s ....01L KONG F E B 111985 To: Orono Council Members ORVNO From: Michael P. Gaffron, Assistant Zoning Administrator Date: February 4, 1985 Subject: #887 Frederick Winston, 765 Spring Hill Road - Variance - Resolution Zoning District - LR-lA - 2 Acre Single Family Lakeshore Residential Application - Request to construct a 1,920 s.f. machine storage building (maximum allowed accessory structure is 1,000 s.f.) List of Exhibits Exhibit A - Application Exhibit B - Property Owners List Exhibit C - Plat Map Exhibit D - Site Plan Exhibit E - Building Plans The applicant is represented by the builders, Ebert Construction and Supply of Loretto. Applicant is requesting to construct a 301x64' machine storage building on his property of approximately 11 dry acres. The proposed building will be located 108' from the east lot line and 102' from the south lot line. From the plans submitted, it appears this is to be constructed as a storage building and not a horse barn, hence it is not subject to the 150' setback. It does meet the 10' accessory structure setbacks. Applicant states that the design of the building would not readily lend itself to a horse barn conversion. The Building Official notes that an accessory structure of this size must meet certain building code standards which will apply. Also note that the 1000 square foot accessory structure size limit exists because larger structures tend to attract other miscellaneous uses in residential zones. Planning Commission at their January 21, 1985 meeting recommended approval, finding that the proposed use and location is compatible with the relatively large acreage, subject to the following conditions: 1. The use of this structure is limited to private residential storage. 2. The structure may never be used as a second dwelling unit. 3. No plumbing may be installed in the building. 4. The building may not be used as a stable or horse barn. Staff recommends approval per the attached resolution.
