The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on August 21, 1995, <br /> and recommended approval of the variances as proposed based upon the following <br /> unique findings and hardships: <br /> A. Because of the curvature of the shoreline and the angle of the residence <br /> on the property, the deck will not be visible from the public view of the <br /> French Lake shoreline. <br /> B. French Lake is not used by public boaters. <br /> C. The deck cannot be seen from the residences on the adjacent properties <br /> because of the distance between residences, topography and natural <br /> screening. <br /> D. The deck at approximately 310 s.f. will be placed over 95 s.f. of existing <br /> hardcover improvements. <br /> E. Only a corner of the deck will extend 131' to the Ordinary High Water <br /> Level of the shoreline of French Lake. The majority of the deck will be <br /> placed behind the 131' setback. <br /> F. The interior layout of the upper level of the residence and the uses at the <br /> lower level limit feasible areas for extending deck. <br /> G. The majority of the residence is located within the 150' structural setback. <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 applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a <br /> demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property <br /> right of the applicants; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the <br /> Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br /> Page 2 of 5 <br />
