The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on March 18,2002 and recommended approval of the proposed variances based upon the following findings: : { . A. The property has been developed with a residential use since at least 1950. B. The site plan indicates the proposed setbacks meeting 10'side yard,35'front yard and 30' rear yard as required for LR-1B zoning district. ' C. The detached accessory building will be the only garage/storage space on the property. D. The lot size is consistent with that of other developed properties in the neighborhood. � E. The adjacent properties on either side of applicant's property are developed � with existing single family residences,hence no additional land is available to make the lot lazger. � F. The residence and garage meet the 15% lot coverage by structures for the property. � � G. The hardcover variance is necessary because the 500-1000' zone which contains the driveway, is a very small part of the rear of the lot. There is no other hardcover that can be removed to compensate. 5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this properiy 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 hazazd or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicants,but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicants; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. 6.
