They have proposed to remove the side-load garage doors and move the doors to the <br /> south side for an end-load garage. This will allow them to change the driveway so that they do <br /> not need to utilize the neighboring property for access. They are requesting to increase <br /> hardcover by 127 square feet in the southwest 0 to 75' zone; reduce hardcover by 38 square <br /> feet in the northeast 0 to 75' zone; and increase hardcover by 218 square feet in the 75' to 250' <br /> zone for a total increase of 307 square feet. � <br /> Baldur Park Road as it approaches the applicants' property is approximately±12 feet wide. The <br /> applicant is proposing to remove a large blacktop area in front of the garage as it is currently <br /> oriented. Some of the blacktop removal is proposed within Puzak's easement resulting in a ±12 <br /> wide driveway before it widens out on Puzak's own property. Puzak reviewed the proposed <br /> plans and expressed concern regarding the proposed hardcover removals within the area of his <br /> easement and emergency vehicle access to his property. Staff discussed the issue with Correy <br /> Farniok, Orono's Police Chief and determines that any width in driveway in excess of±12 feet <br /> has no additional emergency access benefit. Puzak may appear at the public hearing to discuss <br /> his concerns further. <br /> Practical Difficulties Statement <br /> Applicant has completed the Practical Difficulties Documentation Form attached as Exhibit B, <br /> and should be asked for additional testimony regarding the application. <br /> Practical Difficulties Analysis � <br /> In considering applications for variance, the Planning Commission shall consider the effect of <br /> the proposed variance upon the health, safety and welfare of tf�e community, existing and <br /> anticipated tra�c conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the <br /> 2 <br />
