��a�o <br /> ��TY OF ORONO <br /> RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> � � 6538 <br /> � G~ <br /> j'�kFsxoRti N O. <br /> conforming 3�d story ailowing for the construction of the proposed improvements to the <br /> home; based on the following findings: <br /> a). Excluding the area of Crystal Bay Road, the Property contains 5,152.8 square feet in <br /> area (0.11 acre) and has 51 feet in width at the OHWL and 50 feet in width at the 75 <br /> foot setback. <br /> b). The Property is approximately 120 feet deep which significantly limits the buildable <br /> area. Other properties along Crystal Bay Road are very similar in that most have a <br /> portion of their respective homes within the 75 foot setback. <br /> c). The additions proposed are minimal and do not appear to result in a negative impact <br /> on the adjacent properties. <br /> d). The variance to alfow construction proposed additions on the Property which is <br /> substandard with respect to area and width will alleviate a practical difficulty inherent <br /> to the Property and was not created by the Applicant. <br /> e). The ApplicanYs proposal results in no increase in hardcover above the existing 49% <br /> where 25% is the maximum permitted for a Tier 1 property; similarly no increase in <br /> structural coverage above the current level of 1,294.2 square feet is proposed. <br /> �. The proposed setbacks do not exceed beyond the existing footprint and are not out of <br /> character with this neighborhood. The home on west side of the Property at 3355 <br /> Crystal Bay Road is one story home; the Applicant's west side addition is unlikely to <br /> impact existing views of the lake enjoyed by the neighbor at 3355 Crystal Bay Road. <br /> g). The variance to construct the proposed additions to the residence is in harmony with <br /> the general intent and purpose of the Ordinance. <br /> h). The variance to permit improvements to the existing residence in a residential district <br /> is consistent with the comprehensive plan. <br /> i). The Applicant has provided a survey reflecting the limited building envelope on the <br /> Property which is substandard lot area and lot width establishing that there are practical <br /> difficulties. <br /> j). The Applicant proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by <br /> the official controls; <br /> k). The circumstances unique to the Property were not created by the landowner. <br /> Page 2 of 5 <br />
