MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD NOVEMBER 24, 1986 #1075 JOSEPH DURDA 3135 NORTH SHORE DRIVE VARIANCE - REQUEST TO RECONSIDER COUNCIL ACTION Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron reported that the applicant was unable to attend this meeting and requested the Council table this matter. It was moved by Mayor Butler, seconded by Councilmember Adams, to table this matter until staff is notified by applicant when they can attend. Motion, Ayes 4, Nays 0. #1081 GREGORY W. LONG 3359 CRYSTAL BAY ROAD VARIANCE RESOLUTION Gregory Long was present for this matter. He submitted a revised plan indicating areas of hardcover to be removed which would decrease the 0 -75' hardcover to 29.3% from the previous proposed 41.9% level. He stated that his main concern was to avoid parking on the street to allow access to driveway and garage. Councilmember Frahm restated his feelings indicated at the last Council meeting regarding the reduction of hardcover in the 0 -75' to a maximum of 25% in return for the City allowing structure in the 0 -751. Mayor Butler stated that she felt the topography was a hardship and would be willing to approve the revised proposal. It was moved by Councilmember Frahm, seconded by Mayor Butler, to approve the revised proposal which shortens the depth of the porch by 31, narrow driveway width to 16', and decrease 0 -75' hardcover to 29.3 %. Approval based on hardship of lot, size, topography. Motion, Ayes 2, Nays 2. Councilmember Grabek and Adams voted nay. Councilmember Grabek stated that he still felt the structure was an intrusion into the 75' sightline and allowing it would create a precedent. Councilmember Adams stated that he did not agree with the philosophy of the smaller the lot, the more allowed penetration into the 0 -75' setback. Councilmember Frahm stated that he felt the reduction of 0 -75' hardcover is a benefit to the City and is a suitable exchange. 2
