ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR NOVEMBER 23, 1998 ( #2411 Paul Hanssen, continued) if the property owner has allowed the structure to deteriorate. Flint moved, Peterson seconded, to approve Application #2411, 3195 Casco Circle, granting a variance to hardcover in the 0 -75' setback, a variance to allow a boathouse to exist within 75' of the lakeshore, and a variance from the side yard adjacent to street setbacks to allow the structure to be located ten feet from a platted public right -of -way as outlined in the November 18, 1998 Planner's Report. John Erickson stated he understands the position of the City Council, but noted that he was required to remove a pre- existing boathouse. Erickson inquired whether he would be permitted to rebuild that structure. Mayor Jabbour remarked that the resident can submit an application, noting that he is not thoroughly familiar with what the resident was referring to but that it happened a long time ago. Jabbour indicated he would be willing to meet with the resident if he so desired to discuss the matter. Kelley inquired whether Mayor Jabbour's position was that the majority of the damage to the boathouse was caused by the storm rather than the general disrepair of the structure due to deterioration over the years. Mayor Jabbour stated to his understanding the storm eliminated the roof and a tree fell on the boathouse. Hanssen stated the deck was ripped from the foundation, but was unsure as to whether a tree actually fell on the structure. A tree located close to the structure was required to be removed. • Mayor Jabbour indicated he understood the storm had damaged the structure. • Hanssen remarked the storm damaged the deck. VOTE ON MOTION: Ayes 4, Nays 1. Goetten indicated she was opposed to approving the application due to the fact that City Staff has indicated that the boathouse in their view was not damaged by the storm, and has not changed her understanding of the ordinance at this time. ( #8) #2417 TOLD DEVELOPMENT, 2380 SHADYWOOD ROAD - B -5 ZONING AMENDMENT Bob Cunningham, Told Development, was present. Gaffron indicated the Applicant is requesting an amendment to the B -5 Limited Neighborhood Business District to add a drugstore use to the list of allowed (permitted or conditional) uses. The B -5 Limited Neighborhood Business District includes 2380 Shadywood property as well as two areas along Shoreline Drive. The B -5 District was created in 1975 to provide limited business activity compatible with the adjacent and surrounding residential uses. The B -5 District was also intended to provide for businesses that serve residents in the surrounding neighborhood as opposed to a place for City -wide or regional oriented uses. These businesses are not intended to be high traffic generators and do not necessitate an inordinate amount of hardcover. The district shall have immediate access to adequate highways and public sanitary sewer. Because of the location of the B -5 District as contemplated in the area known as Navarre, the uses are limited in order • Page 10
