The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on July 19, 1993 and recommended approval of the proposed variances as amended based upon the following findings: A. The 4.9 acre parcel has approximately one acre of contiguous dry buildable area . B. Shoreland Regulations now require 100' setback for all structures from the Recreational Development lake that encroaches the property placing severe restrictions on the building envelope and making existing structures non- conforming. C. The existing septic system has been found to meet the 3' separation required by new Shoreland Regulations and septic code. D. The majority of the dry buildable area, approximately two-thirds of the dry buildable envelope is located within the 0-75' setback area where no hardcover or structural improvements are allowed. E. Structural setbacks for the newly class�ed shoreland property make it unbuildable for new development. F. Proposed structural improvements are at 2,562.6 s.f. or 6.2%, well under the allowed 15% structural coverage. G. Total hardcover based on the dry buildable portion of the 4.9 acre parcel is proposed at 5,998.8 s.f. or 14.5%. 4. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the variances would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City.
