M;.ryy/ RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL 473 1 �kESS NO. 2. The property is located in the RR-1A, Single Family Rural Residential Zoning District. 3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on November 19,2001 and recommended approval of variances by a vote of 7 to 0. 4. The Planning Commission made the following findings of fact: A. Horses are a permitted accessory use in the RR-1A district. The minimum setback for a private barn from any lot line is 75'. The minimum setback from adjacent residences is 150'. The barn location meets standards required for special setback regulations that apply to private barns and stables. B. The property was part of the recent 6 lot plat of Kokesh Farm. This lot is a record lot meeting minimum lot width and lot area requirements for the zoning district. C. In November,2001 the City of Orono issued a demolition permit and the old non-conforming house and garage were removed. The house was non- conforming because it was located within the 100' front yard setback. D. A 50' pasture easement is located over the south 50' of this property. The easement was recorded by the developer of Kokesh Farm and is for pasture use by the propery owner to the south. The proposed development does not impact the 50' easement. E. The proposed house location meets all required setbacks. The house was located to take advantage of existing topography for a walkout and to locate the building a greater distance from the street. F. New soil testing and septic design has been submitted by the property owner and approved by the City On-Site Systems Manager. The final septic design is for a 4 bedroom house but could be expanded to a 5 bedroom if needed. G. The proposed outdoor riding area(paddock) is located in the front yard and is located in an area that is near the barn and is suitable for pasture purposes.

The Municipal Code permits one oversized accessory building on a lot subject to the condition the building meets all required principal building setbacks and property owner shall agree to covenants that state: a) No future subdivision will be approved that places the structure within a lot that has no principal structure, except that the City in its subdivision approval may grant a finite time period in which the oversized accessory structure may remain without a principal structure, in order that a principal structure may be constructed. At the end of this time period the oversized accessory structure must,be removed if no principal structure has been constructed. b) If the property is subdivided, the oversize accessory structure and principal structure will be located together within a lot that meets the minimum lot area requirement for the given size of accessory building. c) In subdivision approval,the setback required for the oversize accessory structure as defined herein shall remain. 5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the variances will not adversely affect traffic conditions,light,air,nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. • 6. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission,reports by City Staff, comments by the applicant and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community.
