Curtis noted this application appeared before the Planning Commission at its August meeting and was tabled to allow the applicant time to incorporate the hardcover removals and calculations on their plans. The Commission also recommended the applicants reduce the amount of proposed hardcover and to prepare a storm water plan and calculations. Curtis noted this application only deals with the lot that is located in Orono. The applicants are requesting hardcover variances and a side yard setback variance in order to construct a 20' x 26' two -story living space addition to the existing home with a 0' setback from the side lot line where a 10 -foot setback is required as well as construct a roof over a deck which would be 6.4 feet from the side lot line where a 10 -foot setback is required. The applicants are now requesting a 75 -250 foot zone hardcover variance to allow 34.85 percent hardcover where 25 percent is allowed and 44.4 percent currently exists. They are also requesting a hardcover variance in the 0 -75 feet zone for 21.5 percent hardcover where 0 percent is allowed and 22.6 percent currently exists. The property contains a great deal of landscaping, patios, parking areas, pathways, walls and structures. It is Staff's view that there is still a considerable amount of hardcover on the property. Neither the two -story living space addition nor the porch addition meet the required 10 -foot side setback i requirement on their respective sides of the home. The applicants have also submitted a storm water plan Page 4 of 16
