City of ORONO <br />RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br />NO. _ /11/,2_ <br />b) Rhode's current application calls for complete <br />removal of the carriage house consistent with <br />the conditions of Resolution No. 851. <br />17. There is presently in existence one seasonal dock <br />used jointly by the two easement holders referred <br />to in paragraphs 8 & 9 above. <br />18. Prior to purchasing the lot, Mr. Rhoae discussed <br />the "buildability" of the same with Hank Muhich, <br />then Zoning Administrator for the City. <br />19. Mr. Rhode was told that this lot had in the past <br />been determined to be "buildable" by prior Council <br />action, namely a lot area and lot width variance <br />approved for Fred Rogers in October, 1974, based <br />upon a September, 1974 survey attached as Exhibit B. <br />20. The fact that Mr. Rhode's "lot of record" exists <br />isolated from other undeveloped land makes it <br />unique and different from the conditions which apply <br />to other land in the area. <br />a) The substandard width and area are peculiar to <br />the lot and do not appl,• Generally to other <br />land in the area. <br />b) The lot cannot be combined with undeveloped land. <br />21. It is necessary that Mr. Rhode be granted a variance <br />as to lot size and width to preserve his enjoyment of <br />a substantial property right, to wit: the right to <br />build a single family dwelling on an LR-IB lot for <br />which he paid $45,000. <br />22. Without the variances as to lot size and width, Mr. <br />Rhode would suffer the particular hardship of not being <br />able to use his residential lot for residential purposes. <br />23. Residential use of the Rhode lot is a "permitted" use <br />in the LR-1B district, even though th• lot is substandard <br />in area and width accor inq to current zoning standards. <br />PAGE 2_OF 1„�, <br />
