MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON JANUARY 8, 1996 ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT • ( #3) #1958 LOUIS OBERHAUSER, 2405 DUNWOODY AVENUE, 3865 AND 3877 SHORELINE DRIVE - REPLAT - PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION AND VARIANCES Louis Oberhauser was present. Mabusth reported that the application for realignment of lot lines on the property on Shoreline Drive had been tabled from the December 11, 1995, meeting of the Council. The realignment caused a greater reduction in the area of Lot 1 with a major impact on the hardcover and lot coverage. The applicant has agreed to keep all structures and improvements out of the 75' zone. Lot 2 will no longer need an area variance, only requiring a width variance and hardcover variance. Lot 1 will require a 5' setback resulting in a 25' setback variance. Lot 1 coverage is at 18.3% will require a 3.3% variance. Hardcover is proposed at 48.4 %; existing at 73.8 %. Lot 2's hardcover exists at 30.9% and is proposed at 31.9 %. The lot width of Lot 1 has improved as a result of the lot line rearrangement. Mabusth reported that conceptual approval of the variances is recommended at this time until the subdivision is finalized. Staff will, at that time, do both the final plat and variances resolution. Since the hardcover variances are excessive, Mabusth suggested the resolution stipulate that all approved hardcover improvements include decks and • sidewalks as no more hardcover will be allowed on the property. The conceptual building envelope of 55'x40' is to include any decking. At the December 11 Council meeting, it was determined that the applicant was to provide a developer's agreement and post security to ensure the boarded buildings are removed by the end of January. A developer's agreement has been delivered but the applicant had sent a letter stating he had problems with posting the security. Oberhauser commented that the fire department, although willing to burn down the structures, informed the applicant that this was a two month process. Callahan asked Oberhauser if he was willing to take the structures down. Oberhauser informed Callahan that he was willing to do so. Callahan asked Oberhauser if there was a problem with posting the security. Oberhauser said he was tapped out financially and could only post an assessment security. Callahan suggested tabling the application until January 22 when the structures would be already removed. Callahan moved, Jabbour seconded, to table Application #1958 to the February 12, 1996 meeting of the Council. Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 0. is 2
