7. We have children ages 3 % years and 2 weeks old. If we put the children in the <br />lakeside yard, then there is danger of the lake and they are crawling around in the <br />grass and they are bitten by lots of bugs. If we can just get the children a little bit <br />higher off the grass, then the bug bites are significantly reduced and of course we <br />can make a safety enclosure on the deck so that the children cannot get to the lake. <br />Finally, the children on the deck can be clearly seen from inside the house, which <br />would not be the case if we had a lower play area on our lawn. <br />8. Our whole problem with our house and lot starts with the fact that we have a <br />sharply angled shoreline from northwest to southeast. This causes the original <br />house to be partly within the 0 ’-75' zone. If the shoreline were more straight, we <br />believe we would have a less serious problem in that we would be able to have the <br />entire house outside of the 75' zone and we could make a much easier layout of <br />driveway, house, deck, front lawn and lake. Second, our lot size is small and there <br />is no way around that. The hardcover percentage limitations you used are easy to <br />work with when you have a 2-acre Orono lot. On a small lot, the percentages are <br />overly burdensome. Third, because of the safety problem backing out onto <br />Shadyw'ood Road and the no parking on Shadywood Road, we need a larger <br />driveway, parking area and turnaround than would normally be the case on a lot <br />our size. Finally, our neighborhood is all existing houses and is now fully <br />developed. There is no other land for us to acquire and there are no other houses <br />to be built nearby that we know of. <br />EB01:883680 I
