CITY of ORONO <br />RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br />NO. 3 6 5] <br />B. The new garage addition will result in the removal of the existmg <br />detached garage \Vhich is located Jess than 3' from the south side Jot line <br />where current standards for a detached garage would require a 1 O' <br />minimum setback, thereby eliminating this non-conforming structure. <br />C. The proposed location of the garage/bedroom/bath addition in the <br />northerly half of the property will minimize the amount of driveway <br />hardcover in the 75-250' zone. <br />D . The proposed sunroom is over an existing deck and therefore constitutes <br />no new hardcover in the 75-250' zone. Further, the proposed sunroom <br />does not encroach on the average lakeshore setback, and its location 27' <br />from the lot line will have no impact on neighboring properties. <br />E . The increase in hardcover on the property from 23 .9% to 26. 7% is being <br />minimized by removal of a portion of the existing deck, as well as <br />removal of the detached garage and existing sidewalk . Hardcover in the <br />250-500' zone of 19.9% where 30% would be allowed also is a positive <br />aspect of the proposal. <br />F . Because the existing septic system is located in the area of the proposed <br />garage/bedroom/bath addition, and because that septic system must remain <br />in use until/unless municipal sewer is provided to the property , it is <br />appropriate that construction of this addition be delayed until such time <br />that se"ver is available, while the sunroom addition will not be hindered <br />by the septic system location . <br />4 . The City Council has considered this application including the findings and <br />recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments <br />by the applicant and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and <br />welfare of the community. <br />Page 2 of 6
