5. <br />6. <br />7. <br />8. <br />9. <br />Prior to December 19. 19F \ the City Council always required that when two or <br />more lots were owned in c:jmmon. each lot must individually meet or exceed the <br />requirements of the Zoning Code before any of the lots can be built upon and that <br />two or more substandard lots owned in common must be combined so that the <br />resulting combined lot meets the requirements of the Zoning Code before the lots <br />can be built upon. <br />Upon completion of a 6 month City wide review of the common ownership issue, <br />on December 19, 1983, the City approved a proposed amendment of the <br />municipal code that would permit all substandard undeveloped lots within the <br />sewered areas of the City regardless of the ownership of the'-e lots, the same <br />standards for review. <br />The property is 16,748 square feet or 77% of the required area. The pn^perty <br />is consistent in area with 7 other developed lots within a totai developed <br />neighborhood of 33 lots. <br />The property measures 55 feet in lot width and is approximately 5 feet short of <br />the narrowest lots in the 33 lot Casco Circle neighborhood at 60 feet. <br />The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on April 19, 1993 and <br />a majority of its members recommended approval of the variances as proposed <br />based upon the following findings; <br />A. No available land - lots are developed on both sides of property. <br />B. <br />C. <br />K <br />F <br />The property is served with sewer and water. <br />A house and improvements tan be constructed without the need for <br />additional variances. <br />By granting this variance there will be no negative effect on the public <br />health, satety and welfare. <br />By granting this variance it is consistent with the development of the area. <br />By granting this variance there should be no need for future hardcover and <br />setback variances. <br />Page 2 of 6
