MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, November 14, 2011 7:00 o'clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 11 of 16 (6. 11-3528 TIMOTHY AND DANIELLE KOEHLER, 4205 NORTH SHORE DRIVE, Continued) Koehler indicated he tore it out and that it is 80 percent complete. Rahn asked whether the original plan included a patio. Curtis indicated there was not a patio on the original plan and that the builder added it during construction of the home. There are some discrepancies in the plan but it is not that far over what was originally approved. McMillan asked if the applicant is planning on constructing 112 square feet of patio. Koehler indicated it will be the same size patio that was there originally when he purchased the house. McMillan noted the driveway is 631 square feet and that there is no turnaround being added according to the hardcover calculations. Rahn commented there does need to be a functional driveway and that he does not have an issue with the little pad but that he does have an issue with the lower turnaround. Printup indicated he is okay with the lower turnaround. If the hardcover numbers are unexpectedly high, Staff recommends that the Council revisit it. Printup asked what the Council considers to be unexpectedly high. Rahn commented if it goes over one percent. Rahn noted the requested hardcover is .8 percent. Printup stated he would be comfortable with the Council revisiting this application if the hardcover is one percent or more. The additional hardcover would help make the driveway easier to navigate. Koehler noted they were asked by Staff to include some of these items, which is why it shows up as both existing and proposed. They were asked to put it on as existing hardcover. Curtis stated a portion of the work on the property had been done, and for an existing survey, Staff needed to know what existed and then what was being proposed. Koehler indicated they changed the survey to show the existing and the driveway. Franchot stated that would explain why the numbers are the same. Bremer commented this is why the City now requires as-built surveys. Franchot moved, Bremer seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 6092, a Resolution Granting Variances to Municipal Zoning Code Sections 78-967(b)(3) and 78-1288, Timothy and Danielle Koehler, 4205 North Shore Drive, with the understanding that the Council will review the application again if the final survey shows the additional hardcover to be in excess of one percent of the hardcover listed in the resolution, which is 29.1 percent in the 75-250 foot zone.
