MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON OCTOBER 13,1997 ( #7 - #2288 Jason Theis - Continued) Council and Staff discussed what setback area the recommendation for hardcover variance under #1 referred to. It was determined that the first 40' of the lot was in the 75 -250' setback and the remainder in the 250 -500' setback. The applicant may not need the side setback as requested. Theis noted that the property slopes to the rear which allows drainage to flow away from the lake. Jabbour informed Theis that the Council was in favor of the application but wanted to ensure the language in the resolution was correct and other issues are resolved. The applicant will need to work with Staff to verify hardcover calculations on an accurate survey. Theis said he would like to begin construction this fall. Jabbour moved, Goetten seconded, to direct Staff to bring a revised resolution with appropriate language and corrections to the Council for approval. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0.

Gaffron reported the application is a two -part request. One is for street and wetland setback variances for construction of a garage to replace an existing garage in poor condition located in Parcel H. The garage construction also requires a variance for an accessory structure located nearer to the street line than the house. The second part of the application is for variances and permit for reconstruction of a fence within the right - of -way and less than 75' from lake located between the paved road and the property line. Staff recommends if garage is approved, the lots be legally combined. Gaffron noted there is court action pending regarding ownership of 20' lakeshore parcel at the east end of Parcel F. Gaffron said the existing garage is located 2.8' within the right -of -way and new garage proposed F from the lot line. It would meet the 10' side setback and 20' from the wetland, where 26' separation is required. The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed garage and voted 6:1 for approval of a street setback variance with location closer to street than house. They recommended the garage to be within a 18x24' 7
