The property is located in the LR-1C Zoning District, where 0.5 acres is the minimum required lot area. The property consists of approsimately 0.27 acres. 3. The Orono Planning Commission revie�ved this application on March 17, 2003 and recommended approval by a vote of 5 to 0. 4. The Planning Commission made the following findings of fact: A. The original structure has been located within this footprint since 1959; B. The property is unique in that it has lakeshore on the front and rear and almost all of the lot falls within the required 75' structure setback from the OHWL; C. The application does not propose to increase the footprint of the structure, change the existing setbacks or change the existing hardcover; and D. Additional vegetative screening alona the lake side of the residence will help to mitigate the visual impacts of the added height of the structure adjacent to the lake. 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 hazaxd 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 variances on the health, safety and welfare of the community.
