MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON DECEMBER 8,1997 ( * 411) CITY OF ORONO - ZONING AMENDMENT - LAND ALTERATION REGULATIONS AND PERMIT CRITERIA #102, 2ND SERIES Goetten moved, Peterson seconded, to adopt Ordinance No. 102, Second Series, an Ordinance Amending the City of Orono Zoning Code Section 10.03, Subdivisions 19 and 21, and Section 10.56 Subdivision 16 (J) to Revise and Clarify Requirements and Limitations on Land Alteration and Land Alteration Permits. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. ( #5) #2264 JANET KIERNAN - CONTINUED Jabbour asked if the Council would be within their jurisdiction to amend the resolution. Barrett said this could occur as long as there were less variances required. Christy said the applicant proposes to rotate the structure clockwise 15 degrees and move it back behind the 75' setback line in its entirety including the terrace. This would allow access to the garage without jamming the structure into it, minimize economical waste, eliminating further excavation, and minimize tree loss. The same variances would be required for side setback and 75 -250' hardcover. Christy said the hardcover would increase in the 75 -250' setback due to the amount that would have been in the 0- 75' would now be pushed into the 75 -250' setback. The other variance would be the same for average lakeshore setback. Christy said he would like to see the permit amended, submit site plans, and redesign the 0 interior. If elevation is changing to meet the grade, there may need to be a slight design change making some of the current design of the old home awkward and could be eliminated. This could be accomplished without further increasing the bulk of the structure and resulting in less of the bulk encroaching the side setback. He speculated that there would be no additional fees necessary for the new construction. Jabbour asked about time schedule. Christy said if the footings and concrete work could be done within the next two weeks, there would be no problem with continuing. Jabbour said he would like to reconsider the application with eliminating hardcover in the 0 -75' setback (excluding stairs), and allowing this amount of square footage to be in the 75 -250' setback, maintaining same side setback of 15' with no further encroachment, and eliminating existing footings. Kelley noted that there is 3.9% of hardcover in the 0- 75' setback and the 75 -250' setback is currently at 27.6 %. Jabbour noted that the calculations will have to be by square footage. Barrett said the recommendation by Jabbour would be satisfactory. Gaffron indicated there would be no additional fees. The only change might be the valuation for the building permit. Jabbour asked that Staff diligently work with the applicant. is 20
