The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on May 18, June 15 <br /> and July 20, 1998 and on a vote of 6-0 recommended approval of a hardcover <br /> variance to allow hardcover on the property in the amount of 5,725 s.f. per the <br /> revised plans, and approval of a CUP for grading within the 0-75' lakeshore <br /> protected zones, based upon the following findings: <br /> a. The property currently contains a residence structure, detached gazage, <br /> � driveways, etc., portions of which are located within the 0-75' lakeshore <br /> protected zones, and which constitute a total of 7,258 s.f. pre-existing <br /> hardcover in the 0-75' and 75-250' zones, not including 0-75' zone <br /> landscape beds incorporating fabric or plastic weed barrier. <br /> b. The lot is by definition 97.5' in width where 100' is normally required <br /> and therefore meets the "80% standard" for construction on an existing <br /> lot of record. The lot width is sufficient.to a11ow construction of a <br /> • � � . . single family�residence which meets the required 75' lakeshore setback, . <br /> required 10' side setbacks, and which will not encroach the average <br /> lakeshore setback. At 0.71 acres in area, the lot meets the 0.5 acre <br /> minimum lot area standard. � <br /> c. The lot is unique in that it has 0-75' lakeshore protected zones on both <br /> its north and south ends due to its location on a narrow peninsula. <br /> d. Hardcover on the property under applicant's revised proposal will <br /> decrease from the pre-e�cisting level of 7,258 s.f. to 5,725 s.f. where only <br /> 3,798 s.f. (25% of the 15,190 s.f. 75-250' zone) would normally be <br /> ' allowed. The proposed level of 5,725 s.f. is equivalent to 25% of the <br /> combined azeas of the 75-250' zone and the southerly 0-75' zone. <br /> e. A variarice to allow use of the area of the southerly 0-75' zone in <br /> calculating allowable hazdcover is justified by the hardships imposed on <br /> the property by having lakeshore at both ends. Further, this level of <br /> hardcover is similar in magnitude to levels approved for other lots in the� <br /> LR-1C zone. <br /> • Page 2 of 7 <br />
