MINUTES OF REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 24,1988 ZONING FILE #1346 - HAGBERG CONTINUED • explained that since the Planning Commission's review, staff discovered that an additional sewer line existed along the north line of the property. Mr. Hagberg believed that he had signed something back.. in the early 1970's pertaining to the road. However, nothing has ever been recorded on Mr. Hagberg's chain of title. Mr. Hagberg's proposed garage would be . 5' from the sewer line, where normally 10' is required. Even though the easement is not of record, the City would still like to maintain 10' on either side of the sewer line so that repairs to the line could occur without disturbing Mr. Hagberg's garage. City Administrator Bernhardson asked Public Works Director. Gerhardson as to the depth of the sewer line. Gerhardson replied that he had not checked the "as builts" but he recollected the line to be very shallow. He believed that he could get by with a total of 15', 5' and 101. Mr. Hagberg presented pictures showing his lot and indicated where he wanted to place his storage garage. Mayor Grabek suggested allowing Mr. Hagberg to build his garage where he originally proposed, with only a 5' setback to the sewer line. Councilmember Callahan asked why Mr. Hagberg needed the extra storage facility. Mr. Hagberg stated that he required the extra storage space. Mayor Grabek concurred with Callahan's question and asked what was the hardship for placing another garage on a 3/4 acre lot? Gaffron stated that the Planning • Commission did not address that point. Mr. Hagberg explained that he had four lawnmowers that needed to be stored. He had torn down an old shed that was used for that purpose. Assistant Planning and Zoning Administrator Gaffron suggested the possibility of removing hardcover to compensate for the additional storage garage. He asked Mr. Hagberg if he would be willing to remove the plastic underlying his landscaping. Mr. Hagberg answered affirmatively. Mayor Grabek suggested that the application be referred back to the Planning Commission for further review. Callahan concurred. It was moved by Mayor Grabek, seconded by Councilmember Nettles, to refer this matter back to the Planning Commission to answer the question of hardship for such a large facility, and investigate other alternatives. Motion, Ayes =5, Nays =O, Motion passed. MAYOR'S REPORT: Mayor Grabek had no report for this meeting. 11
