MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD MARCH 17, 1987 <br />J80 CITY OF ORONO CONTINUED <br />It was moved by Councilmember Callahan, seconded by <br />Councilmember Goetten, to accept staff's recommendation <br />and direct staff to draft the appropriate ordinance <br />amendment for formal action at the March 30th meeting <br />and to further direct the City Engineer to draft revised <br />legal descriptions for both the LR -lA and RR -lA zones <br />and to record these changes on the official zoning maps <br />of the City. Motion, Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />#1108 JAMES E. McGOWAN <br />3175 JAMESTOWN ROAD <br />PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION <br />RESOLUTION #2145 <br />Mary Ann McGowen was present for this matter. <br />City Administrator Bernhardson explained the request for <br />a 2 -lot subdivision creating lots of 3 acres and 2 <br />acres. The driveway for the westerly lot has been <br />confirmed by a surveyor to be totally on its own lot. <br />Both lots require the standard variance for access only <br />to a private road. Lot A (3 acres) requires a lot width <br />variance being 108' in width where 200' is required, but <br />meeting the 200' width at the location of the existing <br />home. Staff worked on solutions to the lot width <br />problem however found the solution would create a <br />gerrymandered lot line. Planning Commission recommended <br />against this in favor of a lot width variance. <br />Councilmember Goetten questioned the status of the <br />existing horse barn. <br />Zoning Administrator Mabusth stated that the Planning <br />Commission did not address the issue of the barn. She <br />suggested that the future property owner be advised of <br />the 1 horse limit due to the area reduction. <br />Councilmember Callahan suggested that the horse limit be <br />incorporated in the resolution. <br />City Administrator Bernhardson noted that a setback <br />variance may be required for the existing barn which <br />would not meet the required 75' sideyard setback. <br />Mayor Grabek suggested that the barn setback requirement <br />also be incorporated in the resolution. <br />There were no comments from the public. <br />It was moved by Councilmember Goetten, seconded by <br />Councilmember Sime, to approve preliminary plat approval <br />for the 2 -lot plat of James' & Mary Ann McGowen subject <br />to amending the resolution regarding the barn structure. <br />Motion, Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />3 <br />
