FINDINGS
1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File#03-2881.
2. The property is located in the LR-1C Lakeshore Residential Zonin�District,which
requires minimum lot area of 0.50 acre and minimum lot width of 100'. The lot
contains 0.63 acre and has a defined width of 90'.

3. The property contains an existing residence structure and detached garage,comprising
`lot coverage by structures' of 9.3 % where up to 1 S % is normally allowed. The
existing residence, garage, decks, sidewalks, driveways, and other calculable
hardcover on the property totals 354.1 s.f. or 5.2 % in the 0-75' lakeshore setback
zone where no hardcover is normally allowed; 4,998 s.f. or 31.7% in the 75-250'
lakeshore setback zone where only 25%hardcover is normally allowed; and 293 s.f.
or 5.9 % in the 250-500' zone where up to 30% hardcover is normally allowed.
4. Hardcover on the property after proposed additions and equivalent concurrent
removals will not change from the existing numbers and percenta�es in the 0-75'and
250-500' zones but �vill decrease to 4,601 s.f. or 29.1% in the 75-250' zone.
Proposed lot covera�e by structures will be approximately11.3%,well below the 15%
maximum allowed.
�. 'I`he applicants had initiallyrequested a side setback variance to allow the construction
of a first story kitchen addition above an existing basement office room located 1 foot
from the side lot line where a 10' side setback is normally required.
6. The Orono Plannin� Commission revie�ved this application on Apri121, 2003 and
recommended approval of the requested hardcover and average setback variances on
a vote of 7-0, conditioned upon revision of plans to remove the basement setback
encroachment and construct additions meeting the required 10'side setback,limiting
75-2�0' hardcover to no more than the existing level of 4,998 s.f., and encroaching
no further into the average lakeshore setback, based on the following findings:
a) The additions when constructed per the recommended conditions will result
in no loss of existing views of the lake enj oyed by the affected property owner
directly to the south, due to the increased side setback from the existin�
situation and existin� topography and vegetation.
b) The proposal concurrent removals in existing hardcover�vill result in no net
increase in hardcover on the site.
c) The eYistin�basement in the area of the proposed kitchen addition is 1 foot
from the side lot line where a 10' setback is required, and is not structurally
sufficient to support a story above it. This basement must be removed and
• replaced in order for such addition to occur.There is no hardship justification

to allow construction of a first story above a new basement located so close
to the side lot line, as such new construction would result in continued
drainage and access concerns, would increase the longevity of a
nonconforming situation, and would have potential negative impacts on the
adjacent property.
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 applicants' agents,and the effect of the proposed variances on
the health, safety and welfare of the community.
8. 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
variance would 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
a variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Sections 10.22 Subdivision 2 and 10.56 Subdivision
16(L)(2) to allow hardcover in the 75-250'.zone in excess of the 25% allowed by code for the
construction of additions to the existing residence on the property, and a variance to Municipal
Zoning Code Sections 10.22 Subdivision 1(B)and 10.56 Subdivision 16 C(6)to allow encroachment
of the average lakeshore setback �vhere no such encroachment is normally allowed, subject to the
following conditions:
1. Council approval is based on the site plan submitted by the applicants and attached
to this Resolution as Exhibit A. Any amendments to the site plan may require further
