RI,GULAR Mf;E'I'Ir1G OF THE ORONO COUNCIL, P!IARCH 10 , 1980 Page 3 <br /> Council Meeting - March 10 , 1980 VARIANCE <br /> 2160 Wayzata Boulevard <br /> Butler moved, Hurr seconded, to approve the variance (Continued) <br /> request of William Wear, 2160 Wayzata Boulevard, <br /> subject to implementing and completinc� a landscape <br /> plan. Motion , Ayes (4) - Nays {0) . <br /> Jean D4abusth, Zoning Administrator, entered into CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT <br /> the record the request of David J. Butler, 4685 4685 North Shore Drive <br /> North Shore Drive , for a conditional use permit, #537 <br /> dated March 7 , 1980 , which states : David Butler <br /> Mr. Butler has taken a one-time cabin and expanded <br /> it into a very large year-round house. In 1976 , <br /> he received a variance (#194) to add an 18 ' X 30 ' <br /> addition onto the existing 540 sq. ft. house. In <br /> 1978 , he received a second variance (#382) for a <br /> second addition of 1,620 sq. ft. , plus a three-car <br /> garage. He now finds that he cannot use the drive- <br /> way year-round because of its slope so is requesting <br /> permission to construct an additional 10 ' wide <br /> driveway down the hill to Rest Point Lane. <br /> The original cabin had all parking located on <br /> the top of the hill perpenducul_ar to County Road <br /> 19 in an attempt to reduce the grade (we have no <br /> County permit for this drive either) . <br /> We do not have engineering drawings , but the alley <br /> location has been surveyed and staked. It is <br /> apparent that grading and filling would be required <br /> to cons.truct the driveway and the erosion and <br /> drainage control details would be important. The <br /> embankment around his house would require a significant <br /> excavation and/or retaining wall. <br /> It is equally obvious that the existing driveways <br /> are too steep to be usable and that they exit onto <br /> County Road 19 in a hazardous manner. There is no <br /> landing on top of the driveways and the slope, <br /> coupled with cars parked in the parking stalls , <br /> reduces sight distance to nil. The Rest Point access <br /> would be safer with bettersight distance and less <br /> traffic. The slope is still steep, however. <br /> The proposal has been reviewed by Chief Kilbo, John <br /> Gerhardson, Alan Olson, Jean Mabusth, Tom Jacobs , <br /> and the Planning Commission. We all feel that the <br /> � Rest Point driveway is reasonable, prQviding it is <br /> constructed according to approved plans. The only <br /> issue is the existing entries onto County Road 19. <br /> (Continued) <br />
