MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON MAY 27,1997 • ( #14 - #2237 Jim and Roxanne Stasik - Continued) Goetten inquired what hardcover was located in the 0 -75' setback. Van Zomeren indicated that there is 480 s.f. of hardcover including blacktop and stairs. Goetten stated the hardcover amount on the property is about two times what is allowed and suggested some removal of hardcover to offset the requested deck replacement. Mrs. Stasik said the property has a steep incline requiring the blacktop trail to the lake. This enables them to move lawn equipment down to the lake. She said the property conformed to code when built in 1981. Stasik indicated that the pool was also built at that same time but the permit would have been taken out by the pool company. She said the driveway was necessary due to the steep incline and need for a turnaround enabling them to egress and ingress their property. During the winter months, they have to park on the turnaround as the driveway is too difficult to traverse. Jabbour asked about the line of rock to the lake. Stasik said their home is located below Saga Hill and the rock prevents runoff from coming to the house. She has a number of large gardens to aid erosion control. Jabbour questioned whether the proper permits were obtained resulting in the large amount of hardcover. Jabbour asked Staff if a review was conducted of hardcover and structural coverage in relation to previously issued permits. Van Zomeren said the • review was not conducted. Jabbour asked that the facts be recorded as part of the record. Goetten said she could not support the application request without asking for a reduction in hardcover. Stasik questioned what could be eliminated. Goetten said no safety risks should be taken. Stasik said while the gardens are old, there is plastic underneath but most likely does not function. Van Zomeren indicated there was 3765 s.f of gardens with plastic. Goetten asked that applicant remove a like amount of plastic to offset the amount of additional hardcover. Jabbour suggested removal of an equal amount of plastic for the size of the deck at 125 s.f. Stasik agreed. Goetten moved, Kelley seconded, to approve Resolution No. 3910 subject to removal of plastic underlayment of 125 s.f. Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 0. (Mayor /Council Report follows the City Administrator's Report.)
