� ' REGULAR MEETING OF THE ORONO COUNCIL, MAY 23 , 1977 Page S � , , • The boat racks for this property were proposed NORTH SHORE DRIVE MARIN� � to be 18 ft. high (plus an optional roof) . This (Continued) height would require a variance to Section �35. 150 (i) . If the height were to be reduced to � 15 ft. or less, the structure would still have to meet the yard setback requirements. • The Inspector met with Mr. Hork on site May 10, • 1977, to appraise the relative merits of various • proposed rack locations. � Proposed Location No. l: along the eas�t property line between the cabin and the office. Setback to � residential lot line would be approximately 25-30 feet requiring. a variance to 35. 172 of * 20-25 feet. This location has the advantage of • the best developed screening consisting of the existing buildings and the thick line of trees � and brush along the property line. This location is probably best in terms of the least visibility � from the road, the lake and the adjoining property. � Proposed Location No. 2 : running west from the existing access drive. This location requires a � small amount of grading to level the site but • has the advantage of being at the base of a rather steep hill covered with trees and brush. Though close to the road, screening would be good as is, �nd could be improved with the addition of thicker, � low-growth shrubbery. This location is furthest from the lake, but is open for visibility from • both east and west adjacent properties. No setback variances required. � • Proposed Location No. 3: set in the center of the existing parking area. This would require no � grading but extensive new landscaping would be necessary to screen the racks from the road, the � lake and the adjoining properties. No setback variances required. � • Proposed Location No. 4 : set east of the access road between the cabin and the highway (or drive- � way to the adjacent house) . This site would require a setback variance per location #l, and � is completely devoid of any existing screening. The only advantage of this site is its remoteness � from the lake. Extensive new screening would be necessary to avoid visual blight on the adjoining � property. � Council Meeting - May 23, 1977 � No one was present from the North Shore P�arina, �although they were notified of the Council meeting. Mr. Herman Renner, 3180 North Shore Drive, complained ' � about noise from the marina area. (Continued) � �
