3. <br />4. <br />The property is 0.6 acre in area and contains an existing residence which was <br />constructed in 1959. <br />The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on September 18, <br />1995 and again on October 16. 1995 after revisions were made by the <br />applicants, and on a vote of 4-1 recommended approval of the proposed <br />variances as revised based upon the following findings: <br />A.The proposed 10:12 pitched roof to replace the existing flat roof will <br />result in an update of the appearance of the residence without increasing <br />the height to a level inconsistent with other homes in the neighborhood, <br />and will not appear e.xcessive as viewed from the lake, given the minimal <br />21' setback of the existing house from the lake. The originally proposed <br />third level addition plus 10:12 pitched roof was considered by Planning <br />Commission as excessive. <br />The proposed pitched roof and 12 s.f. triangular addition which encroach <br />lakevvard of the average lakeshore setback line will have no impact on <br />views of the lake enjoyed by neighboring properties. <br />The proposed one stall garage addition and north side bumpout will be <br />located 16' and 19' from the side lot line respectfully, where a 30‘ <br />setback is normally required, but both additions are further from the side <br />lot line than the existing garage at 8.3’ from the lot line, which garage <br />is intended to remain in place. Neither of these additions will have an <br />impact on the neighboring property. <br />Tlie prop*- '1 enuy way addition and north side bumpout which constitute <br />additional structure and hardcover in the 0-75' setback zone will have no <br />impact on neighboring properties, arc located further from the shoreline <br />than the bulk of the existing house, and will be offset by hardcover <br />decreases in the 0-75 ’ zone which reduce 0-75' hardcover from 39.18% <br />to 36.14%. <br />Page 2 of 6 <br />I
