The subject property consists of 22,475 square feet or .51 acres. 3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on March 21, 1988, and recommended approval of the proposed variances based upon the following findings and hardships: A) The predominate, steep topography results in a limited flat yard area and a need to preserve the limited yard area. B) The interior design of the structure and location of view windows would prohibit the attachment of the garage on the east side of the house. C) The location of a mature maple tree within the northeast yard area limits the placement of the structure within the northeast yard area.

The garage in its proposed location will lessen the impact on the neighbor to the east. E) Moving the garage further north provides the much needed turning around area between the house and garage to lessen the • hazards of backing out onto the public roadway, and decreases the element of hazard. F) There is no visual impact along the County road because of the mature dense screening that exists along tMe roadway and the garage will be installed so as not to destroy the existing screening. 4.
