O CITY of ORONO • ��' � � $�`e�=� ,� RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL �, '� �� ':�� , No. 3 4 4 2 Y � ��y � O��G E3I; 3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on April 18, 1994 and May 16, 1994 and recommended approval of the variances as amended based upon the following unique findings and hardships: A. The 15,965 s.f. or .36 acre property is subject to standards for a one acre zoning district. B. The property has severe topographic limitations that consist of a bluff area requiring more additional restrictive setback standards. C. The existing residence has existed on the property for over 40 years prio"r to the development of current shoreland management standards. D. More gentle sloped areas to the rear or north of the property have resulted in structures being placed at a substandard setback from the street but this • has been found to be consistent with the pattern of development for all residential construction along Highwood Road. . _ B. The proposed improvements will not encroach the average lakeshore setback line creating visual impact for existing residences on adjacent properties. F. Hardcover within the 0-75' setback area will be reduced by 1,371 s.f. or 17.7%. 2,510 s.f. or 32% hardcover exists on the property and 1,139 s.f. or 14.7% is proposed. G. � The existing detached garage is located 3' from the side and street lot lines. The proposed garage addition will be located 9' from the street lot line and 71/a' from the side lot line. H. The proposed improvements will not result in the alteration of the bluff � at the lakeside of the residence. I. The existing plantings and vegetation on this property will provide for adequate screening for the expansion of structure closer to the top of � bluff. • Page 2 of 6 Fam5005 UlskOrono i . � . � �� O :.
