TO: <br />FROM: <br />DATE: <br />RE: <br />Chair Hawn and Orono Planning Commissioners <br />Ron Moorse, City Administrator <br />Kris Jenson, Assistant Zoning Administrator/Planner <br />September?, 1999 <br />#2519 Matthew & Robin Staloch, 4705 Watertown Road <br />Variance-Public Hearing <br />Zoning:RR-IA, 5 Acre Distnct <br />Application: To allow a horse bam to be constructed between the principal residence and the street. <br />STAFF SUMMARY <br />The applicants have requested a variance to permit the construction of a horse bam between <br />the principal structure and the street. This lot is approximately 350' wide and 700 ’ deep, and the <br />house sits at the rear of the property, only 61.8' from the rear property line. The west property line <br />is Painters Creek. Due to the house location and the creek, the only feasible place to locate the bam <br />is along the driveway in the center of the lot. The area between the bam/driveway area and the east <br />property line will serve as the pasture area for the horse. The proposed building is 28' x 40', and <br />meets all other setback standards for oversized structures. This structure will be located more than <br />75’ from the nearest property line, and over 150' from the applicant's home, as well as the <br />neighboring homes at 4765 Watertown Road and 630 Deborah Drive. The North lot line of this <br />property is Painters Creek, and therefore the property falls unders Shoreland Regulations and <br />hardcover requirements. This site, even with the proposed horse bam, is at 0% hardcover within the <br />0'-75' zone, falls under 10% hardcover within the 75'-250' zone, and 19% within the 250'-300’ zone. <br />Pertinent Ordinance <br />Section 10.03 General Provisions, Subd. 9, Accessory Buildings (C) Area Restrictions, (3)(a): No <br />such accessory structure shall be located within a required yard area (principal structure setbacks <br />must be met). Further, no such structure shall be nearer the front lot line than the front lot line of <br />the principal residence on the property, and no such accessory structure shall be located less than 30' <br />from the side or rear lot line regardless whether less strict principal structure setbacks apply. <br />U25i9 Matthew A Robin Staloch 4705 Watertown Road <br />Variance <br />September 7. 1999 <br />pogt-'l
