The property is located in the LR -1C Single Family Lakeshore Zoning District. 3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on April 20, 1987, and recommended approval of the proposed variance based upon the following findings: A) The existing residence is 7' from the side lot line. The proposed addition will range from 7' to 10' from the side lot line, continuing the line of the existing house. This addition will have no significant impact on light, air, open space or lake views from the neighboring property. B) Applicant can reduce the proposed hardcover from 42.7% to under 40% in the 75-250' setback zone without appreciably affecting the intent of his proposed addition.
