WHEREAS, the City Council hereby makes the following additional <br />findings of fact regarding the proposal: <br />1. 2he property is located in the L."--1C, Lakeshore Residential Zoning <br />District and consists of 14,363 s.f. or 0.33 acres. The LR-1C <br />district requires 21,780 s.f. or 0.50 acres in area. <br />2. The proposed land alterations on the property are located entirely <br />within the 0-75' lakeshore setback zone where 0% hardcover is normally <br />allowed. The existing hardcover on the property in the 0-75' zone is <br />19.7%. <br />3. The Council finds that approval of the proposed deck at grade <br />level will have no significant iiopact on views enjoyed by neighboring <br />properties, and in conjunction wish concurrent removals of existing <br />hardcover, and minor reduction in the size of the proposed deck, the <br />goal of not increasing hardcover in the 0-75' zone can be <br />accomplished. <br />4. The Council finds that restoration of the erosion occurring along <br />the applicant's lakeshore bank as a result of the July 23, 1987 storm <br />can be suitably accomplished without excavation extending all the way <br />to the basement wall of the house. The Council finds that any <br />hardship imposed on the property by the bank erosion is not <br />significantly rela' ' to the excavation proposed to create a walkout <br />or a 3' terrace level extending to the house. <br />5. The major land alteration proposed in conjunction with the <br />excavation to create a walkout or a 3' terrace level within the <br />lakeshore protected area (0-75' from lakeshore) is found to be in <br />complete conflict with the following principals and goals Set forth .in <br />Orono's Community Management Plan: <br />Page 3 of 10 <br />
