The property is located in the LR-1C, Single Family Lakeshore Residential <br /> Zon.in� District. <br /> 3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on August 21, 1995, <br /> and recommended approval of certain requested variances and denial of other , <br /> requested variances based upon the following findings: ,y <br /> A. The lot area and lot width variances should be granted since a residence <br /> already exists on the property and no addi�ional land is available for <br /> purchase by the applicant to make the lot area and width more <br /> , conforming. <br /> B. The proposed variance to allow construction of a deck in the 0-75' <br /> lakeshore setback zone should be denied because no adequate hardship has <br /> been justified to support such a variance. The removal of the existing <br /> • residence and deck area affords every opportunity and ability to construct <br /> a residence and deck meeting the required 75' lzlceshore setback, and the <br /> relative location and current use of the residence structure on the adjacent <br /> properry do not provide sufficient hardship to justify the ;ranting of the <br /> requested lakeshore setback variance. <br /> C. The average lakeshore setback variance is justified based on the location <br /> of the adjacent house to the north which is extremely distant from the lake <br /> and therefore creates an average setback line which would force <br /> apglicant's proposed residence to be similarly distant from the lakeshore, <br /> resulting in not one but two residences out of character with the general <br /> residential development in the neighborhood. <br /> D. The applicant has proposed to remove the existing detached garage which <br /> is 0.1' from the south side line and move that garage to a location meeting <br /> all setback requirements. <br /> E, The requested variances to allow a side setback of 9.5' on both the north <br /> and south side lot li.nes where a 10' side setback is normally required, are <br /> justif ed by the elimination of the existi.ng 1.6' south side setback by <br /> replacing that structure with a new structure meeting 95% of the required <br /> • Page 2 of 7 <br />
