The Orono Plannin� Conunission reviewed this application at a public hearing held on <br /> February 20, 2007 and voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the conditional use pernlit <br /> and variance as requested, based on the following findings: <br /> a) The proposed garage will replace (or relocate) an existing garage on the property <br /> which was approved via CUP in 1990, but.the location of which has now become <br /> non-conforming as a result of the development of Glendale Cove. <br /> b) The existing 24'x24' gara�e will be relocated (or a new jara�e will be <br /> constructed) directly to the northwest of the main church buildina and 45' from <br /> the west property line. <br /> c) The proposed new garage location will be easily accessible from an existin� <br /> driveway and parking area. The garage will be visible from Glendale Drive, but <br /> should be relatively inconspicuous from most neighboring homes, due to its <br /> location and due to existing ve�etative screening to its west and northwest. The <br /> existin� garage is relatively low in profile, havin� a peak hei�ht of about 14', and <br /> will not eatend to a heiaht where it would become more visible. The proposed <br /> similar colors to the church buildin� will help to limit any visual impacts of the <br /> garage. <br /> d) The level of activitv associated with use of the gara�e is expected to be minimal, <br /> hence Plannin� Commission finds that the standards for Qrantin� a CUP are <br /> generally met. � <br /> e) The location of the gara�e 45' instead of the required 50' from the west lot line is <br /> due in part to the location of the existing driveway/parkinQ area and due to the <br /> dimensions of the garage. The parkina area curb is about 74' from the lot line, <br /> and with a proposed garage setback of 5' from the curb, a garage 24' in depth <br /> encroaches �' into the 50' setback requirement. The iinpacts of this encroacl_unent <br /> are minianal. <br /> 4. The City Council fiilds that granting a conditional use perniit will ilot be detrimental to <br /> the health, safety or general w�elfare of the public, would not adversely affect light, air nor <br /> pose a fire hazard or other danger to nei�hboring properties, nor will the proposed use <br /> depreciate surroundin� property values, and that the proposed level of use of the property <br /> will be in keeping with the intent and objectives of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive <br /> Plan of the City. <br /> Pa�e 2 of 6 <br />
