The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this renewal application on <br /> September 16, 1996, and recommended approval of the average lakeshore <br /> setback variance of 4' and hardcover variance of 1.7% within the 75-250' setback <br /> area based upon the following unique findings and hardships: <br /> A. The encroachment to the average lakeshore setback is minimal at 4' and <br /> will have no negative impact upon the lake views of the adjacent <br /> residences. <br /> B. The existing residence is located 1 1/2' in front of the average lakeshore <br /> setback line. <br /> C. The City has received written acknowledgment by both adjacent <br /> • neighbors that they have been made aware of the plans for improvement <br /> and the City has received no comments from either neighbor. <br /> D. Hardcover in the 0-75' setback shall be reduced by 178 s.f. existing at <br /> 391 s.f. or 4.04% and proposed at 213 s.f. or 2.2%. <br /> E. Proposed total area or size of the residence structure is consistent with <br /> the size and areas of surrounding residences on adjacent properties at <br /> similar areas. <br /> F. The existing bituminous drive and backout apron is required to maintain <br /> safe access to the adjacent County Road. <br /> G. Structural coverage is proposed at 8.4% where the code would allow <br /> 15%. <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 variance 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 hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial <br /> • properry 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 /> Page 2 of 6 <br />
