In <br />order to comply with die letter of the present aoning ordinance, upon issuance of a building permit far <br />their new home and the necessary demolition of die existing home, the Kings agree to rernove their 3 <br />year old pool and pool deck since it is presently considered ‘'accessory structural coverage". <br />We understand the issue of the ordinance ctassiiying an in-ground pool and pool patio as part of <br />structural coverage, has recently come into question by the City of Orono City Council members. <br />Planning Commission members and staff. In light of this fiut, and should the ordiaaiice (Aange prior <br />to the time Jie King’s construction begins, the Kings reserve their right to change their minds about <br />removing the pool and patio if it becomes no longer defined as accessory structural coverage. The <br />issue of leaving this pool as an accessory structure upon demolition of the home, we understand will be <br />addressed in the staff report. <br />In suromatioo. the structural coverage of I5H of the lot area will be met by the propose design of the <br />home less the existing pool and pool patio. Therefore, the only request for variance being submitted is <br />for construction of a new hone on a substandard sixe non-conforming lot. <br />Again, thanks for your time and assistance with this request <br />Sincerely, <br />Michael Sharran <br />Sbarratt and MacDonald Design Company <br />Architect and Owner’s Represenutive <br />SHAfWATTimCOONMJ) DSSION COMPAMV <br />- ------- • ---------h 4- <br />Ml ScAoo/Avww* MtO, eiC«*Uar, WSwiesota WMf <br />roe Avenue.
