Lot History <br />In 1983 the Council approved an automatic lot area variance that approved the lot as a record lot. <br />The variance allows the lot to be used for one-family seasonal recreational use without a structure; <br />or a single new seasonal dwelling may be built; or an existing seasonal dwelling may be used, <br />improved and/or added onto; without requiring further City CouiKil review of lot size. <br />A previous propert>' owner had improved and constructed a deck on an accessory building located <br />over the rear property line into the Meta-Comet Avenue right-of-way. The structure, absent a deck, <br />had existed In this location for many years. The previous property owner did the work without <br />obtain a building permit. A stop work order was issued in 1991 while the work was being <br />completed. No building permit has ever been applied and no record exists stating the City of Orono <br />had granted a right-of-way permit for use of the public land for private purposes. The existing owner <br />purchased the property in 1996. <br />Staff Recommendation <br />Staff recommends approval of the hardcover and structure variance to permit replacement of the <br />lakeside deck based on the fact that a deck hod existed in that location previously and the size and <br />dimensions of the deck have not increased. <br />Options for Ptonnina Commission Action <br />I.Recommend approval of the variance to permit the after-the-fact variance that would permit <br />replacement of the deck. <br />2. <br />3. <br />4. <br />Recommend denial, stating rca.sons. <br />Table. <br />Other action. <br />•0I-2M0JoImA EMcn <br />7/|fcOI <br />Pace 2 Of 3 <br />J
