t GITYof ORONO ETHECIT 8737RESOLUTION OtTHEJIlTY COUNCIL NO. _ 3.The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on June 17, 1996 and recommended approval of the proposed variances on a \ ote of 7 to 0 based upon the following findings: A. B. Since all proposed additions meet the 50’ street setback, no steet setback vari: nee is required. The location of the proposed additions to the east of the existing house and as near as 5' to the east side lot line is appropriate based on the following unique findings: 1. Additions of the same magnitude as those proposed could not be located elsewhere on the property without encroaching the 50' required street setback or the 150' required lakeshore setback. 2.WOtile the property is approximately 1.5 acres in dry buildable area above of the OHWl of Lake Classen, the buildable envelope due to the required setbacks is only 1.800 s.f. 3.If additions were constmeted to the southwest or south of the house, they would eliminate the existing flat back yard area, resulting in a steep slope directly behind the house. Given the proximity of County E.oad 6, it would be appropriate to retain a usable yard on the south side of the house. 4.Topography is generally sloping towards the applicants' property, hence any additional drainage near the lot line caused by the proposed additions wiil only impact the applicants, not the neighboring property owner. 5.The proposed proximity to the lot line may have a negative impact on existing screening between applicants' house and the neighboring house to the east, however the neighboring property owner has indicated this is not a concern.
