FINDINGS <br />1. <br />2. <br />3. <br />This application was reviewed as Zoning File #2135. <br />Th. property is located in the LR-IA, Single Fantily Lakeshore Residential <br />Zoning District. <br />The Orono Planning Contmission originally reviewed <br />1996 and reviewed revisions to the application on July ’ <br />of 5 to 1 recommended approval of the proposal as revised based upon the <br />following findings; <br />A Factors which make this a difficult lot in terms of developrnent include <br />steep topography, shallow lot depth between street arid lake leaving <br />virtLly'^no conforming building envelope, and the location of the <br />existing house almost entirely within the 0-75' lakeshore setback none. <br />B Replacement of the existing detached garage which encroaches 0.2' into <br />the^right-of-way. with an attached garage located 8 from the right-o - <br />way, is a positive improvement to the neighborhood. <br />c The proposed location of the main portions of the house approximatdy <br />30' from the street lot line is not inconsistent with other houses in th <br />neighborhood on the lake side of r-ong .ake Boulevard. <br />tne^xisting house and the undesirability of constructing additions on the <br />south side of the house, justifies granting of the variance for additions o <br />the north side of the house away from th lake. <br />D Tbe proposed second story additions and attached garage addition are <br />modest I scope and do not yield a residence structure that is out of <br />character for this lot in this neighborhood. <br />E Neither adjacent lakeshore lot will have existing lake views encroached <br />■ upon by the proposed additions, hence the average lakeshore setback <br />variance will have no impact on those properties. <br />Page 2 of 9
