MINUTES OF THE ' ORONO CTTY COUNCIL MEETING Moaday,March 14,2016 7:00 o'clock p.m. 4. #16-38Q3 STONEWOOD,LI.C,Olv BEHALF OF TASHTTAA TUFAA, 183Q SHORFT.nv�:Dg��VAR�A��TCES AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT(contlnued) Tufaa stat�d one of the reasons they would like to move to this lot is to enjoy the lakeshore. Tufaa atated thcy have listened very carefully to the neighbors and the CQu.ncil and that they do not want to be greadY or seifish a�xi instead be a pact af the community. As a result,they have given up having their house elaser to the lake. 1�faa stated he hopes evers►thing will be appmved tonight and that he would humbly and�sg�kfi�lly ask that the Cauncil apprc�ve his application. Tom Klint,Architect,stated between the last Council m�ting and this meeting,the biggest change that was nzade after sgealQng with the neighbors was moving the house further away from the lake. Klint stated the nei�hbore were veiy vancerned about keeping the homes in tine so no one's view was restiicted,which resulted in them maving th�house back to make it more in line with the other hoines. Klir�t stated he p�y�ically met with the�djoining hameowner onsite and that�e indicated he oould five with the hause wb�ere it is now being propos�d. Klint aoted the side yard s�tback encroachment has been r�educed and is now at 34.8. Klint stated the houee on the oorner ofHeritage Lane and Shoreline Drive to the north of this property is at 32.8. Klint sta�ed he knowa the Council had a hard time at the last meeting giving them a hard number on wl�at ths setback shauld be reduced to and that they arrived at that number,which is less of an encroaehment thaa the neighbor across the srroet. Sven Gust,afscro stated if it was red�iced any further,the design suffered aud the house was no longer functional. Klint stated they also reduced ffie overall mass that is in the encroachment. The�oflines have been br�ought dvwn and the house has been shnink in the area of the encro�chment. The footprint has been redu�ced by 130 square feet,which oquates to nearly 4,U00 cubic feet of structure that was orig�nally in the side setback. Kl"mt stated they alsfl looked at rotating the house and making it perallel to the lot line. Klint stated what that actu,ally did was make the house enaroach upcm the aide yard setba�ck even fiuther. Gustaf'son�tated they actually modeled the house and redrew the plans with the garage door on the end and a garage door on the side. The decision not to do that was that,rnunber one�the homeowner did aot like the loak of th�e bouse,which was a prioritp;and number two,and it did not make the situatioa any better,which led them back to the original design. Klint stated since the original desiga is not parallel to the lot line,the maitt view of the property is a little angled and pr�vents someone from looking straight window to window. Klint indicated they also redesigned the garage doors to b�on the Heritage I.a�ke side,wl�ich r�sulted in a lot morE asphalt oa Heritage Laae and resulted in the garage loolcing a lot more like a garage at that point when s�meone drives by it. Klint stated in their view this was a better design in the long run. Klint nated the other concern raised at the last meeting was the size of the hause. Kli�pointed out that the lot consis�s of 1.66 aGres Rud that they are allowed to cover 15 percent of the lvt by the Zoning Code, whieh gives them 10,845 squar�e feet. The proposed house print is 4,�00 square feet,which is not even half of what wnuld be allowed. The haase is also under the maximum building height aad way uuder hardcover restrictions. Klint stated this is a large lot and can accommodate a large house quite well. Page b of 37
