Page | 1 April 4, 2022 Oare/Abbott Application for Variances and/or Conditional Use Permit Contains the following “Pro” & “Con” aspects: Cons 1.) The (to be) family/guest house does not meet the criteria of (1) acre lot size which is required for guest houses to be built. The homes at 2965 & 2967 were originally ONE property. This original property totaled the acre required to have a guest house prior to being split & sold off to create what is now 2965. Pros 1.) Causes 3 lots with 3 property ID numbers to become 2 legal lots with 2 property ID numbers. Combining 2967 & 2965, which are both non-conforming, creates 1 conforming lot. 2.) Inconsistent average lakeshore setback condition is eliminated. 3.) Eliminates the full-time use single family home on a virtual “flag” lot with legal lake access width of only 20’ of lakeshore with LMCD-permitted dock rights. 4.) Permanently eliminates the LMCD-permitted dock rights, existing structured deck, and stair to the lakeshore. 5.) Eliminates the former Swenson (2965) property’s hardcover non-conformity over 25% by 6.84% of the lot size. 6.) The present drive easement at 2965 & 2941 will be eliminated. 7.) Eliminates substantial existing hardcover. a. The Oares are effectively reducing their new parcel from 29.06% to 25.66% hardcover through the proposed Swenson (2965) lot elimination. 8.) The Oares (2967) withdraw their request for adding 2 parking spaces and the respective additional hardcover, which was to be immediately off Casco Point Road. 9.) Allows continued use of non-conforming existing conditions that were permitted and granted by municipal processes in the distant & recent past. This continuation supports preserving the rights and privileges once allowed without the needless discarding of past labor & natural materials used in building the existing human habitation that exists today.
