. �o�o <br /> C I�'Y OF aRONO <br /> �ESOLUTION OF T'HE CITY COUNCIL <br /> �� G� 6 � � � <br /> NO. <br /> t�kE S H��� <br /> a. The Property has 24,136 square feet or 0.55 acres in area and 61 feet at the <br /> OHWL and 61' at the 75-foot setback. <br /> b. The variance is in harmony with the general intent and purpose of the <br /> Ordinance. The Owner proposes to construct a new detached garage <br /> resulting in no net increase of hardcover over existing levels. The <br /> construction of a garage in a residentially zoned property is consistent with <br /> the Ordinance. <br /> c. The variance is in harmony with the general intent and purpose of the <br /> Ordinance. The Comp Plan has directives which are put in place to protect <br /> the lake, limit massing and hardcover. While the overall mass on the <br /> Property may increase, the proposed plan results in neither an increase in <br /> structural coverage (over the permitted 15% level) nor hardcover. <br /> d. The proposed garage will be located in a compliant location. <br /> e. The Owner has established that there are practical difficulties. <br /> f. The Owner proposes to use the Property in a reasonable manner not permitted <br /> by the official controls. <br /> g. The Property is long and relatively narrow. There is approximately 4,000 <br /> square feet of driveway needed to access the home and allow for on site <br /> parking. These are circumstances unique to the Property not created by the <br /> Owner; <br /> h. The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. The proposed <br /> garage does not appear to result in a negative impact on the character of the <br /> neighborhood. <br /> i. The home and attached garage are approximately 200 feet from Casco Point <br /> Road, resulting in a significant amount of hardcover to serve the Property via <br /> a lengthy driveway. Other lots in the area have similar configuration; the <br /> proposed level of hardcover is not out of conformance with the general <br /> neighborhood. <br /> j. There does not appear to be superfluous hardcover to remove to result in a <br /> functional and conforming level of hardcover on the Property. The existing <br /> level and site constraints serve as a practical difficulty. <br /> Page 2 of 5 <br />
