� <br /> � O� <br /> O O <br /> CITY of ORONO <br /> a � <br /> ti <br /> �'',�� �G'�' RESOLUTION OF T�HE�CI�TY�COUNC�L <br /> `�kEs�i�4� NO. <br /> 2. The property is located in the LR-1B, Single Family Lakeshore <br /> Residential zoning district,which requires a minimum lot area of 1 acre. <br /> 3. The Planniilg Commission reviewed this application at a public hearing <br /> held on March 15, 2004 and recommended conditional approval of <br /> vai-iances based on the following findings: <br /> a. Per Resolution No. 2047, adopted in 1986, the property was permitted <br /> hardcover of 52.2% hardcover witliin the 75'-250' zone and 2.5% <br /> hardcover within the 0-75' zone. <br /> b. The applicants purchased the property with non-conforming haxdcover <br /> • consisting of decks and additional driveway within the 75'-250' zone, <br /> and a shed within the 0-75' setback zone,which items were apparently <br /> added since 1986 by a prior owner,without City approval. <br /> c. The applicants removed 142 s.f. of non-conforming hardcover within <br /> the 75'-250' zone when they recently, without requesting the <br /> appropriate permits or approvals, reconstructed the existing decks <br /> which were rotted and unsafe. <br /> d. The Planning Commission finds no hardship to justify allowing the <br /> non-conforming shed to remain within the 0-75' setback zone. <br /> e. Planning Commission finds no hardship to justify allowing the <br /> portions of the newly constructed deck which extend into the average <br /> lakeshore setback to remain. <br /> f. The side setback variance of 5.8' is supported by the hardship of the <br /> � location of the home which extends 6.8' into the side yard setback and <br /> the new deck was constructed at the same side setback as the previous <br /> deck. <br /> g. There is no available property to purchase in order to make this lot <br /> more conforming. <br /> 4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings <br /> and recommendation of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, <br /> Page 2 of 6 <br />
