MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, June 8, 2009 7:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ PAGE 5 of 12 (3. #09-3395 GEORGE N. BAGLEY ON BEHALF OF RALPH COLT BAGLEY ESTATE, 1105 FERNDALE ROAD WEST, Continued) White recommended the siding of the house, trim, and shingles be more natural in color. White stated he is in agreement with Council Member McMillan that when the house is increased to two stories, there should be additional separation between the two residences. Kellogg noted some grading work has been proposed between the two houses already to accommodate drainage. Turner pointed out the two houses are offset somewhat and that only a portion of them will overlap. Bremer moved, Franchot seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 5841, a Resolution Granting Variances to the Orono, Minnesota, City Code Sections 78-305, 78-1279, 78-119, and 78-1288, and a Conditional Use Permit for Land Alteration Within the Lakeshore Setback, for the Property Located at 1105 Ferndale Road West. Murphy asked if Staff is aware of the reason why the applicant is not present tonight. Turner stated she is not sure. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 1. McMillan indicated she is in opposition to the motion due to the 5-foot side yard setback variance. Bremer noted the applicant had an attorney appear at the first meeting. Murphy indicated his concern regarding the absence of the applicant and/or a representative is that it may create some issues with this application in the future. 4. #09-3402 PHILIP F. KALEY, 1395 BROWN ROAD SOUTH – VARIANCES Philip Kaley, Applicant, was present. Turner stated the applicant is requesting setback variances to construct a detached garage four feet from the north property line when a 15-foot setback is required and two feet from the property line adjacent to Arbor Street when a 30-foot setback is required as well as a variance to have 15.89 percent structural coverage when the maximum allowed is 15 percent. The Planning Commission voted 7 to 0 to recommend: 1. Denial of the structural coverage variance, limiting structural coverage to 15 percent. The garage could be no larger than 750 square feet according to the current calculations. 2. Approval of setback variances to allow a 25-foot deep by 30-foot wide garage placed so the south wall of the garage is in line with the north wall of the house (approximately 5.8 feet from the north property line) and so the southeast corner of the garage is 10 feet from the house and approximately eight feet from the right-of-way of Arbor Street.
