MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON JULY 22, 1996 ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT • ( * #3) #2025 MICHAEL PLANK, 4115 WATERTOWN ROAD, FINAL SUBDIVISION - RESOLUTION #3741 Jabbour moved, Hurr seconded, to adopt Resolution 43741 of the plat of Maple Place Second Addition. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. ( #4) #2134 ROBERT ALBRECHT, 1810 SHADYWOOD ROAD - AFTER -THE- FACT VARIANCE The applicant was present. Gaffron reported that the Council at their July 8 meeting had conceptually approved an after- the -fact hardcover variance. A draft resolution with conditions and requiring appropriate after - the -fact fees was presented to the Council with the advisory that the property had reached its hardcover limit. Gaffron referred to the resolution, item #3 on page 4 of 6. The applicant had no further comments. Goetten asked that the resolution be clear in its language regarding no further hardcover on the property and asked the attorney to review it. She questioned whether the language was as forceful as it could be. She noted that the July 8 minutes lacked her notation that no further hardcover would be allowed on the property and the property has • reached it hardcover limits. She asked that the minutes be amended to reflect this. Barrett said the draft did attempt to say what was intended but was not presuming to bind a future Council as it did not have the authority to do so. Goetten asked that the resolution be made clear that this Council is against any additional hardcover in the future. Barrett suggested the draft be amended to state, "This Council recommends that no further hardcover variance be granted on this property." Kelley asked if it was the intent of this Council not to approve any future hardcover variance for this property or for increases to hardcover. He noted that the property owner may need a variance in order to switch or trade structure. Jabbour asked that it be worded so the intended change would not require the applicant coming back again before the Council. Goetten responded that the resolution should state that there should not be any increases to hardcover. Callahan said it was not his intent to vote in favor of the approval resolution and a vote may be in order. Kelley noted that the applicant's attorney was not present; and if the vote were such that the resolution be denied, he suggested the application then be tabled. 0 2
