The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on May 17, 1993, and <br /> recommended approval of the variances as proposed based on the following <br /> findings and hardships: <br /> A. Lot narrows at the midpoint of the property measuring 55' at the <br /> lakeshore and 35' to the rear. <br /> B. The applicant proposes a reduction of hardcover within the 0-75' setback <br /> area at 1.7%. <br /> C. Emergency access can be achieved via 10+ foot corridor between adjacent <br /> residences to the east and west. Prime access to site will be from the <br /> south from the municipal hydrant. <br /> D. Total structural coverage is proposed at 1,724 s.f. or 14.1% where 15% <br /> would be allowed. <br /> E. Proposed lakeside replacement deck will reduce the encroachment of the <br /> average lakeshore setback line by 21'. The existing deck is 15' in width. <br /> The proposed deck will be 101/2' in width. <br /> F. The home was constructed prior to existing zoning requirements. <br /> G. No additional land is available to allow for expansion without the need of <br /> variances. <br /> H. The property has steep slopes to south creating unique drainage problems. <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 property <br /> right of the applicant; 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 7 <br /> Furor 5005 a,►Popo <br />
