The property is located in the LR-1B, Single Family•:Lakesliore Residential <br /> Zoning District, requiring 1 acre in area and 140' of l�t width. <br /> 3. The Orono Planning Commiss�on reviewed this application on January 16, 1996 <br /> � and further reviewed revisions to the application on April 15, 1996 and <br /> recommended approval of the proposed variances based upon the following <br /> � findings: <br /> A.
