This application was reviewed as Zoning File #1337. <br />2. The property is located in the LR -1C Single Family Lakeshore <br />Residential Zoning District. <br />3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on <br />November 21, 1988, and recommended approval of the requested variances <br />based upon the following findings: <br />A) The proposed garage will replace an existing garage which is <br />located 3.3' from the side lot line, hence a greater setback than <br />now exists will be obtained. <br />B) The side setback variance is justified based on the location <br />of the existing driveway and applicant's desire to not move that <br />driveway and disrupt additional lawn area. <br />C) Placement of the garage behind the extended west line of the <br />t house in order to avoid a variance would necessitate the removal <br />of a number of mature trees and would eliminate the current rear <br />yard area enjoyed by applicant. <br />Page 1 of 4 <br />
