This application was reviewed as Zoning File #1065. <br />2. The property is located in the RR-lA Single Family Rural <br />Residential Zoning District. <br />3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on <br />September 15, 1986, and recommended approval of the proposed <br />variance based upon the following findings: <br />A) The applicants intend the apartment to be used as a <br />guest apartment only and have no intent to rent the <br />apartment. <br />B) The apartment, as designed, is on the walkout level of <br />the house and may be :,ccessed from within the main house as <br />well as from direct exit to the rear yard at the walkout <br />level, or indirectly to the garage. <br />4. This property was ^reated by a subdivision approved prior to <br />the adoption of the RR-lA zoning district standards. The lot <br />technically has a width of 140' at the 100' front yard setback <br />line, hence does not meet the required 300' width standard and <br />technically required a variance to obtain a building permit. <br />However, the lot is 964' wide at the building site and therefore <br />at that point exceeds the required point. <br />5. The City Council has considered this application including <br />the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, <br />reports by City staff, comments by the applicant and the effect <br />of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the <br />community. <br />Page 1 of 4 <br />
