r � <br /> . �----- <br /> � O� <br /> • O O <br /> ��b. - CITY of ORONO �� <br /> � F � <br /> �� �,'�' RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> ��SH��� � NO. � � � � <br /> 4. In a second motion the Planning Commission voted 5 to 2 to recommend <br /> approval of variances to permit a lakeside addition to the residence, creating a <br /> further encroachment into the blufF area. This portion of the project includes the <br /> 13' of additional encroachment for the living room expansion. It was the <br /> minority opinion of the Planning Commission that the proposed building addition <br /> could be reduced in size. There was also a question whether a building <br /> , <br /> expansion towards the lakeshore constitutes a hazdship. <br /> � 5. The recommendations were based on the following findings and hardships: <br /> A. The property is ten plus acres. All but approximately 4% of the lot is <br /> located either within wetland, the bluff zone, and the required setbacks. � <br /> B. The present home was built in a legal location prior to the bluff <br /> ordinance. Any additions to the house would require variances. <br /> � C. � The site does not drain directly to the lake but rather to the 5-acre� <br /> wetland located at the base of the bluff. <br /> D. The topography of the lot uniquely restricts the ability to make an <br /> addition onto any part of the building. <br /> E. No addition could be built on the house that would not fall. within the <br /> impact zone. � � <br /> F. The area where the proposed lakeside additions are to be constructed is <br /> relatively flat with less than a 2' drop from the existing exterior wall and �� <br /> � . the proposed wall of the addition. � . <br /> 6. Planning Commission voted 7 to 0 to recommend denial of the variance to <br /> permit the garage addition to be located 20.5' from the side property line <br /> where a 30' setback is required. The recommendation of denial is based on the <br /> following: <br /> A. Any addition that would create a side setback encroachment for the <br /> . principal building would be inconsistent with the development patterns <br /> intended for properties in the LR-lA zoning district. <br /> � <br /> Page 2 of 7 <br />
