Sonifi9 Fil* 11311 <br />August Ilf 1968 <br />FAg« 3 ot 3 <br />eoftitmct ncv additions cither outside the 0'*7S* sons or no closer to tho <br />lake than the esistinq house. There is no question that this property has <br />unique circuestances coepared to cost other lakeshore in Orono» but is <br />certainly typical of other Pagernest Folnt properties that have lake on <br />both ends of the lot. Looking at the other variances granted for <br />properties "up and down the line* from Purdy's# the addition of above-grade <br />structure closer to the vest lakeshore than the existing house has no <br />precedent since a<f^tron of the setback in IHtTI Certainly# a file <br />search could likely reveal a few such approvals in other areas of the City <br />since 1975# but it would be unusual in this imediate neighborhood. <br />STApp jtBaMiimDATxoa <br />Pro® the standpoint of hardcover and runoff# it would seen that the <br />proposed additions can be constructed such that roof drainage can be <br />directed eastward, and with the use of permeable fabric rather than plastic <br />under decorative rockfcmds# rsinfall infiltration can be eaxieised, hence <br />this addition can be completed in a manner that will meet the hardcover <br />intent of Resolution 11814, if not the actus 1 percentages previously <br />approved. <br />Prom the standpoint of view encroachment due to additional above-grade <br />structure in the average lakeshore setback sons# the proposed addition will <br />have an insignificant effect on views currently enjoyed by neighbors. Prom <br />the standpoint that this addition will craate additional above-grade <br />structure closer to the west Iskeshore than the existing house# this would <br />be an unprecedented approval in the immediate neighborhood. Planning <br />Commission must determine whether a reasonable hardship exists and whether <br />the lakeshore setback variance is justified. If the Planning Comniasion <br />recommends approval# Staff would suggest conditioning that approval on <br />limiting the height of the structure to just the single story proposed at <br />this time# and that all roof drainage be directed to the east side of the <br />property. <br />Planning Commission may also wish to consider structural trade-offs of <br />the various sheds on the property, not only west of the house# but at the <br />lakeshore east of Pagerness Point Road# which according to plat maps, is <br />still “no-man's-land*. <br />r*
