!, <br />I- <br />U <br />% <br />Statement of Hardship; <br />The applicants have included their statement of hardship in Exhibit B. The applicants should also <br />be asked for their testimony regarding this issue. <br />Issues for Consideration; <br />1. Structural coverage is increasing but still below the 15% amount allowed. <br />2. Hardcover in the 500-1000' setback area will be increasing but still below the 35% amount <br />allowed. <br />3. The lot is significantly undersized for the LR-1A zoning district. The lot sizes in this <br />neighborhood are more typical of those found in Orono’s LR-IC districts. If this were in the LR- <br />1C zoning district (.5 acre), which is the size that most of the lots in the neighborhood are, the <br />proposal would meet all the required setbacks. <br />4. The dining area and attached garage li-ing area addition will not adversely affect adjacent <br />properties. <br />5. The residence was built well before current zoning standards were adopted. <br />6. Does the Planning Commission have additional issues or concerns with this proposal? <br />Staff Recommendation: <br />Recommend approval of front yard setback and rear yard setback variances for a garage and <br />dining area additions. <br />»2608 Philip/Karen Skoog <br />280 Tonka Avenue <br />Variances~p.2 <br />i
