ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR MARCH 24,1997 ( #7 - #2218 Jyland Development Inc. - Continued) • Park Commission will review this application at their April 7, 1997 meeting. The applicant had requested preliminary approval by the Council prior to the Park Commission's review. Council members were concerned about the wording of the park fees to be paid by the applicant. City Attorney Radio suggested amending the proposed Resolution paragraph 4 to read: Applicants shall pay the standard park fees for lots 1, 2, 3, and 4 per the current Park Fee Ordinance; subject, however, to the review and recommendation of the Park Commission regarding dedication of any land in lieu of a cash contribution. Should the Park Commission recommend a land dedication, which is then approved by the City Council as part of the final plat approval process, the developer will receive a credit for the land dedication as per the Park Fee Ordinance. Goetten moved, Peterson seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 3861 A Resolution Granting Preliminary Approval for a Plat at 1185 Hunter Drive amended as per the wording of the City Attorney.

Van Zomeren reviewed the application stating the applicant was requesting a height variance and an average lakeshore setback variance in order to construct a new residence on a vacant lot. It was noted the applicant has reduced the original height of the proposed observatory by using a different construction method which lowers the proposed height. Van Zomeren explained how the definition of building height is addressed in the code. Council had concerns regarding the height of the building and the impact it would have as viewed from the lake. Peterson asked if there was someway to eliminate the need for a 1'4" height variance. Radio suggested to Council the proposed resolution be amended to state the applicant will work with staff to reduce the building height as much as possible.
