This application was reviewed as Zoning File#03-2893. . • Page 1 af 7 . : y r r � O� • O �+ O . � � CITY of ORONO � � . ,t� ti �� G~' : RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL � � `�kEsKO�`' � � No. � � 1 � 2. The property is located in the LR-1B Lakeshore Residential Zoning District,which requires minimum lot area of 1.0 acres and minimum lot width of 140'. The lot has a defined width of 157' at the OHWL and 150' at the 75' setback line, but is only 28,648 s.f. (0.66 acres) in area. � . 3. The Planning Commission initially reviewed this application at a public hearing held on May 19,2003 and on a vote of 5-0 recommended approval of the variances for lot area, average setback and accessory structure without a principal structure during construction,but tabled the hardcover and bluff impact variance to allow applicant to reduce hardcover to nearer the 25% limit. - " 4. The Planning Commission reviewed the applicants'revised proposal on July21,2003 and on a vote of 7-0 recommended approval of hardcover in the amount of 28.2%in the 75-250'zone; approval of 5.7%hardcover in the 0-75' zone subject to removal of the existing 8'x 12'shed in that zone;approval of a 4'encroachment of the required � • 30'bluff setback for the new house, subject to reconfiguring the existing deck to be located no closer than 15'from the top of bluff where a 30'setback is required;these approvals being based on the following findings: a) A house has existed on the property for many decades. The lot area of 0.66 acres is sufficient to allow construction of a new residence on the site. The property is served by municipal sewer. � b) The property contains an existing residence structure and detached garage. .. The house will be removed by the applicant in order to construct a new residence on the property. The applicant intends to re-use the existing garage, which is relatively ne�v, in good condition, and conforming in location, but � which is oriented and elevated in relation to Highwood Road in a manner � � which requires substantial driveway to be functional and provide for safe access while providing off-street parkin�needed because Highwood Road is very narro�v.The applicant has agreed to reconfigure the driveway to reduce its associated excessive hardcover. c) The site contains a bluff feature. A small portion of the proposed house will be located 26' from the top of bluff where a 30' setback is required. An � � existing deck serving the house is 2'from the top of bluff. This deck will be reconfigured to meet a 15'setback from top of bluff. The bluff impact zone • Page 2 of 7 1� . , . , � � O� • O ' O . . CITY of ORONO r� ' ' .;... ►� ti � �� G~' RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL � ; �kEs�I04 NO. D O �. � and setback encroachments are necessary to allow the house to be located where it will allow for minimizing the driveway hardcover on the street side of the house. d) Existing hardcover in the 0-75'zone includes retaining walls, stairways and landings which are necessary to maintain the steep slopes and provide access . to the lake. The applicant proposes to keep 683 s.f. of walls, stairways and � landings resulting in a 0-75'hardcover of 5.7%. The applicant has agreed to remove an existing 8'x12' shed in the 0-75'zone. � ' e) Existing hardcover in the 75-250'zone is 6,180 s.f.or 37.1%. Final proposed hardcover in the 75-250'zone is 4,690 s.f.or 28.2%.The hardships supporting the 75-250'zone hardcover variance include the steep slopes which limit the house location and require walls and walkways;the topography near the road . . and the elevation and configuration of the existing garage which will remain, • and the need to provide safe access to the property while retaining adequate parking on-site since the narrow High�voocl Road is inadequate for parking. fl The average lakeshore setback encroachment of approximately 12' for the proposed house will have no impact on views of the lake enjoyed by the adj acent property owners. The proposed reconfigured deck is low enough to similarly have no view impacts. 5. 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 public, and the effect of the proposed variances on the health, safety and�velfare of the community. � 6. 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 would 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 propertyright ofthe applicant;and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and �� Comprehensive Plan of the City. • Page 3 of 7 :. � °� . • � ° � '� CITY of ORONO s � -. ;.. � ti �� G~' RESO.LUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL `9kEsH.og' N0. � � .�. � .
