P October 16, 1995 Nis. Jeanne Mabusth Building & Zoning Administrator City of Orono 2750 Kelley Parkway P.O. Box 66 Crystal Bay, ININ 55323 Dear Ms. Mabusth: My wife and I recently purchased the home and property at 1473 Bay Ridge Road. We have lived in Webber Hills in Orono for 23 years and all of our children have gone through Orono schools. The Bay Ridge home is the smallest of the eight homes in the neighborhood and is the only home with a detached garage. Originally, many of the homes had detached garages. We respectfully request minor variances in side setbacks and in hardcover to accommodate additions to the home. The side setbacks for our proposed additions are generously consistent with the side setbacks of our immediate neighbors for their homes to the corresponding property lines. Please find enclosed signed approvals from these two adjacent neighbors for the proposed side setbacks and the specific proposed work. This request is consistent with the additions and setbacks on all of the other properties in the neighborhood and would probably still result in this still being the smallest home in the area. Our proposed expansion to the east (lakeside) will be well behind the line connecting the points, closest to the lake, of the two adjacent properties as noted on the survey. The requested variances are: 1. East sun room addition Side setback of 27 feet measured perpendicularly from the nearest corner of the sun room addition to the south property line. 2. West attached garage/guest bedroom addition Side setback of 10 feet measured perpendicularly from the nearest corner of the garage to the north property line. 3. Hardcover Hardcover variance in the "75-200 foot zone" from 25.0% to 26.7%. If the actual water area of the pool is deleted from the calculation, since there is obviously no runoff from this area, the proposed percentage reduces to 22.8% and therefore no variance would be needed.
