CITY of ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. ^ 4 0-------- 1. 2. 3. FINDINGS This application was reviewed as Zoning File #1919. The property is located within the LR-IC Single Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District. The Orono Plar ring Commission reviewed this application on April 18,1994 and tabled the request pending proper public hearing legal notice and suggested specific plan revisions. The Planning Commission further reviewed the revised proposal at a public hearing on May 16, 1994 at which time all members of the public wishing to comment were heard. On a vote of 5-1, Planning Commission recommended approval of the revised plans, based on the following hardships and justification: The applicants’ house which existed on this property for many years was destroyed by fire in December 1993. The existing lot area and width cannot be increased because no adjacent vacant property is available for acquisition. a. b. c. d. The existing garage on the site located 1.95’ from the MUth side lot line and 21.8’ from the street lot line was not destroyed in the fire and is proposed to remain in its current location with attachment to the propo^d residence rather than remaining detached as it previously existed. The roof line of said garage is intended to be revised, but footprint of the garage remain as fs. The side and street variances are justified based on the existing location of the garage. Pre-existing hardcover in the 75-250' zone was 47.6%. Hardcover in that zone is proposed to reduce to 41.4%. Further reductions to *e 25% hardcover limit ate not feasible if a residence is to be allowed on the property. The increase in lot coverage by strucSr«^m-18.4% pre-existing to 21.0% is due mainly to addition of an open deck on the lakeside of the residence. Page 2 of 6
