The proposed site plan has reduced hardcover in the 75-250' setback. <br /> B. The reduction of hardcover is due to a second driveway being removed and <br /> large portion of the existing parking area being reduced. <br /> , <br /> C. The proposed garage addition will replace an existing detached garage on the <br /> property. A new detached garage is proposed to be constructed at the rear of <br /> the property approximately 210' from the house. <br /> D. The existing house meets the required 75' lakeshore setback and average <br /> lakeshore setback. � <br /> E. The current house was constructed prior to adoption of the current zoning ` <br /> . . standards. The house was constructed 8' from the property line at the corner <br /> where the property addition will meet the existing house. The house is <br /> constructed on the lot closer to the property line on the north side, towards <br /> the lake. The addition thus moves further from the side property line as the <br /> addition moves further from the lake. The 2' variance allows the garage <br /> addition to continue the line of the existing house while maximizing usable � <br /> yard space east of the addition. <br /> F. The property is one of only a few residential lots in the City of Orono that is <br /> located adjacent to a B-2 (Commercial — Marina) zoning district. The . � <br /> . proposed house additions will help to screen the marina use next door and <br /> protect the small amount of yard area located on the east side of the house. <br /> G. The lot is a "back lot". Another residential lot is located between North <br /> Shore Drive and the property. <br /> 4. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it � <br /> and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district;that granting the , <br /> variances will not adversely affect traffic conditions,light,air,nor pose a fire hazard <br /> or other danger to neighboring property;would not merely serve as a convenience to <br /> the applicant,but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is � <br /> • necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; and would be in � <br /> keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the <br /> City. <br /> Page 2 of z • <br />
