MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, April 27, 2009 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />PAGE 6 <br />(4. #08-3378 MICHAEL AND JULIE WHITTINGTON, 1981 FAGERENESS POINT <br />ROAD, Continued) <br /> <br />Whittington stated it is approximately six feet into the setback. <br /> <br />Turner stated the house offsets back five feet, so the pergola would encroach closer to seven feet <br />into the average lakeshore setback. <br /> <br />Whittington indicated they would be willing to relocate the house but they are unable to do that <br />due to the topography. <br /> <br />White stated typically applicants will look at eliminating hardcover by reducing the size of the <br />house or narrowing down the driveway. White stated in his view the applicant will need to <br />reduce the hardcover further, especially given the recommendation of the Planning Commission. <br />White concurred that it would be difficult to reduce the driveway in this situation. <br /> <br />Turner commented the property has an unusual shape, which results in the lakeshore having an <br />irregular shape. <br /> <br />McMillan asked how many square feet the driveway would consist of. <br /> <br />Whittington indicated they would like a 12-foot width apron up near the garage and that they <br />have proposed 10 feet for the remainder of the driveway, which consists of approximately 70 <br />square feet. <br /> <br />McMillan asked what the other additional hardcover consists of. <br /> <br />Whittington stated it consists of a deck in the back and a deck in the front. <br /> <br />Turner stated the deck is located on the Fagerness Point side and consists of approximately 75 <br />feet, and then the patio area on the west side consists of 315 square feet. Turner illustrated the <br />pool, the pool deck, and the areas of hardcover in the front and back. <br /> <br />Whittington noted the hardcover for the deck and the patio is 390 square feet. The size of the two <br />structures has been reduced from 420 square feet to 390 square feet. <br /> <br />Murphy asked whether this is the spot where the house has to sit. <br /> <br />Turner stated it is. <br /> <br />Murphy asked whether the driveway has to be at an angle and what the width of the driveway <br />should be. <br /> <br />Kellogg asked what the grade of the current driveway is. <br /> <br />Turner indicated the majority of the driveway is at 10 percent but that there are some areas where <br />it possibly is over that. <br /> <br />Kellogg noted the City’s standard is 10 percent. <br />Item #02 - CC Agenda - 05/11/09 <br />Council Minutes 04/27/09 [Page 6 of 18]
