r <br />1. <br />2. <br />3. <br />4. <br />5. <br />FINDINGS <br />This application was reviewed as Zoning File #2233. <br />The property is located in the LR-IB Single Family Lakeshore Residential <br />Zoning District where the minimum lot area required is one acre. <br />The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on June 2, 1997 and <br />June 16, 1997 and recommended approval of the proposed variance(s) based <br />upon the following unique findings and hardships: <br />A. The zoning lot is .91 acres and does not meet the lot area or width <br />requirements. <br />B. The proposed accessory structure meets the yard setback requirement. <br />C. The height of the principal structure is IT 6". <br />D. The Zoning Code limits accessory structures to 1,000 sq. ft. on zoning <br />lots less than two acres in size. <br />The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar <br />to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that <br />granting the variances would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor <br />pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely <br />serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a <br />demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial <br />property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and <br />intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br />The City Council has considered this application including the findings and <br />recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments <br />by the applicant and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and <br />welfare of the community. <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />1
