Application Summary: The applicants have recently purchased the subject property and are requesting a lot width variance and an accessory building variance to construct a new residence on the lot. The existing residence that was constructed in 1973 will be removed. A demolition permit had not yet been obtained as of this writing. A lot w idth variance is required due to the lot being 130’ wide where 200’ is required in the LR-1 A zoning district. An.accessory building variance is required because Orono zoning code does not permit an accessory building on a property without a principal structure. Currently there is an existing accessory building (shed ) located on the property without a primary structure. The applicants have not submitted building plans for a new residence but they have indicated the accessory’ building is intended to remain. This lot is a lakcshcre lot and is sewered.
