VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0. <br /> (The Orono City Council recessed from 8:35 p.m.to 8:38 p.m.for the HRA meeting) <br /> PLANNING DEPARTMENT REPORT <br /> 8. #16-3814 ALEXANDER DESIGN GROUP ON BEHALF OF PETER AND MELISSA <br /> SANTRACH, 1700 BOHN'S POINT ROAD,REVISED HOUSE LOCATION—RESOLUTION <br /> NO. <br /> Sven Gustafson, Stonewood,LLC,and Kathryn Alexander,Architect,were present. <br /> Gaffron stated in April of 2016,the applicants were granted a variance to allow construction of a new <br /> residence to replace the existing residence on a lot consisting of 0.62 acres in area where 1.0 acres in area <br /> is normally required. <br /> Since that approval the applicants have made revisions to their plan to change the footprint and location <br /> of the structure to be lakeward of the average setback line. In addition,the applicants are requesting <br /> 16.70 percent structural coverage rather than the 14.99 percent originally proposed. Hardcover will <br /> remain at the previously approved percentage. <br /> The increase in structural coverage results in the need for an additional variance that was not originally <br /> applied for nor granted. In the opinion of Staff,the minor building size and location changes lakeward of <br /> the average lakeshore setback line will have a minimal impact on the lake views enjoyed by the adjacent <br /> properties. <br /> Staff does not recommend granting any approval for the increase in structural coverage pending Council <br /> action regarding the structural coverage ordinance. If Council action results in eliminating the need for a <br /> variance,no further review is necessary. If a variance is ultimately required,Staff would recommend that <br /> a new application be filed. <br /> Walsh stated he could not tell on his map if a deck is going into the 0-75 foot area. <br /> Alexander stated the whole building is behind the 75-foot line. Alexander stated to her understanding that <br /> is an elevation. <br /> Walsh stated he did not have any issues with anything else. <br /> Gustafson stated the elevation of the patio is the same as previously. Gustafson indicated the area is all <br /> raised up above grade with foundation retaining walls. Previously that area was filled in with dirt and <br /> now it will be excavated out. <br /> Page 15 of 23 <br />
