O O <br /> 0 <br /> ti <br /> CITY of ORONO <br /> RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> ��`9ItE <br /> SH p4 NO. 3 6 1 1 <br /> FINDINGS <br /> 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File#2049. <br /> 2. The property is located in the LR-1B Single Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning <br /> District. <br /> 3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on August 21, 1995 and <br /> recommended partial approval of the proposed variances based upon the following <br /> findings: <br /> A. The existing 8' x 24' deck and 4' x 6' stairway (216 s.f. total) are in poor <br /> condition and need to be replaced. Since there are existing doors opening to <br /> this second level deck,it would be appropriate to replace the deck in kind to <br /> preserve a substantial right of the property owner. Construction of a new 8' <br /> x 24' deck plus a stairway at the north end of the new deck will result in no <br /> new encroachment of the 0-75' lakeshore setback zone. <br /> B. Construction of an 8'x 24'screen porch directly below the proposed deck will <br /> have minimal visual impact as viewed from the lake, due to partially being <br /> below grade and due to existing screening along the shoreline. Further,the <br /> existing and proposed deck constitutes hardcover under the City's hardcover <br /> policies and therefore no new hardcover results from the screen porch <br /> addition. <br /> C. Neither the deck nor screen porch will have an impact on neighboring <br /> properties' views of the lake. <br /> D. Excavation along the south wall of the existing residence to allow installation <br /> of walkout doors to replace existing windows is minor in nature, involving <br /> the removal of only 4 cubic yards of material ranging in depth from 0-3' <br /> along a small portion of the foundation wall. The excavation is necessary in <br /> order to allow access via the proposed patio doors. The visual impact of the <br /> additional facade opened up to lakeview is very minor. <br /> Page 2 of 7 <br />
