City of ORONO <br />RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br />NO. 1814 <br />H) The property contains certain items of hardcover which <br />may be changed so that they become non -hardcover, with a <br />relatively minor effect on the applicAnt's current use of <br />the property. <br />C) The variances, if approved, with certain concurrent <br />removals of hardcover will be approximately equivalent to <br />variances recently granted to the adjacent property to the <br />north. <br />4. The existing garage is non -conforming in that it is located <br />partially upon the road right-of-way. The existing topography of <br />the Int creates a hardship in relocating this garage to a con- <br />forming location. <br />5. The proposed addition to the south of the house will create <br />approximately 96 square feet of new structure in the 0-75' set- <br />back zone, of. which 72 square feet is new (not pre-existing) <br />hardcover. This encroachment extends 8' into the 75' setback <br />zone but continues an Axisting house line, and due to topography <br />and the relative locations of the adjacent houses, the en- <br />croachment will have no effect on the lake views of the adjacent <br />property owners. <br />6. From the :standpoint of drainage, the majority of the proposed <br />new hardcover is located more than 100' from the lakeshore, and <br />most of the resulting additional runoff would have substantial <br />yard area for absorption before reaching the lakesnore. <br />7. The total existing hardcover in the 0-75' setback zone is <br />1921 s.f. or 24.3%. The total existing hardcover in the 75-250' <br />setback zone is 1.99 s.f. or 16.91. After all proposed additions <br />and concurrent removal of hardcover, the net increase in overall <br />hardcover on the property is about 275 s.f., with final 0-75' <br />hardcover of 1095 s.f. or 13.91 and final 75-250' hardcover of <br />2568 s.#. or 29.0%. <br />S. The Ci _y Council has considered this application including <br />the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, <br />reports by City staff, comments by the applicant and the effect <br />of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the <br />community. <br />Papa 2 of 6 <br />
