3. The porch encroaches 6.5' ahead of the average lakeshore setback where no
encroachment is allowed.
4. The porch increases the,percentage of structural coverage on the lot to 16.4%
where 15% is allowed.
5. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on February 17, 1998
. and recommended denial of the proposed variances based upon the following
findings:
. 1. Adequate hardship has not been demonstrated by the applicant.�
2. Allowing the screen porch to remain and be completed may have a
- negative impact on views.
� • 3. The porch was constructed over an existing deck. If the necessary
variances were approved, significant retrofitting of the structure would
have to take place to bring the structure into compliance with city code.
4. While not enclosed with a solid roof or windows, the porch is considered
structure.
6. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are not
peculiar to it and apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that
granting the variances would merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, it
is not necessary to alle�iate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; it is not
necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; and would not ,
� . be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the�Zoning Code and Comprehensive
Plan of the City.
7. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and
recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments
by the applicants and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety
and welfare of the community.
