� Clt� o� ORONO • RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL � NO. 2168 � . ' � - • • ,. 3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on April 20 and May 4, 1987, and recommended approval of the proposed variance based upon the following findings: A) The property averages 40' in width, encompasses 0.21 acre in area, and contains an existing residence located 1.9' from the north side lot line and 12.3' from the south side lot line. B) Because the applicant has determined he must replace his foundation in order to add a proposed second story to his house, he has the opportunity to center the residence on his lot, there- by making his house more conforming to the required setbacks. C) The second story addition will encroach 3' into each required 10' side setback zone, but will have no significant effect on light, air or open space enjoyed by neighboring properties. • D) Proposed hardcover in the 75-250' lakeshore setback zone will increase from 27.8� existing to 30.8� by addition of a deck and room expansion. The hardship in this case is the small area of the lot. There are no proposed hardcover increases in the 0-75' lakeshore setback zone (6.8� existing). E) Planning Commission finds no hardship to justify a house extention that will encroach past the average house lakeshore setback '�line. F) The Planning Commission finds that the location of the second story deck on the lake side of the house to the south is such that it is appropriate to define the "average lakeshore second- story deck setback line" as shown on Exhibit A attached, defined as a line between the Northeast corner of the second story deck at 2032 Shadywood Road and the Northeast corner of the first story deck at 2016 Shadywood Road. Planning Commission finds no justification to al low extention of a second story deck past this defined setback line. Likewise, a ground level deck for 2024 Shadywood Road should not extend past the average ground level . � deck setback line as defined on Exhibit A attached. 4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicant and the effect of the proposed • variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community.
