TO:Chair Smith and Orono Planning Commission Members Ron Moorse, City Administrator FROM: DATE: Paul Weinberger, Assistant Zoning Administrator March 11,1999 SUBJECT: #2469/2470 500 Orono Orchard Road Sketch Plan Review and Variances Zoning District: RR-1 B One Family Lakeshore Residential District (2 Acres) Lot Area: (Existing)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 P,oad. 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 :*s required to meet a 50' setback from the property line, however variances have been granted that allow structures to be located closer to alleys elsev/here 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 O' 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. 92469/2470 500/540 Orono Orchard Road Lot Line Rearrange me ni/\"acatlon/\*ariances 4/19/99 Page I
