MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON MAY 27,1997 • ( #12 - #2235 Martin Schneider - Continued) Schneider indicated that he originally purchased the building in 1989 and maintained the current use. The building is currently for sale. He noted the problems with having to add a fire suppression system to the building, both structural and financially. He expressed concern that the City may not want to maintain the building as a school. Jabbour said the philosophy of the City is not to become involved in the use but indicated the Council is in support of the project. Van Zomeren said the resolution does not include a maximum number for occupancy. She recommended a number be included. Schneider noted that the building code is based on the building size and age of occupants. Van Zomeren said the number of occupants based on the building code is consistent with the resolution as drafted. Kelley moved, Goetten seconded, to approve Resolution No. 3908. Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 0. (#13) #2236 WILLIAM H. BOCKMANN,1090 LOMA LINDA AVENUE - VARIANCE - RESOLUTION NO. 3909 The applicant was present. • Van Zomeren reported that the application is a request for side yard and hardcover variances for removal of an existing one -car garage and to install a two -car garage. It 0 was noted that the Council had not been provided with the survey for their review. The property is .215 acres in the 1 acre zoning district. It does not meet lot area or width. Van Zomeren indicated that the location of the well limits the location for the new garage. She reported that the Planning Commission recommended approval for a 2.6' side yard variance and an increase from 37.2% to 38.98% hardcover in the 75 -250' setback where 25% is allowed. The Commission asked that a caveat be included putting the applicant on notice that no future hardcover would be allowed. Mr. Bockmann said the garage would actually be P from the property line due to the well. Kelley noted that conceptually the garage is located in the roadway and needs to be moved. He understood the need for a 2 car garage and supported its placement due to the well location and approval by the neighboring properties. Goetten reported that it was not possible to make any determinations without having the survey available. 17
