MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING HELD ON JANUARY 27,1997 <br />( #6) #2200 WILLIAM ELLIS, 2435 NORTH SHORE DRIVE - VARIANCES - <br />RESOLUTION #3836 • <br />The Applicant was represented by Robert Harris. <br />Van Zomeren reported that the application is a request for approval of lot area, lot width, <br />side setback and hardcover variances within the 250 -500' setback area to allow <br />construction of a new residence. The 1.3 acre property is located in the LR -1 A zoning <br />district which requires 2 acres. The new residence would be located in the approximate <br />footprint of the existing residence and requires a 34.6% lot area variance. The lot width <br />at the shoreline is 127' and 120' at the 75' setback where 200' is required resulting in a <br />40% variance request. The required side yard setback is 30'. The existing and proposed <br />east side yard is at 16.2' and 13.5' for the west side yard. The 250 -500' setback area <br />allows 30% hardcover. The property currently exists at 36.6% and is proposed at 36.5% <br />hardcover for a 6.5% variance. Van Zomeren noted that the Planning Commission <br />recommended approval. <br />Harris had no additional comments. <br />There were no public comments. <br />Goetten moved, Peterson seconded, to approve Resolution #3836. Vote: Ayes 4, Nays <br />0. 0 <br />(City Attorney Radio arrived at this time.) <br />MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT <br />Jabbour reported having received telephone calls regarding the Maxwell Bay Access. <br />Jabbour voiced concern with a proposed LMCD ordinance that would allow cities and <br />other agencies to accumulate Lakeshore segments owned at various locations around the <br />lake for dock usage at one location. Jabbour noted that the majority of the lake shore is <br />in Orono yet Orono does not own any docks. <br />Peterson questioned whether this could have an affect on Norenberg Park. <br />Radio saw the situation as two separate issues of transfer and development. <br />Jabbour directed City Attorney Radio to investigate how the city may invoke harbor <br />limits which would affect 300' into the lake from the shore line. He will report back with <br />more information at the first meeting in March. <br />10 <br />
