AkETIHG To: Orono Council Members l U 12 1�O5 From: Michael P. Gaffron, Assistant Zoning Admini d, iator 1Y OF Date: August 1, 1985 NV Subject: #938 Robert Nash 10 Townline Road - Variance Zoning District - RR-lA, 5-. _ Application - Side setback variance to construct a pole barn for Storage and for use as a stable for horses. List of Exhibits Exhibit A - Application Exhibit B - Plat Map Exhibit C - Property Owners List Exhibit D - Survey Exhibit E - Staff Sketch Exhibit F - Letter From Neighbor The applicant wishes to construct a 301x40' or 301x48' pole barn near his north lot line to be used both for storage of equipment and to stable one or more horses. This would appear to fall under the category of a private stable or barn per Section 10.02.65, and is not restricted to the 1000 square foot area requirement, but "should" maintain a 150' setback from the nearest lot line per 10.02.65, and "shall" be located at least 150' from the nearest off -site residence per 10.03, Subdivision 18(B). The property is 5.8 acres total, of which approximately 5.5 acres is dry buildable. The applicant wishes to construct this barn as near to the north lot line as possible (see sketch). Staff would make the following observations about this property: 1. This property and that to the immediate north are 5-acre lots in a 5-acre zone and are not subdividable under current zoning regulations. 2. Both this property and that to the north have established residences and both are currently maintaining a limited number of horses, which is an established use for the properties. 3. The properties to the east and south are undeveloped and the proposed barn will be located more than 150' from these lot lines. 4. The proposed barn will be located 400 feet or more from the residence to the north. 5. Applicant has a hardship in that the property width is only 223', hence a 150' setback from both side lot lines is impossible.
