- HARDSHIP STATEMENT <br /> FOR <br /> THE BOWEN RESIDENCB <br /> 98� EDGEWOOD HILLS ROAD <br /> We have lived at 985 Ed�ewood Hills Road �or twelve years. In 1998 an addition wae <br /> constructecl o{�o�our house to the aoutheast to pravide a dec� and aunroorn area. It was soon <br /> a�ter t�is t�at it was evident the road noiae �rom County Roacl 15 would hamper any�Zind of <br /> outaide living. Our home is located high above County Road 15 and there is really no way to <br /> shield the southerly side o�our�ouse �rom the �i��way noiae. Because o�this, we as�xed Bruce <br /> W. Schmitt F�Associatea to desi$n a porc� t�at would be on t�e northerly side o�our �ouse <br /> which would shield us �rom the hi�hway noise by t�e house itsel�. <br /> We were advised that auch an addition would require a variance. We have since contacted our <br /> nei��ora who liave all indicated that they would kave no objection to such an addition on t�at <br /> side o�our home. The extent o�t�e addition is shown on the drawin�s. <br /> Ed�ewood Hills Road is a private easement road not maintained by the City of Orono and we <br /> actually own to the center line o�the road. The eteep alope o�our site doea not allow us the <br /> �exibility o�buildin� a shielded structure o{�to the southeast. Our site actually falls {rom the <br /> bac�yard o�ou.r house all the way down to County Road 15 ±68 �eet. We feel that wit� this <br /> steep site, even t�ou�h a rather lar�e site, t�ere really is no ot�er place �or us to go to be s�ielded <br /> �rom t�e noise o�County Road 15 and we as�x t�at t�e Plannin� Commission and Council <br /> consider our �ards�-up. <br /> � r . ;� ;.... <br /> � -, � `'� . <br /> � , . , <br /> (/ �i/ � .
