The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on July 16, 2001 and <br /> � recommended approval on a vote of 7 to 0 for variances based upon the <br /> � following findings and hardships: <br /> A. The existing lot area is 4.0 acres excluding wetlands, 4.8 acres including <br /> wetlands. The applicants property is one of many lots with a lot area <br /> just under 5 acres along Orchard Park Road. The lots east of Orchard <br /> Park Road are developed residentially. Relocating the house on this <br /> property will not change the use or chaxacter of tlze property. The <br /> existing house is located only 20' from the side lot line and 41' from the <br /> front property line. <br /> B. No setback variances for the new house location are required. <br /> . C. In 1992 the City of Orono issued a permit for construction of a garage. <br /> The gazage is the accessory building that would remain on the property <br /> following relocation of the house. The building is functional but has not <br /> been completed. <br /> 4. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar <br /> to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that <br /> granting the variances would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor <br /> pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely <br /> serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a <br /> demonstrable hazdship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial <br /> property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and <br /> intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br /> 5. The City Council has considered this application including the findings aiid <br /> recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments <br /> by the applicant and the effect of the proposed vaziance on the health, safety and <br /> welfare of the community. <br /> � � <br /> Page 2 of 5 <br />
