MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD APRIL 13, 1987 *x106 R.F. POTAS 2190 SHADYWOOD ROAD VARIANCES RESOLUTION #2161 Ronald Potas was present for this matter. City Administrator Bernhardson explained that the applicant originally requested hardcover and average setback variances to construct a room addition and deck. Planning Commission recommended to deny the addition, the main reasons being the encroachment on the neighbor's views of the lake, and to a lesser extent the additional hardcover in the 75 -250' zone. Due to Planning Commission's recommendation, applicant revised his proposal to exclude the room addition and proposes now to construct only a deck of 763 s.f. (smaller than the original proposal), behind the average lakeshore setback line so there is no need for an average setback variance. Further, the applicant is still proposing to remove 1,460 s.f. of hardcover by removing plastic from beneath his extensive rock beds, resulting in a 75 -250' net reduction from 46.7% to 43.7%, and from 42.0% down to 36.1% in the 250 -500' zone. Council's options are to approve or deny the revised proposal; or send the revised proposal back to the Planning Commission for recommendation. Councilmember Goetten stated that she talked to Planning Commission Chairman Kelley about the revised proposal, and it was his opinion that he would be in favor of the proposal as revised and not necessary to be reveiwed by the Planning Commission. Planning Commission member Cohen concurred with Chairman Kelley's opinion, and felt the Planning Commission would approve the revised proposal. Councilmember Sime stated the applicant has demonstrated a willingness to conform with the standards which has resulted in a net reduction of hardcover, therefore, felt Council should approve at this time. It was moved by Councilmember Sime, seconded by Councilmember Goetten, to adopt Resolution #2161 approving the revised plan as submitted. Motion, Ayes 4, Nays 0. 3
