The property was developed in 1958 prior to the adoption of the zoning <br /> ordinance. <br /> B. The existing house is located 29.8'from the front property line and 22.4'from <br /> the east property line. <br /> C. The setbacks on the property leave a minimal building pad that could not be <br /> used for additions to the existing structure. The orientation of the house and <br /> location of historical access limits the addition to the east side of the house. <br /> D. The property is located in the Crystal Bay neighborhood where most lots are <br /> similar in size and dimension to the applicant's property. <br /> E. A platted,but undeveloped,alley is located immediately east of the property. <br /> The City of Orono has no intention to open the alley for construction of a <br /> public right-of-way. <br /> F. Vacation of the alley was discussed at the Planning Commission meeting. It <br /> is the position of Staff and the Planning Commission the entire neighborhood <br /> should jointly apply for a vacation of the alley. If the alley were vacated at <br /> some time in the fiiture,6'would go to each adjacent property owner. Utility <br /> easements would be required over the entire 12' because the alley is used for <br /> utilities. There would be 12'between the center of the alley to the corner of <br /> the proposed garage addition. <br /> G. The height of the house will not be increased by the proposed addition. <br /> �. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to <br /> it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that grantin� <br /> the variances will not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air, nor pose a fire <br /> hazard or other danger to neijhborin� property; would not merely serve as a <br /> convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship <br /> or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; <br /> and �vould be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and <br /> Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br /> .
