The lot is triangular and only 50* wide where it abuts Orono Orchard Road. <br />At the 50' front setb?ck line, the width is 80'. In 1994, the owners were granted a lot variance to <br />remove the existing house and construct a new residence on the property. The existing house was <br />removed, however the new residence was not constructed on the lot. The variance expired after 1 <br />year. <br />The present owner proposes to construct a new residence on the lot that meets all setbacks in the RR- <br />IB zoning district. The location of the new residence and the narrow nature of the lot has little <br />impact on adjacent residences. The present owner would like to renew the lot width variance on this <br />property. <br />Staff Recommendation: <br />Staff reconunends renewing the variance for lot width. <br />U2565 Peter Scherer <br />15 Orono Orchard Road <br />Variance Renewal <br />3/20/2000 <br />Page I
