(.33 acre) <br />List of Exhibits: <br />A <br />B <br />C <br />D <br />E <br />F <br />G <br />Resolution <br />Site Plan <br />Plat Map <br />Front Elevation View <br />Structure Dimensions <br />Site Photo <br />Hardcover Calculation Worksheet <br />Application Summary: <br />The applicant requests variances to permit construction of a one stall garage attached to the existing <br />residence. The existing residence was constructed in 1958 prior to the adoption of the zoning ordinance. <br />Required setbacks for the property are 50' from the front property line, 50' from the east property line, 30' <br />from the west property line and 50' from the rear property line. <br />Variances requested are to permit the garage addition 26' from the front property line where 50' is required <br />and 6' frorn the east property line where 50' is required because the east line is adjacent to a platted, <br />undeveloped street. A site plan showing the property and setbacks is attached as Exhibit B. <br />The property is located in the Crystal Bay neighborhood where most lots are similar in size and dimension <br />to the applicant's property. A platted, but undeveloped, alley is located immediately east of the property. <br />The City of Orono has no intension to open the alley for construction of a public right of way. The alley is <br />used for utilities (overhead electric poles). <br />Hardship: <br />The house was built 29.8' from the front property line in 1958, before the 50' setback for new construction <br />was adopted. The house was placed on the lot with the sides being parallel with side lot lines and 29' from <br />the front property line. No addition could be placed on the house without requiring variances. The existing <br />floor plan and driveway location favors placing the garage where it is proposed on the plans.
