Orono Planning Commission <br />City of Orono <br />Date: December 12, 1998 <br />Re: Application for a variance. <br />I wish to construct an accessory structure that is 36 x 77 on my residence at 4300 <br />6th Av. North, Long Lake. I live In "rural" Orono and need a variance with two <br />aspects. <br />1.I wish to put a connector between my existing barn and the new <br />structure. I have a lot of stuff that needs to be stored out of the <br />weather. This includes a farm tractor, farm equipment, numerous <br />trailers, a log splitter, and a lot of antiques, if I can get the equipment <br />inside, it will de-clutter my yard and make it look better for my <br />neighbors and myself. I can construct the shed as a free standing <br />building, but with attachment, the combined size exceeds the foot <br />print square footage allotment. The connector will allow me to move <br />between buildings more easily. <br />2. Some day I wish to get a motor home or RV and store it in the <br />structure. I am applying for 14 foot side walls to insure the necessary <br />height for the vehicle. I addition, I wish to put a loft in half cf the <br />building. The added height with allow the height at the side wall to <br />be a more usable 6 feet, instead of 4 feet. <br />My property is well screened to the west, north and east by the ring of trees <br />encircling my barn and by a large marsh to the north. The new structure’s <br />visibility will be very limited and I have the approval of my immediate neighbors. <br />Bob Gehrman
