• ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR NOVEMBER 9, 1998 ( #4) #2369 JOE FIEDLER, 365 -373 WESTLAKE STREET - LOT COMBINATION /ACCESSORY BUILDING RESOLUTION NO. 4192 - continued Peterson felt a time line should be established for future sewer refund requests. After discussion, members felt circumstances were unique to this property and by allowing the lot combination the property would be closer to meeting the zoning standards for the area. No precedent would be set for future assessment refunds. Kelley moved, Jabbour seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 4192 granting the lot combination and to direct staff to draft a resolution to refund the amount of the paid sewer assessment in the approximate amount of $5,304.02. Vote: Ayes 3, Nays 2. Peterson and Goetten voted no. ( #5) #2422 RICHARD GAY, 2735 SHADYWOOD ROAD - VARIANCE - DENIAL RESOLUTION NO. 4193. Applicant was not present and application will be discussed later to allow time for applicant to appear. • ( #6) #2424 GREG KLOHN, 4455 NORTH SHORE DRIVE - VARIANCE - RESOLUTION NO. 4194. Gregg Klohn was present. Weinberger explained applicant has requested an after- the -fact variance to complete a deck located on the lakeside of the home and a variance to construct an 8'x17' addition within the 250 -500' setback area. The deck would encroach 24' into the average lakeshore setback area. The proposed development is consistent with the area and would not impact the sight lines for neighboring property owners. The addition would result in an increase of hardcover to 136 s.f. (35.1 %0) where only 30% is allowed. Mr. Klohn is undecided at this time whether to replace a storm damaged garage on the property which has been subsequently removed. Mr. Klohn stated work was stopped on the deck when he realized a permit was required. He has not decided whether to rebuild the garage in the same location or as a tuckunder garage. It is his understanding no variance would be required to build a garage damaged from the storm in the same location. Mayor Jabbour noted confusion with comments he has received from residents regarding the Building Department's procedures for handling storm damage.
