This application was reviewed as Zoning File #1382. <br />2. The property is located in the LR-IB Single Family Lakeshore <br />Residential Zoning District. <br />3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on <br />February 21, 1989, and recommended approval of the proposed variance <br />on a vote of 3 in favor, 2 against, based upon the following findings: <br />A) The proposed addition is almost entirely over an existing <br />patio hardcover area, hence the impact of new hardcover is <br />minimal. The applicant proposes to remove a long shed structure <br />near the lakeshore, resulting in an overall decrease in 0-75' <br />hardcover of 1 s.f. Hardcover in the 0-75' zone will not <br />increase above the existing 21.9% level. <br />B) The necessary variance for encroachir ,nt past the average <br />lakeshore setback line should be approved since no views enjoyed <br />by neighboring property owners will be affected by this <br />construction. <br />Page 1 of 4
