« <br />• I <br />Pertinent Facts: <br />1.The enclosed survey, completed by Coffin & Gronberg has provided evidence that the 'paved' <br />alley is not entirely within the 'platted' alley. The Webster's could back out of the proposed <br />garage without entering directly to the alley. It is important to note that their is only one <br />other user of the alley (540 Orono Orchard Road). <br />2.Similar variances were granted on the property for an addition, but a building permit was not <br />issued within one year of Council approval and the variances expired. <br />3. <br />4. <br />The City plows and maintains the alley. <br />The Websters have a detached garage that is located over the property line by. 3' on the north <br />side of the lot. The garage opens directly to Dickenson. A garage located on the alley would <br />provide a safer access point rather than backing out of the garage directly onto Dickenson <br />Street. <br />ANALYSIS <br />Lot Area and Yards <br />RR-IB <br />(2 acre) <br />Lot Area Lot Width Rear Yard Side Yardl <br />Adjacent to <br />Street <br />Street Yard <br />Required 87,120 s.f.200’50'30 ’50' <br />Proposed 38,346 s.f.150 ’5'17'36.5' <br />The Webster’s prop>erty, located at 500 Orono Orchard Road, has access directly to Dickenson Street. <br />A new garage arrangement would take the access point off Dickenson and onto the alley. However, <br />the City does require a 30' setback for garages that face the street. Because this is an alley it seems <br />to be reasonable to allow a setback of less than 30’ as only one other property will be using the alley <br />for access. <br />02469/2470 <br />500/540 Orono Orchard Road <br />Lot Line Rearrangement/Vacation/l^ariances <br />5/17/99 <br />Page! <br />f • <br />»
