I [> <br />7 <br />TO:Chair Hawn and Orono Planning Commissioners <br />Ron Moorse, City Administrator <br />FROM: <br />DATE: <br />RE: <br />Paul Weinberger, Zoning Administrator/Planner <br />June 12,2000 <br />#2579 James and Candace Kemna <br />1110 Willow Drive South <br />Variances <br />Zoning: RR>1B, One Family Rural Residential, 2 Acre Minimum lot size <br />List of Exhibits: <br />A <br />B <br />C <br />D <br />Revised Site Plan <br />Elevation Views <br />Topographic Miy) <br />Staff Report (May 10,2000) <br />Rcvietv of Application: The Planning Commission reviewed this application on May 15,2000 and <br />tabled the application for variances to permit an addition to front of house and outdoor porch that <br />would encroach further into the 50* front yard setback and into the 30' side yard setback a variance <br />to permit an addition to the detached garage that encroaches into the 1 S' side yard setback required <br />for accessory structures of 7SO-IOOO s.f. based on the following comments: <br />1.The Municipal Code has a provision that states lots in any **R” district, where the average <br />depth of at least two existing front yards or buildings within 150' of the lot and within the <br />same block the required front yard shall not be less the average depth of existing front yards. <br />Technically, the building would need a variance to encroach closer to the street than the <br />adjacent buildings. The intent is to create a consistent appearance to the neighborhood, and <br />would not allow one house to block the view of the street from another. <br />2.The existing residence is 41' from the front property line where 50' is required for lots in the <br />RR-IB zoning district. Approval of variances would enhance a non-conforming building. <br />The proposed 27' front setback (23* if covered porch is included) is less than Orono's Vi acre <br />zone front setback standard of 30 and 1 acre f^nt setback of 35'. <br />#2579 James and Candace Kemna <br />11 10 Willow Drive South <br />Variances <br />June 79. 2000 <br />pat^l
