An accessory building variance is required because Orono zoning code does not permit an accessory <br />building on a property without a principal structure. Currently there is an existing accessory building <br />(detached garage) in the 250-500 ’ setback area, that will be located on the property without a primary <br />structure. The applicants have submitted building plans for a new residence and the detached garage <br />will remain. (Also applicants letter-E.\hibit C). <br />The applicant did provide a drainage plan. The plan was forwarded to the City engineer for <br />comments. As of writing this report comments have not yet been received. <br />This lot is a lakeshore lot and is sewered. <br />Statement of Hardship; <br />This is an existing lot which was platted prior to current zoning standards. <br />Issues for Consideration: <br />I. The lot was platted prior to current zoning requirements. <br />2. A residence exists on the property. <br />3. The proposal meets requirements for structural lot coverage, hardcover requirements and yard <br />setbacks. <br />4. The detached garage is in good structural condition, and is nearly conforming in location, just <br />0.4' short of meeting the required 10* side setback. <br />5. Other issues raised by the Plaiming Commission. <br />Staff Recommendation; <br />Staff recommends approval of the lot width variance and the variance to allow the existing <br />detached garage to remain. <br />To obtain a building permit the new residence must meet all setbacks, hardcover and structural <br />lot coverage requirements. <br />MI-2725 Rob Howells <br />1423 Park Drive <br />Variance <br />I a '12/2001 <br />Page 2
