� °� <br /> �, <br /> O CITY of ORONO <br /> �a - <br /> � �, RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> � �ti <br /> �� �G NO. � � � � <br /> �kESH�g' <br /> a. The Property contains 16,252 square feet (0.37 acre) in area and has 92 feet in <br /> width at the OHWL and 83 feet in width at the 75-foot lake setback. <br /> b. Hardcover in the 0 to 75 foot zone is currently 125 s.f. (1.9%) which includes <br /> an 83 s.f. concrete sidewalk to traverse the slope from the house to the lake, <br /> and a 42 s.f. pumphouse. Applicants propose to remove the pumphouse <br /> leaving 0-75' hardcover at 1.3%. <br /> c. Hardcover in the 75-250' zone is currently 4,630 s.£ (47.5%) consisting of an <br /> 1,873 s.f. resid�ce, bituminous driveway,' concrete slabs/stoops/walkways, <br /> flagstone walls and walkways, wood retaining walls and a small canopy. The <br /> proposed deck area of 324 s.f. includes a stairway to grade alongside the <br /> hause. A portion of the deck is over existing walkway hardcover. Applicants <br /> propose to remove 282 s.f. of bituminous driveway, 42 s.f. of concrete, 133 <br /> s.f. of flagstone walks, and 11 s.f. of flagstone walls. The net result is a 75- <br /> 250' zone decrease of 144 s.f. or 1.5%. <br /> d. The Applicants' proposal results in an overall total reduction in hardcover on <br /> the Property from the current levels by 42 s.f. within the 0-75' zone; and by <br /> 144 s. f. within the 75' —250' zone. <br /> e. The existing house sits more than 60' from the road and has a side-loading <br /> garage, requiring additional area for backing up. The main driveway entrance <br /> is 11' in width and not excessive. Portions of the backup apron deemed by the <br /> applicants as unneeded for backing are being removed. An area of driveway <br /> adjacent to the side of the garage is needed for storage purposes. Other areas <br /> of hardcover to remain are primarily needed to retain or traverse the slopes on <br /> the property. <br /> f. The applicants have established a buffer area adjacent to the lakeshore where <br /> vegetation will remain unmowed to serve as a filtration area for runoff, and <br /> propose to establish a system of rain barrels or cisterns to control runoff <br /> adjacent to the house and driveway. <br /> g. The lot was legally created and the existing house built prior to the adoption <br /> of the current zoning standards. The property owner is proposing to add a <br /> deck which is a reasonable use. The overages in hardcover are to a great <br /> extent a function of the existing house location and the topography of the site. <br /> Page2of5 <br />
