Re: Proposed At'dition - 2801 Casio Point Road, Orono
Dear Mr. Schoenwetter:
The Building 6 Zoning Department is in receipt of your
application for a building permit, which was received by this office
on November 15, 1988. A review of the application finds that a number
of variances are required for the proposed construction:
1. The proposed room addition and deck extend lakeward from the
defined average lakeshore setback line as depicted on the
attached survey, per Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.22,
Subdivision 1 (B), copy attached.
2. Although hardcover in the 75-250' zone will not increase
above the 25% threshold, total proposed hardcover on the property
will now exceed the allowable square footage, based on the
following calculations:
A) 75-250' zone:
Area - 11,300 s.f.
25% = 2,825 s.f. Allowed Hardcover
B) 250-500' zone:
Area - 3,300 s.f.
30% - 990 s.f. Allowed Hardcover
C) 2,825 + 990 - 3,815 B.f. Allowed Hardcover Overall
D) Proposed total a 1,980 s.f. + 2,252 s.f. - 4,232 s.f.
E) Excess hardcover - 4,232 s.f.-3,815 s.f.-417 s.f. Excess

2. The proposed addition and decks, while being located more than 160'
from the normal shoreline, does require an average lakeshore setback
variance due to the convex shoreline at this point. Neither
neighboring property owner enjoys significant lake views across the
area proposed for the addition.
Note that the applicant originally questioned the City's
interpretation of the ordinance language regarding the average
lakeshore setback. A literal interpretation of that section as
written would indicate that a measurement should be taken of the
distance from the shoreline of the houses on either side, and the
middle house must meet the average of those two distances. in fact,
the proposed decks and addition would meet that standard, if that was
how the City had always interpreted the code section. However,
standard City practice has been to draw a straight line between the
neighboring adjacent resident structures, as shown in Exhibit E, and
that is considered the average setback line regardless of actual
distances from the lakeshore. You may recall that this interpretation
was brought to the Planning Commission as an informal conceptual
review at your November meeting, and Planning Commission unanimously
felt that the interpretation of average setback by drawing a straight
line should be continued, not only from a consistency standpoint, but
from a practical application standpoint.
Discussion -
The proposed addition and decks appear to be appropriately and
logically located in relation to the property and to the existing
residence. Note that the house to the immediate south has a garage on its
north side, and has no views of the lake that will he encroached upon by
this propos^d addition. The house to the north side of the subject
property enjoys views generally in a westerly direction, and the existing
bluff topography southwest of the proposed addition already blocxs any
substantial lake views that might potentially be blocked by the proposed
decks. Therefore, it appears that neither adjacent residence will be
significantly affected by this addition.
Zoning File i1362
January 11, 1989
Page 3 of 3
From a hardcover standpoint, the proiosed 417 s.f. excess is quite
typical or even low for the Casco Point neighborhood. As a way to
visualize the seemingly high 68% hardcover in the 250-500' zone, consider
that if the 75-250' zone went all the way to the street, this property
would then have the equivalent of 29% hardcover in the 75-250' zone, with
virtually no hardcover in the 0-75' zone. Approval of this variance would
appear to be very consistent, being generally lesser in magnitude than
similar variances granted on Casco Point in recent times.
Staff Recommendation -
Staff would recommend approval of the proposed hardcover and average
lakeshore setbacks, based cn the following findings:
1. No significant lake views enjoyed by neighboring properties will
be reduced or encroached upon by the proposed additions.
2. Hardcover on the property is slightly excessive based on code
standards but is very consistent with other properties and variance
approvals in the Casco Point area. The proposed additions and
hardcover removals result in a hardcover increase of 417 s.f. There
does not appear to be excessive nor. -structural hardcover on the
property that can be easily removes without causing additional
hardships for use of the property.

Variances and Public Hearing
Dear Mr. Gaffron:
Pursuant to your letter dated January 11, 1989, 1 wish to thank
you for your considerate, comprehensive review of the pertinent facts
associated with Mr. Hauser's requests. I am certain you understand
that this project is of substantial magnitude and value, and very
important to troth Mr. Hauser and all of us at J.M.S. Homes, Inc.
I commend you and your staff on the conclusion of your
recommendation. I understand this conclusion indicates that Mr. Hauser's
request is of little or Insignificant consequence In relation to � City's
policies/ordinances. Yet, at the same time, this project remo.,A from
some minds, what might be thought a blight to the neighborhood,
creating a very attractive amenity, complimenting the entire
neighborhood, while actually being commensurate witn the City's goals.
Again, we appreciate your careful cn--'I+ration of this matter and
look forward to seeing you at the I Commission meeting,

POBLIC HEARING 8:25 P.M. - 8:40 P.M.
'fhe Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were
duly noted.
The applicant was present for this matter, as was Mr. Jeff
Schoenwetter, the applicants' developer.
Assistant Planning and Zoning Administrator Gaffron
explained that this was a request for variances to construct an
addition and decking to an existing residence. A variance will
be required for hardcover in the 250-500' zone. An average
lakeshore setback variance will also be required.
Chairman Kelley clarified that even though the applicant was
allowed credit for unused hardcover allowance in the 0-75' and
75-250' zones, he still exceeded the limit by 417 s.f due to
excessive hardcover in the 250-500' zone. Kelley suggested that
hardcover be removed from the garage area. Mr. Hauser indicated
that the portion of hardcover to the north of the garage was of
least importance and could be removed. Plarning Commissioner
Hanson inquired as to the size of the garage doors. Mr. Hauser
replird that they were standard size for a two -car garage.
Hanson suggested removing a portion of the access to achieve the
417 s.f. Mr. Hauser felt that would not be necessary. Kelley
suggested allowing the applicant to remove the 417 s.f. from any
location he chose.
Gaffron explained that there was a curve on Casco Point that
limited sight distance from Mr. Hauser's driveway. He believed
it would be best, from a safety standpoint, to maintain a turn-
around area in Mr. fi:user's driveway. Bellows concurred, adding
that the 417 s.f. removal could be achieved by taking hardcover
from the north of the garage, and a small portion from south of
garage. Mr. Hauser stated that he required the area to the south
for additional parki-g. Planning Commissioner Brown suggested
removal of the walkway in the front of the house. Mr. Hauser
stated that he would remove the 417 s.f. and leave the turn-
around.
Planning Commissioner Cohen stated that in his opinion, the
average lakeshore setback variance should not be allowed. He
believed the City had been consistent in upholding the average.
Gaffron said that he had not received any letters from concerned
neighbors, nor were any present for this meeting. Kelley asked
RINUTRS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING JANUARY 17, 1989
80NIMG PILE i1362-HRUSER CONTINUED
the applicant if he had discussed this proposal with his
neighbors? Mr. Hauser replied that he had and the neighbor to
the south had no objections. Mr. Schoenwetter explained that the
neighbor to the north had no opinion, mainly because he was
selling his house and moving to Florida.
Bellows commented that the 'leap frogging" circumstance was
typically considere.i when reviewing average lakeshore setbacks.
She questioned what would happen to the property directly north
of Mr. Rauser'n. Gaffron depicted the lakeshore setbacks for the
properties to the north. Kelley observed that if one were to
draw a line between the two houses on the north to the south, it
would run out 7ntn the lake. The same would occur on the south
side. This is typical of properties located on points or
peninsula's, as is this property.
There were no comments from the public regarding this matter
and the public hearing was closed.
It was moved by Chairman Kelley, seconded by Planning
Commissioner Cohen, to recommend approval of application t1362,
subject to a hardcover reduction of 417 a.f. from whatever source
available, and to approve th.: average lakeshore setback as
defined. The hardships of this application would be the property
being located on the point and the addition being 160' from the
lakeshore. Motion, Ayese7, NayS-0, Motion passed.

The applicants were present for this matter.
As explained by Assistant Planning and Zoning Administrator
Gaffron, the Berry's were seeking variances in order to demolish
an existing residence and rebuild. Curr.ntly the hardcover on
the property consists of a detached garage, as well as a driveway
that continues uphill to the existing house. The proposal calls
for a new residence with a porch, deck and attached garage. The
driveway would remain in the same area, but would become slightly
steeper. It is the intention of the Berry's to maintain the
detached garage. In order to access the new, attached garage, it
will be necessary to raise a portion of the yard by bringing in
fill in the south 0-75' zone. The Berry's are proposing a walk-
out which will require grading to be done within the north 0-75'
zone. One of the reasons the Berry's preferred not to locate the
house further back to meet the average setback, is to preserve a
mature red oak tree. Gaffron said it would be necessary to make
a 2' cut in order to achieve the walk -out.

Exhibit B - Planning Commission Minutes of 1/17/89
Exhibit C - Memo 6 Exhibits of 1/11/89
Exhibit D - Resolution
Discussion -
Please review the memo and exhibits of January 11, 1989. The
applicant is proposing to construct an addition to his existing house,
which is located more than 160' from the shoreline. The average lakeshore
setback variance is required due to the relative locations of neighboring
residences. The hardcover variance is due to excess hardcover in the 250-
500' zone.
Planning commission Recommendation -
The Planning Commission reviewed this item at their meeting of January
17, 1989, and recommended approval of the average lakeshore setback
variance in conjunction with removal of existing hardcover in the driveway
area to result in no need for a hardcover variance on the property.
Approximately 417 s.f. of existing hardcover must be removed to accomplish
this. The Planning Commission recommended the further condition that the
property owner shall submit for staff approval a plan showing which hard-
cover &ream will be removed, prior to issuance of a building permit for the
proposed additions.
Staff Recommendation -
Staff would recommend approval based on the Planning Commission
recommendation, per the attached resolution.
