The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on <br /> September 15, 1986, and recommended approval of the proposed variance <br /> based upon the fol lowing findings: <br /> A) The current and intended use of the property is primarily for <br /> a single family residence, and that the guest apartment use is <br /> intended to serve multiple purposes, including housing of over- <br /> night guests and/or live-in help, and to serve as a staging area <br /> for entertaining. <br /> B) The residence is on a property containing 3.66 acres in area, <br /> and the proposed guest apartment use is compatible with the <br />� surrounding properties. <br /> 4. The City Council finds that this guest apartment is .unique in that� <br /> it contains no direct access to the main living areas of the house <br /> except through the garage, hence the guest apartment, although it is <br /> attached, can potentially function as a separate guest house, and <br /> should be subject to the minimum 2-acre lot area standard in this LR- <br /> 1B, 1-acre" zoning district, per Section 10.20, Subdivision 3 (G). <br /> • 5. The City Council has considered this application includin the <br /> g <br /> findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by <br /> City staff, comments by the applicant and the effect of the proposed <br /> variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community. <br /> Page 1 of 4 <br />
