Candace Rowlette was absent. The following represented the City Staff: Zoning Administrator Jeanne Mabusth, Septic Manager Stephen Weckman, and City Recorder Teri Naab. Edward Callahan, Gabriel Jabbour and JoEllen Hurr were present. Chair Bellows called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. W) #1813 LEONARD O. NISKA, 2304/2308 SHADYWOOD DRIVE - SUBDIVISION CREATING PRIVATE EASEMENT PUBLIC HEARING 7:00 - 7:30 P.M. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. Jayne Kvhar, applicant's attorney was present. Mr. Niska arrived • during the discussion. Mabusth noted earlier in 1992, the City granted a conditional use permit for the storage shed structure located on this through lot. The principal structure encroaches the adjacent property. The owner is in the process of selling his property and the buyer has requested an easement for maintenance of the house, and the adjacent neighbor has indicated he does not wish to sell a portion of his property. Kvhar added this issue needs to be resolved for title purposes, and they felt this was the best solution. Bellows stated she is uncomfortable creating this type of easement, and felt they would be setting an unfortunate precedent. She noted the easement lacked adequate controls on time restraints for existence of the encroaching structure and felt this could be subject for abuse in the future. Kvhar suggested the easement be allowed to remain as long as the residence is located on the property. Mabusth stated they have not considered a request such as this in the past. • Bellows stated she would be loath to allow rebuilding a residence if the existing were removed on this substandard parcel, and felt by allowing the easement they would be locked into doing so. 1 • MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD APRIL 19, 1993 ZONING FILE #1813 — CONT. Mabusth noted if the house were destroyed, a lot area and width variance would be needed to rebuild. Bellows stated they are asking for the creation of something highly irregular. Kvhar noted, if approved, they would be responsible for the creation of necessary documents. Cohen inquired about exchanging land with the adjacent property owner. Niska arrived, and stated the neighbor was unwilling to consider, in part because the land to the back of the property is more usable to him Mabusth said the easement area is 32.5 s.f., or a 7" encroachment. • Pat Brickley, adjacent neighbor, said he was not totally in opposition to the exchange of land, and just thought the easement was the easiest way to remedy the situation Johnson stated he was not opposed to the easement, and felt either way the lot line is contrived. Cohen reiterated it is the precedent of the issue they are concerned with. It was moved by Cohen, seconded by Peterson, to recommend denial of the easement request for Application #1813, Leonard Niska, 2304/2308 Shadywood Road, but to recommend approval of a lot line rearrangement between the two properties, assuming both owners agree to such. Ayes 5, nays 0. ( #4) #1818 RUSSELL LUND ESTATE, 905 TONKAWA ROAD - PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION - PUBLIC HEARING 8:25 - 8:40 P.M. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. Tracey Lund and Mark Gronberg were present. Mabusth reviewed this is a two lot subdivision, and noted both lots meet the 1 acre zoning standards of the LR -1B zoning district. The • existing shed on the proposed shared lot shall be removed. She referred to past conditional use permit approval for independent antenna structures, and suggested removal of such. 2 E MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD APRIL 19, 1993 ZONING FILE #1818 — CONT. Mabusth noted total hardcover for the developed lot will be 16.6 %, with excesses in the 0 -75' and 250 -500' zones. Bellows suggested adjusting the lot line to eliminate the overage of hardcover. Gronberg noted that they are well under the maximum allowed in zones nearer the lake, and suggested by adjusting the lot line, the City would be encouraging the developer of the vacant parcel to build closer to the lake because of the reduced area in the 250- 500' zone. Bellows stated it would still be a 2 acre buildable lot. Gronberg indicated it appears they are being penalized for building the existing house further from the lake. Lund stated they are trying to keep a balance between the two lots • and to move the lot line to accommodate hardcover would be disruptive. Gabriel Jabbour suggested they consider the average lakeshore setback with respect to the properties. Johnson inquired about the history of the paved ramp to the lake. Lund stated it was originally installed for private access to the lake. He indicated the vacant lot has steeper terrain to the lake and expressed concern about access. Mabusth referred to the 20' wide sewer easement within the undeveloped lot which serves no purpose and suggested the vacation of such. Lund questioned whether the pad for the antenna located within the kennel structure could remain. Mabusth stated she would like to inspect the kennel area, and said it would have to be made clear to a future owner that it could not be used for an antenna structure without City approval. Johnson felt the ramp to the lake should be removed as it adds water and contaminants to the lake and is located within the 0- 75' zone. • Gronberg felt they would be creating an additional erosion problem if the ramp were removed as slopes in this area are 12 -15 %. 3 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD APRIL 19, 1993 ZONING FILE #1818 - CONT. Lund noted that since it was installed they have struggled with ground cover in this area due to erosion. Johnson felt that was not an issue as clay could be compacted and the area sodded. Lund said he would need to confer with the other half of the estate before agreeing. It was moved by Johnson, seconded by Cohen, to recommend approval of Application #1818 for Russell Lund Estate, 905 Tonkawa Road, approving a preliminary subdivision subject to conditions set forth in the staff memo and the removal of the asphalt ramp to the lake in the 0 -75' zone on Parcel B. Ayes 5, nays 0. ( #5) #1806 JON & SHIRLEY BILLIGMEIER, 2935 FARVIEW LANE - • VARIANCES - CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING 7:15 - 7:18 P.M. Mr. and Mrs. Billigmeier were present for this application. Mabusth explained at the last review of this request the applicant was asked to confirm the alternate drainfield site and to have surveyor locate the proposed court on the survey. The location of the alternate septic site has been confirmed, and the applicant has agreed that the tennis court be moved 5' further from the road, maintaining a 17' setback. The structure is also located in front of the principle structure Bellows stated all other issues were addressed at the previous review. Mabusth added they have not rece i ved any negat i ve comments f rom the neighbors. It was moved by Bellows, seconded by Cohen, to recommend approval of Application #1806 for Jon and shirley Billigmeier, 2935 Farview Lane, approving a street setback variance of 33' and allowing the accessory structure to be placed in front of the principle structure, per conditions set forth in the memo and that there be no outside lighting. Ayes 5, nays 0. ( #6) #1807 SUSAN MARIE SUMEY, 1330 CHERRY PLACE - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT /VARIANCE - PUBLIC HEARING 7:18 - 7:24 P.M. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. 4 • MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD APRIL 19, 1993 ZONING FILE #1807 — CONT. Ms. Sumey was present. Mabusth explained this application involves major filling and grading in the lakeshore yard to eliminate a severe erosion problem, and to save a 2+ inch diameter e l m tree. She noted the applicant has submitted an amended proposal addressing all of staff's concerns and requests. She said there is no need for further review by other agencies. Sumey presented photos showing the rip rap was in existence. Bellows commended her for quickly resolving issues brought up by staff. Mabusth added this form of restoration is excellent. It was moved by Schroeder, seconded by Peterson, to recommend approval of Application #1807 for Susan Marie Sumey, 1330 Cherry • Place, approving a conditional use permit and variance to allow filling and grading in the lakeshore yard. Ayes 5, nays 0. ( #7) #1808 JAMES R. ABRAHAMSON, 4630 TONKAVIEW LANE — VARIANCE — PUBLIC HEARING 7:24 — 7:30 P.M. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. Mr. and Mrs. Abrahamson were present for this application. Weckman explained the applicants request a lot area variance to build a residence on this substandard property. He noted the similar type of development in the area. He added there is no additional acreage that the applicants could purchase. The access easement is provided for this property across Parcel D. Bellows noted this request is slightly below the 80% margin allowed by code without variance approval. Cohen asked if the applicants knew this was an unbuiI dab le lot when they purchased it. Mr. Abrahamson stated their purchase is contingent upon approval of the variance request. He added, a new residence is being constructed on Parcel B. It was moved by Johnson, seconded by Schroeder, to recommend • approval of Application #1808 James R. Abrahamson, 4630 Tonkaview Lane, approving a lot area variance to construct a new residence. Ayes 5, nays 0. 5 F-7 u MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD APRIL 19, 1993 ( #8) #1809 DANIEL & BARBARA HOFFMAN, 1135 HERITAGE LANE VARIANCES - PUBLIC HEARING 7:32 - 7:44 P.M. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. Mr. and Mrs. Hoffman were present. Weckman explained the applicants request a lot area, front and side setback variances to reconstruct their home destroyed by fire. The lot is 1.1 acres in a 2 acre zone. The house is proposed to be constructed with the same setbacks as the existing. He added there is an increase in hardcover, but total is still below the maximum allowed. Cohen inquired about the separation from the gazebo. The Hoffmans replied they would be willing to move it over to meet the 10' separation setback. • Weckman stated the existing septic system was found to be non- conforming and a new system will be required. The property does not contain an alternate site, a condition similar to many in the neighborhood. Johnson questioned the need for the 5' setback. Mr. Hoffman stated if the house were moved over, they would have to deal with drastic elevation drops, which would be more expensive and require additional fill and retaining walls. It was moved by Peterson, seconded by Johnson, to recommend approval of Application #1809 Daniel and Barbara Hoffman, 1135 Heritage Lane, for lot area, side and front setback variances to construct a new residence. Ayes 5, nays 0. ( #9) #1810 HENRY DENERO, 1245 6TH AVENUE NORTH - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - PUBLIC HEARING 7:45 - 7:50 P.M. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. Nancy DeNero was present. Weckman explained there is an existing caretaker's apartment above the existing garage and attached by a breezeway to the main house. Bellows asked if there are footings for the breezeway. L • 0 • MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD APRIL 19, 1993 ZONING FILE #1810 - CONT. Weckman stated to his knowledge there is just block under this area. He said the apartment has its own access door to the exterior. He said this use has existed for many years. Recently the owners applied for a permit to upgrade the apartment, and it was determined they would need a conditional use permit. Bellows asked that this be referred to as a guest house, and clarified that they would not allow the renting of this area. She stated that assuming there are no footings under the breezeway, they can treat this area as a separate building, thereby allowing the independent exterior access. DeNero noted the residence was built in 1937 and is a landmark to the area. She stated the house has been restored and maintained that way. They only wish to upgrade the electrical and other safety features. It was moved by Bellows, seconded by Cohen, to recommend approval of Application #1810 Henry DeNero, 1245 6th Avenue North, approving a conditional use permit for a guest house use. Ayes 5, nays 0. ( #10) #1811 C. JACK REMIEN, 3237 CASCO CIRCLE - VARIANCES - PUBLIC HEARING 7:50 - 8:25 P.M. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. Mr. Remien was present. Weckman noted this is a variance request has been approved three times in the past. He noted the applicant wants to assure buildability prior to selling. The preliminary plans appear to meet height and hardcover requirements. He reviewed previously approved hardships for this property, and noted the common ownership policy of the City. He stated many lots in the area are of similar size. He referred to one objection letter from the neighboring property owners and a letter submitted by Remien providing background information. Bellows read the letter from Remein. Warren and Christine Bielke expressed strong opposition. He stated the lot is substandard, and there are issues that were not discussed with previous variance review. 7 • • MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD APRIL 19, 1993 ZONING FILE #1811 — CONT. Mrs. Bielke stated when they purchased their property, the variance had not yet been approved. She noted they along with Remien opposed the first variance request, prior to Remien purchasing the parcel. She read a letter from their attorney presenting reasons for denial. She referred to Section 10.08 dealing with variance approval regarding the health, safety and welfare of the public, and suggested the erosion problem in this area should make the lot unbuildable as it would be adding to the problem and would be detrimental to the neighborhood. She added they did have their house Iisted prior to this situation, but felt this may depreciate the value of their home. She felt this request does not meet the criteria for approval, and suggested this lot be combined with Lot 19. Mr. Nisiedlak, potential buyer of Lot 18, advised that the house will be built back from the Lakeshore and will not add to the erosion problem. He felt the house he would build would not lower the standards of the neighborhood, and said he would be wiIIIng to supply the Bielkes with plans to present to potential purchasers of their property. Weckman reviewed that the sewer connection stub for Lots 16 and 17 is located within the boundary of Lot 18. Mrs. Bielke stated it is 3.5' within the boundary of Lot 18, and added they were unaware of that situation when they purchased their property. She said the records of the City indicate that Lot 18 was unbuildable and that is why the sewer line was placed within its boundary. Mabusth disagreed, and stated the three parcels Lots 16, 17 and 18 were owned in common at the time of installation of that pipe, and that is why it was placed on Lot 18. Mrs. Bielke read from memo from Gaffron to the City Council dated December 1985 which states, "they do not anticipate that Lot 18 would become buildable ". Bellows indicated that statement means the BIeIkes need a new stub to their property. She felt hard pressed to deny the request because of past approvals. She noted the property has changed hands several times as a buildable lot, and this request would not set a new precedent in the neighborhood. 8 • MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD APRIL 19, 1993 ZONING FILE #1811 - CONT. It was moved by Bellows, seconded by Cohen, to recommend approval of Application #1811 for C. Jack Remien, 3237 Casco Circle, approving lot area and width variances to construct a new residence. Johnson said he respects the position of all involved parties, and could not support the request as he felt the property should be combined with Lot 19 as one condition for approval is that no additional land is available. Bellows felt that was an incorrect interpretation of the code. Mabusth rioted the code specifically states that substandard lots, whether in single separate or commonly owned, are to be judged on their own merits. The finding that no additional land is available was validated during the variance review because at the time the lot was not owned in common with adjacent lots. • Peterson felt approval requires too many variances. Schroeder questioned why the neighbors did not buy the parcel. Mrs. B i e I ke stated they were unaware that i t was for sa I e unt i I too late. Jay and Gay R i chards, 3243 Casco C i rc I e, stated they were g i ven the impression that Remien purchased the parcel for use in conjunction with Lot 19. He said the only reason why the City approved the variance in the past was because it had been taxed as buildable, and an attorney owned it at the time and the City did not want to be brought into legal action. Bellows felt that issue was not pertinent. Vote: Ayes 3, nays 2. Johnson and Peterson voted nay. ( #11) #1812 THOMAS PATRICK GOODYEAR, 712 TONKAWA ROAD VARIANCES - PUBLIC HEARING 8:40 - 9:05 P.M. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. Mr. Goodyear was present. Mabusth reviewed the applicants request to add a second story to • the existing residence, including the addition of a 2'+ expansion into the right side yard to square off the foundation. The applicant also proposes alterations to the existing boat house. 0 u MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD APRIL 19, 1993 ZONING FILE #1812 - CONT. Bellows inquired about the separation between the garage. Mabusth noted since the garage is over 750 s.f. there should be a 15' setback, but there is only 4'. Bellows noted emergency vehicles could not gain access to the structures on this property. Mabusth concurred. She continued that the applicant noted the boat house to be structurally sound, however the building staff disagreed and felt this to be a total rehabilitation of the building. Total lot coverage is 4.7% over the allowed. The removal of the boat house would reduce the hardcover in the 0 -75' zone to 6.7% and would reduce lot coverage enough to off -set the addition to the house. Goodyear stated he has determined that the foundation of the • residence can support the addition. He added he proposes to reduce the size of the boat house to about half, and to pour a foundation, reroof and reside it. Bellows stated that was where she drew the I i ne. She stated her first concern was the location of the garage and the unsafe condition present. She indicated her desire to see historical boat houses maintained, but felt this one did not warrant that label. She disagreed with the need for the side setback variance. She felt the extent of the improvements went beyond what the property could sustain. Johnson inquired about the existing setback for the right side of the house. Mabusth explained currently there is an 11' setback, and the applicant proposes the extension of a 2' chimney and the squaring off of the foundation from the chimney line. Goodyear noted the neighboring property owner has removed the garage near his detached garage and will be rebuilding further away, which creates a better separation. Peterson felt the project to be too aggressive. Schroeder agreed with the need for the separation for safety • reasons, but stated no objection to the addition of a second story. Goodyear asked that the application be tabled opposed to denied. 10 • MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD APRIL 19, 1993 ZONING FILE #1812 - CONT. It was moved by Cohen, seconded by Schroeder, to table Application #1812 for Thomas Patrick Goodyear, 712 Tonkawa Road. Johnson said he supported the request with the exception of the boat house and would like to see just the 2' extension for the chimney then return to the setback of the original foundation. Goodyear said he would be willing to remove the boat house. Mabusth noted the chimney at 2' is considered a non - encroachment. Goodyear said he would rather amend his request to expedite his project. Vote: Ayes 1, nays 4. Cohen voted aye. It was moved by Johnson, seconded by Schroeder, to recommend • approval of Application #1812 Thomas Patrick Goodyear, 712 Tonkawa Road, approving a side setback variance for the left side of the house, with the condition that the right side of the house and the steps for the deck conform with the setback requirements and that the boat house be removed in its entirety. Ayes 5, nays 0. Chair Bellows recessed from 9:05 to 9:10 p.m. ( #12) #1814 TOM BERTHIAUME & CHERRYL KACHENMEISTER, 3035 CASCO POINT ROAD - VARIANCES - PUBLIC HEARING 9:10 - 9:16 P.M. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. Mr. Berthiaume and Ms. Kachenmeister were present. Mabusth complimented the applicants on the material submitted. She corrected the hardcover percentage for the 75 -250' zone to 58.27% calculated by staff. Schroeder clarified that the bulk of the reduction of hardcover is plastic. Mabusth concurred. She explained the applicants propose a 17.5 x 26.2' two story addition to the lakeside encroaching 8' into the average lakeshore setback, a 1' side setback variance, and • hardcover variances in the 75 -250' setback area. She noted the property contains a turnaround serving neighboring property. 11 1`J MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD APRIL 19, 1993 ZONING FILE #1814 - CONT. Bellows clarified that emergency vehicles could get to the structures on this property. It was moved by Cohen, seconded by Peterson, to recommend approval of Application #1814 Tom Berth iaume and Cherry Kachenmeister, 3035 Casco Point Road, approving a side lot and average lakeshore setback, and hardcover variances, based on the hardships of the lot size and the turnaround serving other properties located on this property. Ayes 5, nays 0. ( #13) #1816 KENT & SUSAN SWANSON, 3229 B CASCO CIRCLE - VARIANCES - PUBLIC HEARING 9:16 - 9:30 P.M. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. Mr. and Mrs. Swanson and Mark Nesset, applicants' architect, were • present. Mabusth reviewed the 1982 variance approval of a garage addition, a fam i l y room, and widows wa I k connecting a screen porch within the 0 -75' zone. The current request is for a second story entry addition, an addition over the existing garage, and the removal of the widows walk to be replaced with a spiral stairway with landing. She added this property also contains a portion of a shared drive at approximately 3,500 s.f. of hardcover. Bellows questioned the access for the den area over the garage. Nesset noted access has been provided by a stairway through the laundry room, not from the exterior, and this area will be used as an artist studio. Bellows expressed concern that they might become a future rental unit. She inquired about the play structure. Mabusth noted this structure is 64 s.f. and located in the 0 -75' zone. Mr. Swanson indicated this structure is used by his children to sleep in, and replaced a former boat house. • Cohen stated they typically look for reductions in hardcover as a compromise. 12 • MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD APRIL 19, 1993 ZONING FILE #1816 - CONT. Mrs. Swanson said they had hoped the Commission would view the removal of the lakeside deck as such. She added they will also be removing a corner of the house. She clarified that she has 5 children and would not want to remove the play structure. Peterson asked if the neighbor to the left objected as his views would be cut off. Mrs. Swanson noted that both adjacent residences are much taller, and stated the neighbor has views of their drive, but this proposal would not affect their front views of the lake. It was moved by Schroeder, seconded by Johnson, to recommend approval of Application #1816 for Kent and Susan Swanson, 3229 B Casco Circle, for hardcover and setback variances to construct additions to their existing residence. Ayes 5, nays 0. • ( #14) #1817 THOMAS F. JOHNSON, 2795 SHADYWOOD ROAD - VARIANCES - PUBLIC HEARING 9:30 - 9:40 P.M. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. Mr. Johnson was present. Mabusth indicated that Mr. Johnson was unaware of the easement situation and just prior to the meeting had requested tabling the application, but staff suggested the Planning Commission discuss the merits of the proposal and provide direction on an amended proposal Bellows questioned the location of the garage between the shed and the bridge. She felt this location may not be feasible. Johnson stated they would need to excavate the hill to accommodate the garage. Schroeder questioned the need for the cul -de -sac. Mabusth noted it would serve at least four properties. She indicated a former owner attempted to get the private easement released, but upon the recommendation of his attorney, the easement was maintained for future needs. • Bellows expressed concern about releasing the easement. She felt they should ask the engineer to comment on the need and size of the cul -de -sac. 13 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING • HELD APRIL 19, 1993 ZONING FILE #1817 - CONT. Schroeder felt if the existing drive works it should be allowed to remain. Mabusth stated she has discussed this issue with the land owner in opposition who has indicated no problem if the easement is replaced with an appropriate turnaround. It was moved by Schroeder, seconded by Peterson, to table Application #1817 for Thomas F. Johnson, 2795 Shadywood Road, pending resolve of the private easement over Tract A. Ayes 5, nays 0.

Greg Peterson and Chuck Rausch were present. . Weckman explained this is a renewal of a lot width variance to create a buildable lot. The property has suitable septic areas. The applicant does not have a house plan at this time. It was moved by Cohen, seconded by Johnson, to recommend approval of Application #1819 Greg Peterson, 1920 Shoreline Drive, approving a renewal lot width variance to construct a new residence. Ayes 5, nays 0. ( #16) 2009 SUGARWOODS DRIVE - REQUEST TO REALIGN DRIVEWAY Bellows stated she was glad to see this request up front. Tim Johnson and Thomas Kileen were present. Johnson stated they request a variance to allow the drive within the 30' side setback and to curve the drive in the front setback due to the topography of the property. He noted this location will lessen the grade of the drive and preserve existing trees in the front yard. Schroeder stated he has no problem with the request and felt it is worth it to save the trees. Mabusth noted the neighbor to the east sought the same type of variance. Johnson felt the request to be reasonable. • 14 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING • HELD APRIL 19, 1993 2009 SUGARWOODS DRIVE - CONT. Peterson indicated he had no problem with the request, but asked why the additional apron. Johnson noted this area is to be used as a turnaround. Bellows requested that the turnaround area be kept to a minimum. It was moved by Schroeder, seconded by Cohen, to recommend approval of the request to realign the driveway on 2009 Sugarwoods Drive.
