This proposal, (on a narrow site) conforms to the <br />side yard setbacks on both sides with 8'-0" setbacks on each side which is greater than the minimum 7'-6" setback. <br />Street side setback: <br />Currently, the existing detached garage is conforming to the 30'-0" front yard setback to the property line. This <br />proposal expands this setback to 60'-10" due to attachment of the garage to the house. <br />Lake setback: <br />Current structure is non -conforming with a 72.9 setback from the lake. This proposal expands this setback to 89'-3". <br />Hardcover improvements: <br />The existing hardcover is at 46.49 %. This proposal results in 35.49 %, or an 11 % reduction of hardcover. In as <br />percentage of what is existing, this proposal drops the existing hardcover by 1384 square feet. <br />The conforming lot area is 20,000 square feet. This lot is 12, 581 square feet or 62.9% of that required. When all the <br />exact requirements for a 20,000 square foot lot are directly applied to a lot 62.9% smaller than required, this in and of <br />itself constitutes very practical difficulties in many requirements. We can not change the area of the lot nor the width <br />of the lot. Variances for lot area and lot width must be allowed to continue. <br />Comments on proposed pergola: <br />We are proposing a lakeside pergola which is supported by brackets which ties into the Craftsman style look the <br />owners are going for. Most all of the pergola members fall within the area of the existing home, however, there <br />would be a bracket and one member on the Southeast side that falls outside the existing footprint. There would not <br />be any columns or obstructions to view because they are 10'-0" off the ground, however, if the City of Orono will not <br />approve this, the plan is to move the entire home back 4'-0" so as to have nothing encroach into the average <br />lakeshore setback. <br />4 6 4 S e c o n d S t r e e t S u i t e 1 0 0 E x c e l s i o r M N 5 5 3 3 1 <br />p h o n e 9 5 2. 4 7 0 9 7 5 0 f a x: 9 5 2 4 7 0. 8 4 0 7 <br />w e b s i t e s h a r r a t t d e sign . c o m e m a i l: i n f o@ s h a r r a t t d e s i g n. c o m <br />
