This property is located in the LR-1 C Zoning District,where 1/2 acre is the minimum <br /> lot area. The property consists of 4,901 s.f. <br /> ;. The Orono Planning Commission review�ed this application on August 24,2000 and <br /> recommended approval by a vote of 6 to 0. <br /> 4. The Planning Commission made the follo�ving findings of fact: <br /> A. The property has been developed for many years. The property owners have <br /> stated the existing residence is in need of major repairs and would prefer to <br /> construct a new house rather than remodel and add to the existing house. The <br /> variances are required due to the small size of the lot. The lot size is .11 acre <br /> in a '/2 acre (.5) zoning district. <br /> B. The house would meet the 10' side setback requirements. <br /> C. It is not possible to meet a rear setback of 30' and maintain an adequate <br /> setback to the lake or Cry�stal Ba�•Road. Proposed is an 8' setback to the rear <br /> property line. <br /> D. The lot is only 4,901 s.f. �vhich �vas platted and developed prior to the <br /> adoption of the zonina ordinance. It ��-ould not be possible to purchase <br /> additional land from the adjacent residential properties as they are similar in <br /> size to the subject lot. <br /> E. To establish an adequate setback to the lakeshore and Crystal Bay Road, an <br /> 8' setback to the rear property line is appropriate. The property to the rear is <br /> a 100' railroad right-of-«-ay, not residential property. <br /> 5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to <br /> it and do not apply generally to other property in this zonin� district; that granting <br /> the variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air, nor pose a fire <br /> hazard or other danger to neiahborinQ property; would not merely serve as a <br /> convenience to the applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship <br /> or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property ri�ht of the applicants; <br /> PaQe 2 of 6 <br />
