LMCD REPORT — ANDREW
, REPRESENTATIVE
McDermott reported the LMCD took their annual lake tour in August and also had their marine owners'
meeting this past month, which had a very good return. The marine owners expressed a number of
concerns regarding the LMCD's ordinances and the fact that the 8 -foot wide slips are too small for
today's boats. The marine owners would also like to have the ability to replace dolphin poles when they
break without having to obtain a variance. 'I
McDermott stated as it relates to complaints to the LMCD, if there is a complaint by someone* in the
general public regarding a dock, the LMCD will Took into it, but if it is not an adjoining property owner
and the complaint is about a dock setback issue, the LMCD typically will not look into the situation.
As it relates to the milfoil treatment, Grays Bay and Phelps Bay has been retreated at no cost to the
taxpayers by the applicator. However, Carmen'sI Bay had a different applicator and was not retreated.
McDermott stated the milfoil is better in some areas on Carmen's Bay, and of the two bays that were
retreated, approximately 90 percent of the milfoil appears to be under control. -
• White asked whether there was less boat traffic in the area lakes this year.

McDermott stated the number of launches on a Friday and/or Saturday were down from previous years
but not considerably. In addition, the number of gas sales at the marinas are down significantly.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING — Ralph Kempf, Representative
Kempf stated he had nothing to report but would be available for questions.
PUBLIC COMMENTS — (Limit 5 Minutes Per Person)
Dave Runkle, 2684 Casco Point, commented he was disappointed that Carmen's Bay was not treated
twice. Runkle stated in his view the current plan is defective and should be reviewed prior to next year.
Runkle stated he would like to see the City develop a communications plan that includes fiber optics to
the residences in the area. Runkle suggested the City look into investing in the infrastructure with
LMCC's consultant Eric Lapham and that he would be willing to provide his contact information to the
City.
White noted the City has already been in touch with Mr. Lapham on this subject and that the City is
looking at its options at the present time.
Bill Bauman, Stonebay, stated he had the understanding that the Stonebay development was going to be
on the agenda tonight and asked what the progress is on that development.
Gaffron stated Staff has been working with Arnie Zachman and others on compiling quotes for the
infrastructure to finish Stonebay. Gaffron noted that on tonight's consent agenda was an item relating to
concrete work in that development. - That work should be completed this fall in order to allow for the
final coat of asphalt. Staff is also in the process of obtaining and analyzing quotes to finish the
landscaping and wetland restoration.
Gaffron stated in addition, Staff is looking to obtain quotes to replace the dead trees.
Kellogg stated they are also looking at the installation of an outlet structure in the westerly wetland,
which will hopefully be completed this winter.
Bauman commented he would like to see the work continue to move forward and that the Stonebay
residents are willing to help out in any way they can.

Gustafson noted their proposal does balance the amount of floodplain located on the site.
McMillan asked whether the drainage problem is a function of the floodplain, 'an ice ridge, or runoff
from the neighboring properties.
Gustafson stated it is a combination of all three.
Turner commented in her view the majority of the drainage problem results from the ice ridge.
Dulin stated they do not have rip -rap but rather a sea wall that has been undercut by the ice and wind
over the past 60 years. The adjoining neighbor remodeled their property a few years back, which has
also resulted in some additional runoff on their site and has left that portion of the property virtually
unusable.
Gustafson noted the lowest level of the house is located below the floodplain and that it is their
understanding they cannot remodel the structure. The mechanicals are located in the crawl space at the
present time, which would require a somewhat larger structure to accommodate the mechanicals on the
main level.
Dulin displayed photographs of the flooding they are currently experiencing on their property and stated •
they would-like to take the appropriate steps to address that issue. One further issue relating to the
property is a sewer easement that is located on the property. They are placing the house as close to the
easement as possible.
Gustafson noted they would be relocating the easement over the sewer line. The hardship with the
sewer easement forces them to locate the house closer to the lake.
Dulin stated as a result of these different issues; they are forced into a smaller buildable area. If the
sewer line did not cross their property, they would be able to construct their residence in a different
location. The property does have a history of variances being granted in an attempt to address some of
these issues but they have not been addressed in totality. In 1988, additional hardcover was added in the
0 -75 as well as approximately 1000 square feet in the 75 -250 foot zone, which he is now attempting to
undo. At that time the Council found that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and
do not generally apply to other property in this zoning district. The granting of the variance would not
adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air, nor pose a fire hazard or danger to neighbors' properties
and does not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant but is necessary to alleviate the
demonstrable hardship or difficulty as necessary to preserve the substantial property right of the
applicant and keep within the spirit of the zoning code of the city. Dulin stated those.past variances
have actually made his request more difficult. Dulin requested the City Council approve their
application, which would allow them to resolve most of the nonconformities except for the hardcover.
Dulin noted the property has not been improved since 1992 and that they are attempting with this
project to relocate their master bedroom and mechanicals on the main floor. Dulin requested the
Council grant their variances to enable them to reside in this property as they age.
Gustafson displayed the proposed layout of the structure on the property.

Rahn stated he has a difficult time granting a hardcover variance given the size of the lot. Rahn
commented he understands the nonconformities but pointed out that there are a number of lots in Orono
that have the.same type of nonconformities and that it really should not be a basis for granting a
hardcover variance, particularly in light of a pool being located on the property. Rahn stated he does not
see a hardship for the hardcover variance.
Dulin stated he is unable to remodel based on Staff's comments since the remodel value would exceed a
certain percentage.
Turner stated if they reconstructed under state statute, they would be required to eliminate the crawl
space.
Rahn asked what amount of square feet they are over on hardcover.
Dulin stated his property would be at 7019 square feet and that he is currently 700 feet over in
hardcover with his present house.
Rahn noted they are proposing 6365 square feet, which is approximately 1200 square feet of hardcover
in excess of what is allowed. Rahn asked the size of the pool and deck.

•
Dulin stated approximately 900 square feet. Dulin noted they have eliminated a number of amenities •
and that they would like to construct a house that will accommodate their needs for the next 20 to 25
years. Dulin noted they have reduced their hardcover by approximately six percent from their original
proposal and that they would like to have the pool in the event they are unable to use the lake. Dulin
asked whether they would be allowed to construct the same size house as the existing footprint.
Rahn stated the City Council looks at hardship when granting a variance and that this is a conforming
lot. Rahn noted this is a rebuild, which requires the house to be constructed to certain standards.
Dulin stated he would also like to construct a house that accommodates their lifestyle, and if they are
not allowed to reconstruct, they would be looking at relocating elsewhere. Dulin commented if he is
unable to construct a structure that meets their needs, he would not be proceeding forward with the
project.
Gustafson stated in their view the division of the property by the sewer line creates a hardship.
Bremer asked whether 1725 Concordia Street is similar.
Dulin stated the owners of 1725 Concordia have their master bedroom upstairs, their mechanicals in the
basement, and they do not have any floodplain issues. Dulin indicated they would have bedrooms
located upstairs for guests and grandchildren.
McMillan asked what the square footage is proposed for the mechanicals.
Dulin stated it is approximately 120 to 130 square feet and would need to be located on the main floor. •

6. #08 -3375 MICHAEL AND MARY DRAZAN, 3546 IVY PLACE — VARIANCE AND
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
Michael and Mary Drazan, Applicants, and John Sonnek, Charles Cudd, were present.
Gaffron stated the applicants are requesting a number of variances. The proposal is to construct a new
residence that conforms to structural coverage, setbacks, meets the average lakeshore setback, but would
require a hardcover variance to allow 0.8 percent hardcover within the 0 -75 foot setback to allow a
permitted lake access stair and 29.9 percent hardcover within the 75 -250 foot setback where 34.5
percent currently exists. In addition, a conditional use permit is being requested in order to allow the
removal of a lakeside deck and retaining walls and re- grading of the slope.
The Planning Commission voted 5 -0 to recommend approval-of the hardcover variances as proposed
and the conditional use permit for grading within the 0 -75 foot setback. The Planning Commission also
recommended that rain gardens be incorporated into the plan to accommodate the hardcover in excess of
25 percent.
The applicants had originally proposed to do some grading on the neighboring properties but have since
revised their plan to eliminate that work. Staff recommends approval of the variances and the
conditional use permit.
ti
•
Sonnek stated they have taken steps to minimize their hardcover as much as possible and handle the
drainage completely on the property.
Mary Drazan stated Ted Capra has changed his drainage and grading plan to include a retaining wall •
rather than constructing a joint swale and that their other neighbor does not wi-sli to do a joint swale,
which resulted in them incorporating French drains into their plan. As it relates to hardship, Ivy Place is
an extremely narrow street and that they would like to have some additional parking on their property.
Drazan noted in the past they had utilized Mr. Capra's property for parking, which they no longer will
be able to do.
Sonnek stated another issue is the existing trees and that they have attempted to preserve as many of the
trees as possible.
McMillan asked whether the size of the house would remain the same.
Sonnek indicated it is slightly smaller than the existing house.
Michael Drazan noted they did relocate the house out of the 0 -75 foot setback.
White concurred that parking is a problem in this area.
McMillan noted the house is under the structural coverage limit as well.
Rahn stated the applicants have designed pretty much everything to the minimum but that he has a
difficult time approving a variance on a conforming lot.
`Bremer noted she was opposed to the variance granted to Ted Capra but that she does not want to •
minimize the safety factor as it relates to the narrow street and the need for off - street parking.

Michael Drazan stated they did pull the house back as far back as Ted Capra's house.
Mary Drazan stated it was recommended by Staff not to locate the house so far back as to create a
tunnel effect but to locate it in a similar position as the Capra house in an effort to reduce hardcover.
Bremer stated in her view this lot is very similar to Ted Capra's lot and that it would be unfair for the
Drazans to not get the same variances that Ted Capra received.

McMillan concurred that the Planning Commission has been doing good work. McMillan noted there
