MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING HELD ON JULY 8, 1996 <br />• ( #7 - #2136 Greenfield Corporation - Continued) <br />Jabbour asked to poll the Council for their current view. Hurr said she would like to <br />review the rest of the development in the area. Kelley said if Outlot B was eliminated, <br />there would be no need for the variance. Callahan said he was concerned with tabling as <br />the applicant has responded to prior direction given and is being asked to come back <br />again. He would like to see no variances required. Goetten said her opinion is as <br />previously stated. Kelley noted that the developer has brought the problems upon himself <br />when asking for a variance in the first place. <br />Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />( #8) #2137 WILLIAM DUNKLEY, 2709 WALTERS PORT LANE - VARIANCE <br />The applicant was represented by Dale Gustafson and Carl Smith. <br />Gaffron reported that a previous request for a number of variances resulted in an addition <br />to the existing residence of a new entry, retaining walls, and changes to the driveway. <br />The house is located entirely within the 0 -75' zone. The application is a proposal to <br />replace the deck with a small room that includes a therapeutic pool. The Planning <br />Commission reviewed the application at their past two meetings and suggested lowering <br />the roof line or moving the pool to an opposite side of the house. The applicant then <br />is revised the proposal to include a lowered shed -type roof. The addition would meet the <br />10' setback but encroaches past the average lakeshore setback line. It also intensifies the <br />hardcover in the 0 -75' zone. The lot coverage by structure would increase from 15.6% <br />to 16.7 %. <br />0 <br />Gaffron reported that the Planning Commission recommended approval as proposed <br />noting a decrease in hardcover of 23 s.f. They found the visual impact from the addition <br />would be similar to what exists. The applicant's representative showed that the other <br />options considered were not feasible. Hardcover in the 0 -75' zone would decrease from <br />35.4% to 35.2 %. The 75 -250' zone would remain the same at 49 %. A large amount of <br />hardcover was removed during the last application review. <br />Goetten inquired what the original hardcover percentages were. Gaffron said the 0 -75' <br />zone was around 40 %, with 74% in the 75 -250' zone. <br />The representatives had no additional comments at this time. <br />9 <br />
