ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />MINUTES FOR JULY 12, 1999 <br />• (#4) #2488 GREGG AND THERESA ALOHN, 4455 NORTH SHORE DRIVE - <br />VARIANCE - Continued <br />Klohn said approximately 250 feet. <br />Jabbour said it might be within the 250 feet on that side. Jabbour said he is concerned that <br />Klohn will be asking for other variances for an addition to the house. He does not believe <br />there would be room for storing other items if a car is put in the garage. He asked if Klohn <br />would build a 10' x 18' garage because not many cars would fit in that size garage. <br />Klohn said his goal is not to put a car in the garage. It would be storage for snowmobiles, <br />lawn mowers and other items. <br />Jabbour said he thinks there should be an ordinance saying that everybody should have a two - <br />car garage calculated in their hardcover when they get a building permit. He objects to the fact <br />that some people get a building permit with no garage calculated, and then come back later for <br />a variance for a garage. He feels Klohn is asking for a shed for storage of his possessions. He <br />asked if the excess hardcover could be taken out of the other zone. <br />Kelley said he doesn't feel the Council can take the position that the hardcover in that zone <br />will stay at 19 %. <br />• Klohn said if he builds a 10' x 18' garage, there would be 32% hardcover. <br />Jabbour said a side - loaded garage will never allow for a car to enter it and that's how he is <br />maintaining the lower hardcover, because there is no driveway coming through from the front. <br />Sansevere asked if Klohn ever put a car in the shed before the storm damage. <br />Klohn said no, it was for storage only. <br />Jabbour asked staff how large a shed Klohn could build without increasing hardcover. <br />Weinberger said if the shed was built taking in the total square footage of the shed that was <br />removed and the existing shed, it would be 243 square feet or a 24' x 10' building. The <br />structure destroyed by the storm was 10' x 18'. <br />Klohn said he is willing to rebuild the 10' x 18' garage, but he would like to incorporate the <br />other shed and move it off the right -of -way. <br />Kelley asked what the hardcover would be if Klohn was allowed to rebuild the 10' x 18' <br />garage, but eliminate the storage shed. <br />• Klohn said he would like the garage to blend in with the appearance of the neighbor's garage. <br />Page 7 <br />
