There is no question that this property has <br />unique circumstances compared to most other lakeshore in OronOf but is <br />certainly typical of other Fagerness Point 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'sf the addition of above-grade <br />structure closer to the west lakeshore than the existing house has no <br />precedent since adoption of the 75* setback in 1975. Certainly^ a file <br />search would likely reveal a few such approvals in other areas of the City <br />since 1975# but it would be unusual in this immediate neighborhood. <br />STAFF RBCOMMEIIDATION <br />From the standpoint of hardcover and runoff# it would seem 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 rockbeds# rainfall infiltration can be maximized# hence <br />this addition can be completed in a manner that will meet the hardcover <br />intent of Resolution #1814# if not the actual percentages previously <br />approved• <br />From the standpoint of view encroachment due to additional above-grade <br />structure in the average lakeshore setback zone# the proposed addition will <br />have an insignificant effect on views currently enjoyed by neighbors. From <br />the standpoint that this addition will create additional above-grade <br />structure closer to the west lakeshore 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 Commission <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 Fagerness Point Road, which according to plat maps# is <br />still "no-man's-land". <br />C. . <br />■ • <br />i *it -1. <br />i- J 1 <br />, -» r *■* •' <br />e fr <br />u <br />A- .-ir: <br />-i <br />H- <br />i <br />^■4 <br />'y-: <br />rm <br />■I <br />CITY OF ORONO -Initial Applica ($50.00 per e Renewal Varianc (no change fr After-the-Fact <br />PROPERTY LOCATI <br />Site Address <br />Property Identi <br />Please check on <br />Attach legal d< <br />required survey <br />APPLICAHT <br />Ncune <br />Address: <br />OWNER (if diffe <br />Name <br />Address: <br />Date Prope: <br />I (do) (do <br />ww w 1 <br />PRESENT USE OF ! <br />Present Zoi <br />Present Us< <br />DESCRIPTION OF ] <br />Describe r< <br />VARIANCES RBQOIl <br />Lot I <br />Setback Vai <br />Other
