Zoning FUe #2103 January 11, 1996 Page 5 Paric Commission at their February meeting. This matter may best be addressed by the Park Commission. The exterior finish of the structure will be very similar to the exterior finishes of the existing school structure. The lower portion of structure will be of exposea masonry veneer brick and upper levels of the strucnue will be of an exterior installation finish system similar to that of the Orono City facility. The roof will be metal much like the City buildings. Land Use Review Exhibit L-1 (R-IA code), note the various high impact/intense uses allowed within the residential districts via a conditional use permit. Staff does not believe there is a suitable or existing fit for the proposed use within the code. If the use is to be reclassified as an accessoiy use under the principal use, what happens when the property is no longer owned by the School District but is purchased b> the Hockey Association or another entity? Review Exhibits Dl-8, option to lease agreement states that lease may be written for a 35-55 year period but during that time it may be possible for the Hockey Association to purchase the property. How is the use to remain an accessory use when there is no formal connection to the School District? What is a reasonable setback for a 160’x240' proposed ice area from an adjacent residential lot line? The setback standards for existing conditional uses range from 50' to 150*. Note the school conditional use setback is 50'. No fiuther discussion on die use as this is to be resolved at your 9:00 p.m. public hearing. Need for Variances It is difficult to determine the exact number of variances when we have yet to determine an exact fit in our code for the proposed use but variances will be required per existing code sections. Review Exhibits G and H, we will be dealing with a height variance as the structure exceeds the allowed 30' of height. Topography along the west lot line will minimize the impact of the structure upon the residential property*. Review your west elevation, the structure is 28' above finish grade. Note the cuts into weste.m elevation in the southwest comer. Land alteration (unless drainage swale) must be located 10* from a lot line. The parking lot shown at a 20' setback from the street lot line would require a variance, refer to Exhibit L-6, top of page 384, "Open parking spaces on lots must have a location other than a required yard except that such parking may be located in a rear yard to within 10' of an 1 5
