ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />MINUTES FOR JUNE 14,1999 <br />• ( #S) KURT SCHMID,160 GOLDEN VIEW ROAD - APPEAL OF ADMINISTRATIVE <br />DECISION- Continued <br />E <br />the applicant will do irreparable damage by limiting the lot to a four - bedroom house, but it <br />would be okay if staff is comfortable with it and could work it out with the applicant. <br />Weckman said the main reason this item is before the Council is that it is a new house and the <br />applicant wants to place the driveway in the required setback. He does not feel staff has the <br />authority to approve ten feet for one person and 20 feet for another person. The City Code <br />requires a 20 -foot setback and he feels that standard should be maintained. If the Council <br />chooses to change the rules, that's fine, but he believes it sets a bad precedent to issue this <br />type of variance for a new house without any hardship. <br />Jabbour said the code should be changed because the consequences of the code are negative <br />to the ultimate goal. <br />Weckman said the code needs to.be revised because of recent changes to the septic code by <br />the State of Nfmnesota. <br />Peterson asked if there is a hardship in this case. <br />Jabbour said no. <br />Schmid said he wanted a circular driveway from the beginning, but the surveyor couldn't put <br />it on the plan because of the setback requirements. <br />Jabbour said he agrees with staff that it would be a bad precedent for the Council to grant the <br />variance with the lack of a hardship, but the Council should review the code if it no longer <br />makes sense. <br />Peterson moved, Jabbour seconded, a motion to support staffs decision regarding the <br />septic site requirement at 160 Golden View Road. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />( *#6) #132 ORONO SCHOOLS, 800 OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD NORTH - <br />EXTINGUISH CITY EASEMENT - RESOLUTION NO. 4303 <br />Peterson moved, Kelley seconded, a motion to approve Resolution No. 4303 authorizing <br />the appropriate City representatives to sign the documents extinguishing the City's <br />easement rights over Outlot A, Orono School Expansion per the terms of the Developers <br />Agreement dated November 28, 1998.
