Section 10.24. Subdivision 5 (B): Lot Width: The lot is 100 feet wide where 140 feet is the mininiuni lot width for the LR-IB zoning district for new construction. 2. Section 10.03, Subdivision 9: (Acce.s.sory Buildings); No accessory' buildings or structure shall be constructed on any lot prior to the time of constniction of the principal building to which it is accessory. Application Summary’: The applicant owns the subject property and is requesting a lot width variance and an accessory’ building variance to construct a new residence on the lot. The e.xisting residence was constructed in 1920 and the accessory buildings will remain. A lot width variance is required due to the lot being 100 feet wide where 140 ’ is required in the LR- 1B zoning district. An accessory building variance is required because Orono zoning code does not permit accessory buildings on a property without a principal structure. Currently there are two e.xisting accessory buildings (detached garage - 30.2’ 30.8 ’ and a shed - 12.2' x 30.2’) which will be located on the property without a primary’ structure. A variance was granted in 1997 to allow the detached garage to be constructed on the property and a pennit was issued in 1999 for the shed. The applicants have submitted building plans for a new residence and the two accessory buildings will remain. HOI-2721 Walter Holzir 1130 North Shore Drive W yariances 10/12/2001 Page I
