The Orono Planning Commission reviewed. this application on September 21, 1992 , and on a vote of 7-0 recommended approval of the reguested variances and conditional use permit based on the following findings: a.

Said garage was in disrepair. Removal of the garage is an improvement to the neighborhood. b. Applicant has a reasonable need for storage for yard maintenance equipment and other items which need to be secured. c. Any other location for a storage shed on the property would require a similar number and magnitude of • variances due to the extremely small lot size. d. Placement of the storage shed to the rear of the house would eliminate the only vehicle parking area on the property. e. The proposed removal of existing gravel hardcover results in a slight decrease from 41.6$ to 41.1$ (500- 1,000 ' zone) . f. One or more of the above findings constitute sufficient hardship for granting of the variances and conditional use permit. - 5. Applicant commenced demolition of the pre-existing garage and construction of the new shed without obtaining the appropriate pe�mits for such work after having been advised of the need for such permits, and commenced ' such work after making a variance/conditional use permit application but prior to variance/conditional use permit approval. 6. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, • Page 2 of 7 � �
