MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Tuesday,January 17,2017 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Schoenzeit moved,Landgraver seconded,to recommend approval of Application No. 17-3886, <br /> Hennepin County Emergency Management,3880 Shoreline Drive,granting of a conditional use <br /> permit to construct and operate a mesonet weather station. VOTE: Ayes 4,Nays 0. <br /> 3. #17-3887 REVISION,LLC, ON BEHALF OF GEOFFREY AND STEPHANIE MARTHA, <br /> 2092 SHADYWOOD ROAD,VARIANCES,6:40 P.M.—6:58 P.M. <br /> John Daly, Revision, LLC, and Stephanie Martha,Applicant,were present. <br /> Curtis noted revised calculations and a survey have been placed before the Planning Commission this <br /> evening regarding this application. Those revisions were submitted earlier today. <br /> Curtis stated the property currently contains a small house and garage. The applicant is requesting a side <br /> setback variance and a Tier 1 hardcover variance in order to construct improvements to make the existing <br /> house and garage more functional. <br /> The applicants initially requested a hardcover variance to permit 25.7 percent hardcover. Currently the <br /> site has 25.6 percent hardcover. The allowable hardcover in this district is 25 percent. After reviewing <br /> Staff's recommendations,the applicant revised their plans with a reduced hardcover of 25.5 percent. The <br /> service door landing was omitted,the driveway was narrowed down, and a proposed patio was <br /> eliminated. <br /> The applicants are also requesting a side setback variance. The applicant proposes to connect an existing <br /> detached garage that will be situated 1.3 feet from the south side lot line to the home with an addition. <br /> This connection would result in the detached garage becoming part of the principal structure. The <br /> existing home is currently conforming with respect to setbacks,but the connection would make the <br /> principal structure nonconforming as the house would no longer meet the required 10-foot side setback. <br /> The structural coverage level is proposed to increase by over 1,000 square feet, and although conforming <br /> to the massing limitations,it results in the need for a variance to increase hardcover over the existing <br /> nonconforming level, 470 square feet in excess of the permitted level. Initially Staff had concerns about <br /> the resulting hardcover increase,but with the revised plan, Staff does not have any concerns. <br /> With respect to the setback variance for the principal structure connection,the location of the existing <br /> structures may support the variance. The applicant should be asked to describe in detail the intended <br /> project. <br /> Staff would support the variance for the connection since there will not be a substantial change for the <br /> adjacent property owner. Staff did receive one phone call from another neighbor asking for clarification <br /> on the address but he did not express any concerns with the proposed project. <br /> The Planning Commission had no questions for Staff. <br /> John Daly,Revision, LLC, stated he would be available to answer any questions the Planning <br /> Commission may have. <br /> Schoenzeit asked whether the existing garage has frost footings so it can be attached. <br /> Page 3 of 15 <br />
