The properry is located in the LR-1C�Lakeshore Residential Zonin� District <br /> requiring one-half acre in area or 21,780 s.f. The subject property consists of <br /> 18,843 s.f. <br /> .3, The Orono Council reviewed this application on June 14, 1993 and recommended <br /> conceptual approval of the proposed variances based upon the followin; findings: <br /> A. Hardcover irnprovements on the property exist at 10,095.3 s.f. or <br /> 84.11%. The applicants propose the removal of existing improvements <br /> with final hardcover proposed at 5,621.5 s.f. or 46.8%. The proposed <br /> improvements will result in a total hardcover reduction within the 75-250' <br /> setback area of 4,473.8 s.f. or 37.2%. <br /> B. The applicants' property is severely impacted at the time of heavy rainfall <br /> from the Counry storm sewer that overflows in their lakeshore yard. The <br /> applicants' front yard is unstable because of moisture content during <br /> summer months restricting use of outdoor lawn furniture. <br /> C. The street yard tennis court will be removed and replaced with a grassed <br /> yard that will provide additional absorption area for runoff from County <br /> road and overburdened storm sewer at times of heavy rainfall. <br /> D. The existing residence has no�basement and needs additional storage area <br /> provided by the existing detached garage withi.n the street yard. <br /> E.

The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this properry are peculiar <br /> to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoni.ng district; that <br /> granting the variance would not adversely affect trafFc conditions, light, air nor <br /> pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely <br /> serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a <br /> demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property <br /> right of the applicants; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the <br /> Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br /> Page 2 of 6 � <br /> ►�.����... <br />
