Zoning File #1353 <br />November 14, 1988 <br />Page 6 of 6 <br />Staff Recoaaiendation - <br />Staff would advise the Planning Commission to review the materials and <br />exhibits submitted by the applicants. It would also be helpful to view <br />this property if you have not already done so. <br />In staff's opinion, there are no hardships that have been presented <br />that justify allowing this pool to remain, and there are no unique <br />circumstances about this property that would suggest that those variances <br />would be appropriate. Approval of these after-the-fact variances would be <br />precedent setting, and would in staff's opinion jeopardize the integrity of <br />Orono's lakeshore policies, philosophies and ordinances. <br />The applicants were advised from the start that staff could not in any <br />way support this application. Staff recommends denial of the requested <br />variances, and recommends that the pool and all associated materials be <br />removed from the property, and that the lakeshore yard be restored to its <br />original grade and vegetation cover. Furthermore, staff would recommend <br />that the applicants be required to remove the pool maintenance structure, <br />and either place it in a conforming location or remove it from the <br />property.
