The Orono Planning Commission initially reviewed a similar proposal with <br /> slightly different construction and site plans as application #2166 on August 19, <br /> 1996, and on a vote of 5-1 recommended approval of the proposed variances <br /> subject to the following conditions and based upon the following findings: <br /> A. The major proposed room additions to the existing house will be located <br /> behind the 75' lakeshore setback line. Some proposed revisions to <br /> existing roof lines will encroach both the 75' lakeshore setback and the <br /> � 30' required side setback, however none of these additions will increase <br /> the footprint of the encroaching portions of the house, nor will walls be <br /> moved closer to the respective lot lines. Therefore, the additional impact <br /> . � of the additions and roof line revisions on neighboring properties is <br /> minimal. <br /> • B. The existing house encroaches approximately 26' past the average <br /> lakeshore setback line, and the room additions to the north of the existing <br /> house will cause an additional average setback encroachment of a lesser <br /> � magnitude. No neighboring property views of the lake are encroached <br /> upon by either the existing house or the proposed additions, hence there <br /> is no impact on neighboring properties by granting the average•lakeshore <br /> setback variance. � <br /> C. Hardcover in the 0-75' zone is proposed to be reduced from 6.0% to <br /> 3.9% by removing certain existing hardcover items and replacing them <br /> with a terrace area at a reduced level of hardcover. Hardcover in the 75- <br /> � 250' zone is proposed to increase from 27.5% to 27.6%, and the impact <br /> of this minor increase is minimal. . <br /> D. The location of the existing house with its existing encroachments into <br /> the lakeshore setback, average lakeshore setback and side setback is a <br /> � hardship to the property. <br /> E. The driveway relocation is a positive improvement to the property, and <br /> the 75-250' hardcover variance is justified by the need to provide <br /> ' adequate off street parking for the residence since no parking is available <br /> • in the County Road 15 right-of-way at this location. <br /> Page 2 of 8 <br />
