MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON FEBRUARY 12, 1996 • ( 98 - #2099 Brueggemann/Maeser - Continued) Gaffron continued that the applicant, Loren Brueggemann, proposes a lot line rearrangement requiring a replat for 2 distinct building lots. The house on Lots 10 and 11 would be torn down along with the accessory building and two rental cabins. Two new houses are proposed to be built. The replat creates a front lot/back lot situation requiring the configuration of a 30' outlot. The front lot would be 0.76 acres where 2 acres are required. Lot 2 requires 150% of the 2 acre standard but would be 1.09 acres in size. This results in substandard variances for Lots 1 and 2. Gaffron reported that the front and back lot needs setbacks not standard on 2 acre lots with 150% required for back/front setbacks. The Lakeshore setback still applies. The 30' access outlot is still required leaving a small building envelope. In Lot 1, based on the frontiback configuration, a 50' side setback is required, leaving a building envelope of only 10' wide, which is not suitable. Lot area variances are required for Lots 1 and 2. Lot 2 requires a 10' width variance at the street setback where 200' is necessary. Lot 1 requires a 30' side street setback variance for the proposed house, which is proposed at 20' where 50' is required. A hardcover excess is shown in the outlot at 35 %, where 25% hardcover is allowed. Lot 2 does meet the hardcover standard. Ga.ffron reported that the Planning Commission reviewed the application at their January 16 meeting. A 4/0 denial recommendation was made due to the lack of finding • acceptable hardships. It was noted that the property has been assessed for one sewer unit. Gaffron said there are two stubs to the property but it has no bearing on the property. It is unknown why the second stub exists. The property has not paid for or have the right to the second stub. The sewering was part of the Stubbs Bay project. Callahan was informed by Gaffron that the two cabins on the property have existed for many years. They are located close to the lake and are non - conforming. Gaffron noted there are three buildings currently using the septic system, which does not meet the 3' separation and is located in the 0 -75' setback. The septic system needs to be removed. Gaffron reminded the Council that Maeser was given two years by the Council in May of 1995 to remove the cabins and required the house to be connected to the sewer. This has not occurred nor has the agreement been signed. Brueggemann has proposed to purchase the property to build 2 houses on the less than 2 acre parcel where 5 acres are required. •
