MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, February 24, 2014 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />  <br />    Page 4 of 14   <br />(6. #14-3649 DEREK AND KELLY PRCHAL – 4705 WATERTOWN ROAD – VARIANCE – <br />RESOLUTION NO. – TABLED, Continued) <br /> <br />McMillan asked if the garage door could face the driveway. <br /> <br />Prchal indicated they would have to push the structure almost to the center of the property in order to <br />negotiate a trailer in the garage and make the turn. Prchal indicated it is not feasible to back a 20-foot <br />snowmobile trailer in there. <br /> <br />Levang asked where the power pole is located. <br /> <br />Prchal pointed out the location of the power pole and the trees on the overhead. Prchal noted there is also <br />a power pole off the west side of the house as well. <br /> <br />McMillan asked if there would be a driveway constructed to the new building. <br /> <br />Prchal indicated there is an existing class five gravel driveway that goes to the current barn. <br /> <br />McMillan noted the existing driveway is not on the survey. McMillan asked if he would be using the <br />existing driveway. <br /> <br />Prchal stated he would not have to add any driveway going up to the new building if they use the existing <br />gravel pad. Prchal indicated the power line follows the driveway up to the house. <br /> <br />Levang asked why the building could not be located on the west side of the house. <br /> <br />Prchal indicated he would have to remove the four trees for access. Prchal indicated the building would <br />physically fit in that area but access would be difficult. Prchal stated he also does not believe that would <br />meet the setback from the creek. <br /> <br />Levang asked if it could be placed on the east side of the house. <br /> <br />Prchal pointed out the location of the property line on the east side. <br /> <br />Bremer commented this is a property that appears it would have a number of options, but as you go <br />through them, it appears there are not that many available sites. <br /> <br />Prchal stated they enjoy the views from the front yard. Prchal stated he does not want to change anything <br />about the property and that he plans to have the structure match the house. The white fence will remain. <br />Prchal stated he would like to have a building that will fit his needs and allow him to store his personal <br />property inside. <br /> <br />McMillan asked if the building could be put perpendicular to the house in the location of the existing <br />barn. McMillan stated she would prefer not to increase the nonconformity. <br /> <br />Prchal stated in his view the building would be more conspicuous from the roadway since you would be <br />looking at the long side of the building from the road rather than the short side. The building would also <br />have to be pushed further to the east to allow for access.
