This application was reviewed as Zoning File #1313. 2. The property is located in the LR-1B Single Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District. . . . 3. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on August 15, 1988 and recommended approval of the proposed variances based upon the following findings: � � -. A) There is an existing patio with deck directly above it, located 27' from the shoreline. The second story deck is . � proposed to be removed, and the portion of the concrete grade- _ level patio nearest the lake will also be removed.

' : , City o� ORONO � • . .� RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL � � NO. 2491 � - • • B) Hardcover in the 0-75' zone on the property is 2,691 s.f. or about 29.6�. Hardcover in the 75-250' zone is about 1,507 s.f. or 5.6�. On an overall lot basis, this property would be allowed a total of 6,750 s.f. of hardcover. It contains a total of 4,198 s.f. of hardcover, approximately 2/3's of which is in the 0-75' setback zone. C) Aesthetically, the proposed screened porch which will be relatively near the existing house and garage as compared to the existing second story deck, will appear less obtrusive in the landscape than the existing configuration. D) There would appear to be no unnecessary hardcover available that could easily be removed to provide a significant decrease of hardcover on the property. . E) Removal of hardcover near the � lake in exchange for an equivalent amound of hardcover further from the lake, even though • both removals and additions occur within the 0-75' zone, in this case are considered as a positive improvement to the property and to the environment since a greater buffer area between the hard- cover and the lakeshore is obtained. 4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicant and the effect of the proposed � variances 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 clo not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the variances 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 applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan . of the City. � CONCLDSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS � Based upon one or more of the findings noted above, the Orono City Council hereby grants variances to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.22, Subdivisions 1 & 2 and Section 10.55, Subdivision 8 to permit the �struction of an enclosed porch and deck additions which will constitute ditional structure and hardcover in the 0-75' lakeshore setback zone where no such structure or hardcover is normally allowed, subject to the following conditions: Page 2 of 5 • � Cit� o� ORONO �<-� � RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCI L �� � NO. 2491 • � • � 1. Hardcover in the 0-75' zone on this property shall be allowed only as follows: House 1,577 s.f. � Front Step 66 s.f. Driveway 193 s.f. New Screened Porch & Upper-Level Deck 487 s.f. Grade-Level Deck/Patio 368 s.f. TOTAL 2,691 s.f. (29.6$) ' The proposed new construction constitutes 200 s.f. of additional hardcover where no hardcover now exists, hence the property owner shall remove a section of the existing concrete patio in an amount of 200 s.f. along the side of that patio nearest the lakeshore. • 2. The 200 s.f. patio hardcover removal shall be completed prior to • footing inspection for the proposed new construction. 3. The applicant is advised that no future hardcover will be approved , for this property, but that any future proposal to add hardcover on . the property might be approved only in conjunction with concurrent . removals of existing hardcover, resulting in no net increase in hard- cover. 4. Authorities granted with this resolution run with the property not with the applicants, but are permissive only and must be exercised by application for a building permit within one year of the date of Council approval, or this variance will expire on that date (September 12, 1989). 5. Violation of or non-compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this resolution shall constitute a violation of the zoning code, shall automatically terminate any authority granted herein, and shal 1 be punishable as a misdemeanor. 6. The undersigned applicant have read, understood and hereby agrees to the terms of this resolution and on behalf of himself, his heirs, successors and assigns, hereby agrees to the recording of this . resolution in the chain of title of the prope�ty. • Page 3 of 5 . . . _ .. � a,_�� ��. . -.. - . , .: , .... ... 4.� _ .-� >;,. , . . , .,�, ._ , � .. _._ .� ._ . _ . - . . - _ . - � d Clt� of ORONO • ; `� RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL � N0. 2491 ' • � • • Adopted by the Orono City Council on this 12th day of September, 1988.
