MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON DECEMBER 8,1997 • ( #5 - #2264 Janet Kiernan - Continued) Jabbour noted that it is not the Council's intent to design the home but were trying to determine the issues of concern. He said the majority of the Council feels the resolution could be amended if the structure was relocated out of the 75' setback or the portion eliminated in the 0 -75' setback. Kiernan asked if this included the terrace and stairs. Jabbour said the terrace would have to be located out of the 0 -75', but the stairs could remain. He noted the house was only allowed to remain where it was located due to the use of the existing foundation. Peterson asked if the 6 -8' distance into the 0 -75' setback included the terrace. Gaffron said it did not. He said the plan would have to be moved back 20' to allow the terrace to be located out of the 0 -75' setback. Kiernan noted that she had significantly reduced the hardcover in the 0 -75' setback. Jabbour agreed but noted that the requirement is for zero hardcover in the 0 -75' setback with none of the original house remaining. Jabbour asked the applicant if she would like to take time to consider her options at this time. He clarified that the resolution could be amended with the house as designed as long as no portion of the house or terrace is located in the 0 -75' setback. IKiernan noted the problem with getting closer to the garage with the elevations. Gaffron showed the site plan and the difficulty in making use of the existing garage as planned if the structure is pushed back on the property, with having to swing into the garage if it is moved to the west. Jabbour suggested if the structure is moved to the north, there would be more space in front of the old garage. Kiernan questioned whether this would affect the drainfield. Gaffron said it would not create a problem as sewer will be ready to serve the property. He said grading may be of question. Kiernan asked Council to consider the busyness of CoRd 15 and her desire to keep as far away from that road as possible. Jabbour moved, Kelley seconded, to continue the agenda item to the end of the Zoning Administrator's Report. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. ( #6) #2279 G. MARC AND TRACY WHITEHEAD,1220 LYMAN AVENUE - PRELIMINARY PLAT - RESOLUTION NO. 3966 Tracy Whitehead and Attorney, John Winston, were present. Jabbour ascertained from City Attorney Barrett that the applicant and he have reached a conclusion regarding the park dedication fee. Gaffron acknowledged that the preliminary plat was being reconsidered because of the park dedication fee.
