MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON SEPTEMBER 9, 1996 • (94 - #2151 John and Joanne Hurd - Continued) Mabusth noted that the City does not recognize the agreed upon line but shall adress variances to the average lakeshore setback line as defined in zoning code. The property encroaches the code's average lakeshore setback by 11' for the 3 -story bay and the grade level screened porch by 17'. The southwest corner of the main level deck further encroaches this setback line by 20'. The setback line pushes the new construction to the east creating an excess of hardcover in the 250 -500' setback area. The amended plan calls for 23.7% in this zone where 25% is allowed. The 250 -500' zone will consist of an excess of 671 s.f. or 8.9% excess where 30% is allowed overall. Mabusth combined the hardcover totals for the two zones and presented it in that manner. The Planning Commissioners did not seek any additional hardcover removals and supported the application as presented accepting the hardcover excess and the agreed upon setback line. Coombs pointed out that the setback line drawn was an attempt to maintain green space. The projection still encroaching the line was said to not be visible by either neighboring side. He also noted the desire to not disturb the site and maintain the hill and trees. Goetten said she was present at both Planning Commission reviews and appreciated the work of the applicant in working out the situation with their neighbors. She said she personally perfers any excess in hardcover to be located further back on the lot and away from lake. Goetten sees no problem with the existing boathouse as it is attractive and in • excellent condition. She did note, however, that the Council would not look favorably on any future hardcover variance. Jabbour questioned why the 0 -75' and 75 -250' zones were noted together instead of separately. Mabusth said it was done to show the impact of the project on the entire lot adding that this combination has been asked for in the past. Jabbour said he prefers to keep the zones separated to eliminate any clustering by the lake. There were no public comments. Jabbour moved, Kelley seconded, to approve Resolution #3756. Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 0. ( * #5) #2155 NANCY KRAUSE AND DON HANDLIN, 3860 NORTH SHORE DRIVE - SUBDIVISION OF A LOT LINE REARRANGEMENT - RESOLUTION #3757 Jabbour moved, Goetten seconded, to adopt Resolution #3757, approving a subdivision of a lot line rearrangement for Nancy Krause and Dan Handlin and the City of Orono at 3860 North Shore Drive.
