The <br />property owners a^d'the proposed construction <br />«5id^ a hill makinq it invisible to any adjacent property <br />owners. The difficulties of this PfIfal^iched previously by tne city and a copy of a 1986 variance is attacnea <br />detaili.ng many va"iance*when it required 5641 square?reroriLIcov^fin'’iL''!:7l"fonr"we ave^worhedw city <br />to brina the current figure down to 4557 square feet. __ <br />variance request will raise t.he hardcover to only 4927 square <br />feet bv takinq out driveway space. <br />tL original home and this proposed addition were both <br />designed by the nationally recognized architect, doh" P°“®' <br />the Prairie School. The addition will f’-«.9-acefully into the <br />present home and landscape and create an .f’^F^^rin itssire within Orono. The home is on one of the largest lots in its <br />neighborhood yet is one of the ^nallest houses in terms of square <br />footage. In addition, the house has .no basement and <br />limited storage area. The conversion of the two <br />living space and addition of a 2 to 3 car garage will Sc . ,. <br />the house small relative to its comparaole neighbors. We belie <br />the allowance of the use of our lot as a hcmesite originally <br />recognized tL lo^s peculiarity and the city-s desire to allow <br />some^flexibility in its use due to the hardship imposed. e <br />appreciate this effort by the city.
