The existing residence is located 28’ from the side lot line where 30 <br />is required in the RR-IB zoning district. <br />Discussion: <br />The existing residence was built in 1960. The property is located in a two acre zoning district. <br />However, the property is in a neighborhood of substandard lots more in character with one acre <br />zoning standards. If one acre zoning standards were applied to this property the residence would <br />meet the 10’ side yard setback. <br />The proposed project w ill not increase the amount of lot coverage by structures. The footprint <br />will remain the same. <br />#02-2848 Ptfter/Amy Goshgarian <br />too Orono Orchard Road <br />11/15/2002 <br />Page 1 of2
