MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, February 12, 2018 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />Crosby stated the City Council has been accommodating with the structural coverage and that he does not <br />believe this home will be super high. <br />Printup noted it will be higher than what currently exists. <br />Crosby stated the proposed house has a fairly -high roofline that is mostly decorative. Crosby stated in his <br />view it is a two-story structure and that someone could put in stairs and living space up there. <br />Printup stated the neighbor will be looking at a 30 -foot wall with a two-story house. <br />Walsh stated there is some give and take and that if there is limited space, they will go up. <br />Crosby stated there are already two-story homes in the neighborhood. <br />Printup noted it is on a corner and on a narrow street. <br />Walsh stated the developer is willing to keep it on one level, which will keep the height down. <br />Printup stated the neighbors do not want to see tall houses in this neighborhood. <br />Seals asked what the current structural coverage is. <br />Oakden indicated it is around 1,750 feet with a one -car garage. <br />Walsh stated the Council would basically be giving them extra structural coverage for a larger garage. <br />Crosby stated the City has already raised the structural coverage for smaller lots. <br />Printup stated the proposed house would be centered more on the lot and would look over the swimming <br />pool. On the other side of the street the neighbor's house is two-story. Printup stated the streets in this <br />area are very narrow and there is a little bit of a slope on the lot. <br />17. #18-4000 JEFF MARTINEAU ON BEHALF OF BARBARA GARCIA,1335 ARBOR <br />STREET, VARIANCES, 7:48 P.M. — 8:26 P.M. — Continued <br />Dankey noted some larger lots have not been given anything additional and that in this situation they have <br />a small lot that is requesting a bunch of variances. Dankey stated they could keep the same footprint or <br />go up to 2,000 square feet. <br />Walsh stated he would be more willing to grant some flexibility if the roofline is kept down. <br />Seals stated the roofline looks tall to her and that a two-story would match some of the other homes in the <br />neighborhood. <br />Dankey commented not having a lawn will also be noticeable. <br />Page 11 of 22 <br />
