This renewal application was reviewed as Zoning File #04-3047. The original application was reviewed as Zoning File #03-2936. 2. The property is loeated in the LR — 1C zoning district, which requires a minimum lot area of `/z acre and a minimum lot width of 100 feet. The applicants' property is .49 acres and has a �vidth of 60 feet. 3. The Plaiuling Commissioi� revie�ved this application at a public hearing held on September 20, 2004 and granted approval of the renewal hardcover and lake setback variance for the 0-75' zone based on the following City Council findings of original 2003 application: a. The nature of the property in the 0-75' zone is steep slopes being supported by retaining walls. b. Currently, the existing lakeshore deck is bolted to a concrete retaining wall which is supporting 8' of eai•th. c, After engineering reviews, the interdependency of the wall on the decic is inconclusive; however, Council action to require removal of the deck may have unintended negative. consequences. Should the deck be required to be removed and detached from the retaining wall, there is the potential that the ret�ining wall may fail, subsequently causing slope failure. d. The existing conditions of the retaining wall and attached deck support the slope. e. Absent the unique conditions noted above, the lakeshore deck would normally not be allowed to remain, as it is a nonconforming structure . and the property is undergoing a complete teardown/rebuild of the principal structure.

The Cit_y Council has considered this application ii�.cluding the findiil�s and recommendation of the Plaiu�ing Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the ap�licants and the public, and the effect of the proposed renewal variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community. 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 zonin� district; that bTc111t1I1b the renewal variance WOLIICl 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 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. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants renewal hardcover and lake setbacl< variailce to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1283 (B) to allow a lakeside deck and adjacent retaining walls to remain in the 0-75' zone, such decic and retaining wall constituting structure and 6% hardcover (excluding allowed stairway access) when no structure and 0% hardcover is normally allotived, subject to the following conditions: l.

Applicants are advised that any future requests to increase hardcover or change the nature of eYisting/approved hardcover shall require City approval, and increases in hardcover wili not likely be approved without concurrent reduction in existing hardcover. 3. Should at any point in time the retaining wall or deck need to be replaced, the �� lalceside decl< must be removed in its entirety and shall not be replaced. Also, the slope must be re-vegetated with plant material approved by City staff in the event that the deck is removed. As allo�ved by Se.ction 78-1282, a 32 square foot ,,,.
