The property contains an existing residence structure and detached garage,comprising <br /> `lot coverage by structures' of 9.3 % where up to 1 S % is normally allowed. The <br /> existing residence, garage, decks, sidewalks, driveways, and other calculable <br /> hardcover on the property totals 354.1 s.f. or 5.2 % in the 0-75' lakeshore setback <br /> zone where no hardcover is normally allowed; 4,998 s.f. or 31.7% in the 75-250' <br /> lakeshore setback zone where only 25%hardcover is normally allowed; and 293 s.f. <br /> or 5.9 % in the 250-500' zone where up to 30% hardcover is normally allowed. <br /> 4. Hardcover on the property after proposed additions and equivalent concurrent <br /> removals will not change from the existing numbers and percenta�es in the 0-75'and <br /> 250-500' zones but �vill decrease to 4,601 s.f. or 29.1% in the 75-250' zone. <br /> Proposed lot covera�e by structures will be approximately11.3%,well below the 15% <br /> maximum allowed. <br /> �. 'I`he applicants had initiallyrequested a side setback variance to allow the construction <br /> of a first story kitchen addition above an existing basement office room located 1 foot <br /> from the side lot line where a 10' side setback is normally required. <br /> 6. The Orono Plannin� Commission revie�ved this application on Apri121, 2003 and <br /> recommended approval of the requested hardcover and average setback variances on <br /> a vote of 7-0, conditioned upon revision of plans to remove the basement setback <br /> encroachment and construct additions meeting the required 10'side setback,limiting <br /> 75-2�0' hardcover to no more than the existing level of 4,998 s.f., and encroaching <br /> no further into the average lakeshore setback, based on the following findings: <br /> a) The additions when constructed per the recommended conditions will result <br /> in no loss of existing views of the lake enj oyed by the affected property owner <br /> directly to the south, due to the increased side setback from the existin� <br /> situation and existin� topography and vegetation. <br /> b) The proposal concurrent removals in existing hardcover�vill result in no net <br /> increase in hardcover on the site. <br /> c) The eYistin�basement in the area of the proposed kitchen addition is 1 foot <br /> from the side lot line where a 10' setback is required, and is not structurally <br /> sufficient to support a story above it. This basement must be removed and <br /> • replaced in order for such addition to occur.There is no hardship justification <br /> Page 2 of 6 <br />
