o <br /> CITY of ORONO <br /> RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> ��$ES io NO. 3000 <br /> 3. The property is approximately 0.27 acre in area, <br /> contains a portion of the creek leading from Classen Lake to <br /> Stubbs Bay, and has not been provided with municipal sewer. <br /> 4. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application <br /> on July 15, 1991 and recommended approval of the proposed <br /> variances and conditional use permit as described above, <br /> based on the following findings: <br /> A) The proposed garage to be located 10' from the <br /> existing house as required by Zoning Code Section <br /> 10.03, Subdivision 12, and to be located 26' from the <br /> creek as required by Section 10.55, Subdivision 8, <br /> replaces an existing garage located only 5' from the <br /> existing house and only 14' from the creek. Therefore, <br /> in those two respects the new garage will be conforming <br /> whereas the old garage was non-conforming. <br /> B) The setbacks from the front street lot line and the <br /> side street lot line are proposed to be 39' and 37' <br /> respectively. The 11' front street setback variance is <br /> justified in that the garage will still be behind the <br /> front line of the existing house. The side street <br /> setback variance of 13' is supported by the fact that <br /> substantial screening exists along Bayside Road so that <br /> the garage will not be obtrusive. <br /> C) Hardcover in the 75-250' zone under proposed <br /> "Option B" will be reduced from 33.9% existing to <br /> 28.9%, after removals of the existing garage and <br /> specific areas of plastic lined rockbeds. Hardcover in <br /> the 250-500' zone will remain below the 30% limit. <br /> D) Except for the area within the defined banks of the <br /> creek that traverses the property, the entire property <br /> is located in a f loodfringe sheet flow area, requiring <br /> that the floor of the garage be placed at least 1' <br /> above the 934' creek overflow elevation at this site. <br /> It is reasonable and feasible to construct the garage <br /> with a floor elevation of 935' . <br /> 5. Per Section 10.55, Subdivision 10 (B), the proposed <br /> garage meets the setbacks required by Section 10.55 , <br /> Subdivision 8, and in the sheet f low area will not restrict <br /> or obstruct any f loodf low nor will it raise the level of the <br /> floodflow. <br /> Page 2 of 7 <br />
