TO: FROM: DATE: Chair Smith and Orono Planning Commission Members Ron Moorse, City Administrator Paul Weinberger, Assistant Zoning Administrator March 11,1999 SUBJECT: #2469/2470 500 Orono Orchar'* Road Sketch Plan Review and Variances Zoning District: RR-1B Lot Area: (Existing) ____ One Family Lakeshore Residential District (2 Acres) 38,346 s.f. Application: # The applicant has proposed a lot line rearrangement for properties located at 500 and 540 Orono Orchard Road. Steven and Jo Webster, property owners of 500 Orono Orchard Road, have requested the City consider a lot line rearrangement, vacation of the alley, and variances to permit construction of a garage within the required yard setbacks. The 540 Orono Orchard Road lot is owned by Kent and Sandra Larson. To permit a subdivision of a lot line rearrangement the Larson's must be a co applicant. They have not communicated to the City support of the change in access to their property. They would be required to construct a driveway with access from Orono Orchard Road. This property uses the alley for its only access. The Webster’s at 500 Orono Orchard Road have proposed a garage and residential addition that would place the garage on the property line adjacent to the alley. (Please see the attached site plan). The garage is required to meet a 50' setback from the property line, however variances have been granted that allow structures to be located closer to alleys elsewhere in the City, but none have been approved that would place a building on a property line. ____________ This application requires the following variances: Section 10.28, Subdivision 5 (B): To permit a side yard adjacent to the street (alley) setback of 0’ where 50' is required; to permit an 8' front yard setback where 50' is required; and to permit a 36.8' side yard adjacent to the street setback where 50' is required. §24i9n470 500/S40 Orono Orchard Road La Um Roarrangimeni/Vacaion/yarUmciS 4/19/99 Pagi I
