MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, September 23, 2013 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />  <br />    Page 2 of 11   <br />(3. #13-3627 RICHARD ETRHEIM AND REBECCA SHABAZ, 2216 SHADYWOOD ROAD, <br />VARIANCE – RESOLUTION NO. 6323, Continued) <br /> <br />Staff recommends approval of the variance application. <br /> <br />Levang noted Exhibit B, Point No. 6, states that the spa would not be set back much further than the deck <br />of the home to the right, but that when she views the document, it appears that a portion of the spa is in <br />front of the deck. <br /> <br />Curtis indicated the applicants will need to address that since those are the answers by the applicant to <br />Staff’s questions. <br /> <br />Levang noted she also did not notice any minutes from the Planning Commission and that she was <br />wondering how they felt about the application. <br /> <br />Curtis stated the item was placed on the Consent Agenda and there was no discussion regarding the <br />application. <br /> <br />Thiesse stated the rationale for placing it on the Consent Agenda was that the spa would not be visible <br />from either side by the neighbors and that it seemed to be a reasonable use of the property since it would <br />not impact the neighbors. <br /> <br />Levang noted Staff’s memorandum reads that the spa would not be set back much farther than the deck to <br />the right. <br /> <br />Thiesse stated it is slightly ahead of it and that the Planning Commission was aware of that. <br /> <br />Levang indicated her point was that the language is not correct. Levang stated she just wanted to make <br />sure the Planning Commission had responded to Point No. 6. <br /> <br />Anderson moved, Printup seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 6323, a Resolution Granting a <br />Variance to Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1279(6) for the property located at 2216 Shadywood <br />Road. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br /> <br />4. #13-3628 THOMAS POTTER ON BEHALF OF RODNEY AND BARBARA BURWELL, <br />1100 MILLSTON ROAD, VARIANCES – RESOLUTION TABLED <br /> <br />Curtis stated the applicant is proposing to construct a 1,664 square foot detached garage which would be <br />considered a second oversized structure on the property 25 feet from the side lot line where a 30-foot <br />setback is required. The property also has an approximate 2,100 square foot maintenance garage on the <br />northwest side of the property. The existing maintenance garage is also considered an oversize accessory <br />structure. The property also has a 995 square foot pool house and a 240 square foot tennis structure in <br />addition to the home. The existing smaller detached garage near the home is proposed to be removed as <br />part of this project. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission placed this item on the Consent Agenda at their September meeting. <br /> <br /> <br />Item #03 - CC Agenda - 10/14/2013 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 09/23/2013 [Page 2 of 11]
