The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on Apri121, 2003 and <br /> recommended approval of the proposed variances based upon the following fmdings: <br /> A. The property has been developed with a residential use since at least 1950. <br /> B. The site plan indicates the proposed setbacks meeting 10'side yard,35'front <br /> yard and 30' reaz yard as required for LR-1B zoning district. <br /> C. The detached accessory building will be the only garage/storage space on the <br /> property. <br /> D. The lot size is consistent with that of other developed properties in the <br /> neighborhood. <br /> E. The adjacent properties on either side of applicant's property are developed <br /> with existing single family residences,hence no additional land is available to <br /> make the lot lazger. <br /> F. The residence and garage meet the 15% lot coverage by structures for the <br /> property. <br /> G. The hardcover variance is necessary because the 500-1000' zone which <br /> contains the driveway, is a very small part of the rear of the lot. There is no <br /> other hardcover that can be removed to compensate. <br /> 5. The City Council finds that tfie conditions existing on this property are peculiar to <br /> it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting <br /> the variances will not adyersely affect traffic conditions, light, air, nor pose a fire <br /> hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a <br /> convenience to the applicants,but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship <br /> or di�culty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicants; <br /> and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and <br /> Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br /> 6. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and <br /> recommendations of the Planning Commission,reports by Ctty Staff,comments by <br /> the applicants and the effect of the proposed variances on the health, safety and <br /> welfare of the community. <br /> Page 2 of 5 <br />
