MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON JULY 8, 1996 • ( #6 - 92134 Rob Albrecht - Continued) Goetten said the concern in 1991 was over the driveway. The Planning Commission at that time thought the driveway was too important to decrease. She commented that the applicant said the deck was built in order for the children to have an opportunity to play, yet noted that there is a plan for a hot tub to be located on the deck. Mitchell responded that the tub would have a cover. Goetten said with the notation of the prior Planning Commission that no additional hardcover be allowed, the fact of the property being substandard, a concern for removing any of the driveway, she believes the deck should be removed. Goetten also questioned the ignorance regarding the lack of building permit. Jabbour said the stairway should be reduced to 4' but noted the proposal is for trade off of non - structural hardcover (driveway) for minimal structure (deck). Callahan said he was concerned with the comments made in 1991, did not feel it only meant the 0 -75' zone, but did note there was no gain in hardcover. Kelley moved, Jabbour seconded, to approve Application 92134 with the correction of the lake deck being reduced to 4' and the addition of 165 s. f. of hardcover with the removal of 255 s.f of asphalt. Jabbour asked that the resolution clarify the previous • comments that no additional hardcover be allowed from the lakeshore to the street. is Goetten said she understood the 1991 Planning Commission recommendation and was of the opinion that this Planning Commission made the right decision in their recommendation. Gaffron inquired if the motion included the 115 s. f. of rock and plastic. Kelley said it did not. Gaffron said omitting it would increase the hardcover percentage proposed. Mitchell said the removal of rock and plastic has already been completed. Kelley then amended the motion to include the removal of 115 s. f. of rock and plastic. Jabbour noted the need to clarify non - structure versus structure with a deck being a structure. Goetten said a deck has always been considered a structure. Goetten asked that the minutes clarify her statement that it be made clear that no further hardcover would be allowed on this property in the future and that the property has reached its hardcover limits. Vote: Ayes 3, Kelley, Callahan, Jabbour; Nays 1, Goetten. 5
