bock from that same corner of the existing house. Note that there is currently no house on the southerly <br /> lot. But because the new ho�se is set back much further from the sautheriy property line (31'),viewing <br /> from a possible house on that lot would also be improved over what the existing house afforded.Thus, <br /> while we have sited the house to optimize our views, it actually improves the potential sightlines of the <br /> neighboring parcels. <br /> Hardcover Variance <br /> As you can see from the attached site plan,the increased southern setback will also serve to facilitate <br /> water drainage from the high point of land just past the southwest corner of our property. Water will <br /> flow more naturally from the back of the property to the lake, thereby minimizing the threat of erosion <br /> and lake contamination. <br /> There is also a heavy tree line on the west side of the easement forcing us to look closely at ingress, <br /> egress, and parking needs. Because parking is not permitted along the easement, and the easement is a <br /> fair d+stance from the public street,we need additional driveway space for the convenience of guests, <br /> We must be able to graciously weicome elderly relatives,families with young children, and guests <br /> visiting on cold and rainy nights. <br /> Keep in mind that the current hardcover on the property is 29.02%. We are reducing it to 27.2%. Also <br /> please note that we are moving the new house farther back from the lake than the existing house. A <br /> section of the existing house now sits only 65' from the lake,and we are proposing the new house at 75' <br /> or more from the lake. <br /> We are meeting all other massing, height, and structure codes. We would ask that you give thoughtful <br /> consideration to the hardships of this site and our variance request. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> ,___� /,.� r _.. <br /> , , ` <br /> . � � <br /> , �_., . <br /> __:._. <br /> . <br /> , � ., �. . <br /> , <br /> _� . , z � <br /> . �... , .r . _.. ; � t.�. <_ _ <br /> � � ._ ') ' <br /> Melissa & Peter Santrach <br /> RECEIVED <br /> F�B 1 7 2016 <br /> # 3 8 1 � CITY OF ORONO <br />
