im <br />CITYof ORONO <br />RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br />NO. ^^7 ______ <br />3.The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on June 17. 1996 and <br />recommended approval of the proposed variances on a vote of 7 to 0 based upon <br />the following findings: <br />B <br />Since all proposed additions meet the 50' street setback, no street setback <br />variance is required. <br />Tlie location of the proposed additions to the east of the existing house <br />and as near as 5’ to the east side lot line is appropriate based on the <br />following unique findings: <br />1. Additions of the same magnitude as those proposed could not be <br />located elsewhere on the property without encroaching the 50’ <br />required street setback or the 150' required lakesliore setback. <br />2.While the property is approximately 1.5 acres in dr>' buildable <br />area above of the OHWL of Lake Classen, the buildable envelope <br />due to the required setbacks is only 1,800 s.f. <br />J.If additions were constructed to the southwest or south of the <br />house, they would eliminate the existing flat back yard area, <br />resulting in a steep slope directly behind the house. Given the <br />proximity of County Road 6, it would be appropriate to retain a <br />usable yard on the south side of the house. <br />4.Topography is generally sloping towards the applicants' property, <br />hence any additional drainage near the lot line caused by the <br />proposed additions will only impact the applicants, not the <br />neighboring property owner. <br />5.The proposed proximity to the lot line may have a negative <br />impact on existing screening between applicants’ house and the <br />neighboring house to the east, however the neighboring property <br />owner has indicated this is not a concern. <br />Page 2 of 6
