7 <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />I. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST <br />A variance application is being applied for to build a 30 foot x 28 foot <br />garage. This building will have the same roof pitch and 3 inch steel <br />siding with white trim matching the house. Landscape timbers and <br />decorative rock will border the garage on three (3) sides, matching the <br />decor of the house. <br />II. HARDSHIP AND DESCRIPTION OF UNUSUAL. PROPERTY CONDITIONS <br />The sole purpose of variance is to build a larger garage. The location <br />of my present garage prevents me from building at that location be- <br />cause I am only three (3) feet from my south lot line. Mature evergreen <br />trees prevent me from building further to the east. I also have a circular <br />driveway that prevents me from building to the west and north. The garage <br />at its present location is elevated approximately 3 feet above a flower <br />garden which z don't want to lose. Considering excavation costs, loss of the <br />flower garden, and loss of the circular driveway, it would be too costly <br />and very impractical for me to build at this location. <br />The proposed placement for the new 30 foot x 28 foot garage will be in <br />the northwest corner of Lot 010. The north side of the garage (back side) <br />would be 5 feet from the east -west lot line and be 18 foot 4 inches from <br />the bituminous surface of Crystal Place. The west side of the garage <br />(left side) would be 10 feet from the north -south lot line and would be <br />20 feet 6 inches from the bituminous surface of Navarre Avenue. <br />The northwest corner of Lot #10 is the most practical and economical <br />site on which to build the new garage, as it does not obstruct the view <br />from the douse, needs no excavation, and does not require clearing trees. <br />Robert J.
