The Property contains 62,247 square feet (1.42 acres) in area and has in <br /> excess of 350 feet in defined width. The Property is an existing Lot of Record <br /> created in 1969 and meets the requirements of Orono Municipal Zoning Code <br /> Section 78-72(b)(2) to be utilized for single-family detached dwelling <br /> purposes by administrative approval. <br /> b. The Property is within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area and sanitary <br /> sewer is available to serve the Property. <br /> c. � The location of the residence structures on the adjacent lakeshore properties is <br /> such that the defined average lakeshore setback line leaves no buildable area <br /> within the Property. The proposed encroachment past the a�erage setback line <br /> will have minimal or no impact on views of the lake enjoyed by the <br /> neighboring property to the west. Therefore the proposed encroachment of <br /> the average setback line is justified. <br /> Page 2 of 7 <br />
