The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on June 19, 2000 and recommended approval by a vote of 4 to 0. 4. The Planning Commission made the following findings of fact: A. The structural coverage on the lot will remain at a level of 14.87%,meeting the 15%lot coverage limitation,based on the applicant's proposed revisions to the existing deck on the lake side of the residence. � B. The 75-250' hardcover on the lot will decrease from the existing level of 55.4%(5,061.7 s.f.)to 48.9%(4,468.7 s.f.)as a result of proposed hardcover removals in the 75-250'zone. The impact of the hardcover variance is offset ' by the lack of hardcover in the 0-75' zone. C. The construction of an expanded second story above the existing 1-1/2 story � � residence located as close as 2.9'to the side lot line will have no significant impacts on the adjacent property. D. The lot is undersized for the LR-1C zoning district. 5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the variance would not adversely affect tr�c conditions, light, air, nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicants,but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicants; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. 6.
