As <br /> approved the tennis court would be 30 feet from the southerly property line, 22 feet from the <br /> northerly property line and 30.5 feet from the right of way of Casco Point Road. Although <br /> the house is not complete, grading was done in the Autumn. In doing so the applicant <br /> � realized that the tennis court and driveway would fit the site better if the tennis court was <br /> shifted so it was 22 feet from the southerly property line and 30 feet from the northerly <br /> property line. <br /> Hardship Analysis <br /> In considering app[ications for variance, tl:e Planning Commission s/eall consider tlee effect of t1:e proposed <br /> variance upon the l:ealt/i, safety and welfare of the commu�:ity, existing and anticipated traffic conditions, <br /> light and air, danger of fire,risk to tl:e public safety, and tlie effect on values of property i�:tl:e surrounding <br /> area. The Planning Commission sliall consider recommending approval for variances from t/:e literal <br /> provisions of tlie Zoning Code in instances wliere il:eir strict enforcement would cause undue leardsl:ip <br /> � because of circumstances unique to t/ie individual property u�zder consideration, a�:d s/:a[I recommend <br /> approval only w/ten it is demonstrated that sucl: actions wil!be in keeping with tl:e spirit and intent of t/ee <br /> Orono Zoning Code. <br /> � Issues for Consideration � � <br /> Drainage was a major issue with the original application. Would the change'impact . <br /> drainage? There will be no change in the drainage pattern. The additional separation <br /> between the tennis court and the driveway will provide more space to convey runoff to the <br /> area behind the tennis court. <br /> Staff Recommendation <br /> Approval of the request. <br />
