This application was reviewed as Zoning File #1919. <br /> 2. The property is located within the LR-1C Single Family Lakeshore Residential <br /> Zoning District. <br /> 3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on April 18, 1994 and <br /> tabled the request pending proper public hearing legal notice and suggested <br /> specific plan revisions. The Planning Commission further reviewed the revised <br /> proposal at a public hearing on May 16, 1994 at which time all members of the <br /> public wishing to comment were heard. On a vote of 5-1, Planning Commission <br /> recommended approval of the revised plans, based on the following hardships and <br /> justification: <br /> a. The applicants' house which existed on this property for many years was <br /> destroyed by fire in December 1993. The existing lot area and width <br /> cannot be increased because no adjacent vacant property is available for <br /> acquisition. <br /> b. The existing garage on the site located 1.95' from the south side lot line <br /> and 21.8' from the street lot line was not destroyed in the fire and is <br /> proposed to remain in its current location with attachment to the proposed <br /> residence rather than remaining detached as it previously existed. The <br /> roof line of said garage is intended to be revised, but footprint of the <br /> garage remain as is. The side and street variances are justified based on <br /> the existing location of the garage. <br /> c. Pre-existing hardcover in the 75-250' zone was 47.6%. Hardcover in that <br /> zone is proposed to reduce to 41.4%. Further reductions to the 25% <br /> hardcover limit are not feasible if a residence is to be allowed on the <br /> property. <br /> d. The increase in lot coverage by structures from 18.4% pre-existing to <br /> 21.0% is due mainly to addition of an open deck on the lakeside of the <br /> residence. <br /> Page 2 of 6 <br /> Fam SW5 Disk Oram <br />
