MINUTES OF THE ' ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday,September 23,2013 7:00 o'clock p.m. (3. #13-3627 RICHARD ETRHEIMAND REBECCA SHABAZ, 2216 SHADYWOOD ROAD, VARIANCE—RESOL UTION NO. 6323, Contin ued) Staff recommends approval of the variance application. Levang noted Exhibit B,Point No. 6, states that the spa would not be set back much further than the deck of the home to the right,but that when she views the document, it appears that a portion of the spa is in front of the deck. Curtis indicated the applicants will need to address that since those are the answers by the applicant to Staff's questions. Levang noted she also did not notice any minutes from the Planning Commission and that she was wondering how they felt about the application. Curtis stated the item was placed on the Consent Agenda and there was no discussion regarding the application. Thiesse stated the rationale for placing it on the Consent Agenda was that the spa would not be visible from either side by the neighbors and that it seemed to be a reasonable use of the property since it would not impact the neighbors. Levang noted Staffls memorandum reads that the spa would not be set back much farther than the deck to the right. Thiesse stated it is slightly ahead of it and that the Planning Commission was aware of that. Levang indicated her point was that the language is not correct. Levang stated she just wanted to make sure the Planning Commission had responded to Point No. 6. Anderson moved,Printup seconded,to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 6323,a Resolution Granting a Variance to Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1279(6)for the property located at 2216 Shadywood Road.
