City of ORONO <br /> CITY • RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> OF NO. 2407 <br /> ORONO <br /> WHEREAS, the City Council hereby makes the following additional <br /> findings of fact regarding the proposal: <br /> 1. The property is located in the LR-1C, Lakeshore Residential Zoning <br /> District and consists of 14 , 363 s.f .• or 0. 33 acres. The LR-1C <br /> .district requires 21,780 s.f. or 0.50 acres in area. <br /> 2. The proposed land alterations on the property are located entirely <br /> within the 0-75' lakeshore setback zone where 0% hardcover is normally <br /> allowed. The existing hardcover on the property in the 0-75' zone is <br /> 19 .7%. <br /> 3. The Council finds that approval of the proposed deck at grade <br /> level will have no significant impact on views enjoyed by neighboring <br /> properties, and in conjunction with concurrent removals of existing <br /> hardcover, and minor reduction in the size of the proposed deck, the <br /> goal of not increasing hardcover in the 0-75 ' zone can be <br /> accomplished. <br /> 4. The Council finds that restoration of the erosion occurring along <br /> the applicant's lakeshore bank as a result of the July 23, 1987 storm <br /> can be suitably accomplished without excavation extending all the way <br /> to the basement wall of the house. The Council finds that any <br /> hardship imposed on the property by the bank erosion is not <br /> significantly related to the excavation proposed to create a walkout <br /> or a 3' terrace level extending to the house. <br /> 5. The major land alteration proposed in conjunction with the <br /> excavation to create a walkout or a 3' terrace level within the <br /> lakeshore protected area (0-75' from lakeshore) is found to be in <br /> complete conflict with the following principals and goals set forth in <br /> Orono's Community Management Plan: <br /> Page 3 of 10 <br />
