The applicants originally applied for a variance to construct a 2,160 s.f. building when only a 1,200 s.f. building is allowed, a north side yard setback variance to permit a side setback of 15' when 30' is normally required, and lastly a variance to permit the accessory building to be located closer to the street or front lot line than the principal residence.

The Planning Commission reviewed this application at a public hearing held on September 20, 2004 and recommended approval of the variance to pennit the accessory building to be located closer to the street or front lot line than the principal residence, and denial of the side yard setback and oversized building request,based on the following findings: a. The constraints of the required wetland and septic setbacks. b. The street or front lot line of the property does not function as the front of the lot. c. The platted street right-of-way is currently undeveloped and isn't foreseeable to develop in the future. . d. The lot is secluded by wetlands to the west and railroad property to the north. � e. The lot is heavily wooded. f. A tree line exists to the east providing screening to the most affected neighbor. g. If a building 1,200 s.f. in size were constructed, the need for a north side yard setback variance could be eliminated. , h. Construction of a 2,160 s.f. building could create tlie appearance of a second principal residence and have the potential for unacceptable " uses is a residential zone, such as rental space and a home occupation. 5. The applicants revised their application prior to the October 11, 2004 City Council meeting to comply with the September 20, 2004 Planning Commission recommendation. 6. The City Council finds that the revised proposal, consistent with the Planning Comrnission recornmendation is acceptable based on the finding noted above. ; Page 2 of 6 � � °� 0 0 � CITY of ORONU � �. � ti . ti RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL �L`9�;ESI�Qg'�G NO, � � � � 7. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendation of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicants and the public, and the effect of the proposed variance 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 as�d 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 gra.nts a variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1435 to allow a 1,200 square foot accessory building to be located in the northeastern corner of the lot, in a location where the building will be located closer to the street or front lot line than the principal building, subject to the following conditions: 1. Council approval is based on the site plan submitted by the applicants and annotated by City staff, attached to this Resolution as Exhibit A. Any amendments to the site plan which are not in conforrnity with City codes will require further Planning Conunission and City Council review. 2. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant must submit an opinion letter from his attorney on whether the property owner has the legal right to construct the proposed accessory building. An acceptance letter from the home owner's association would be acceptable in place of an attorney's opiruon. 3. Authorities granted by this resolution run with the property not with the applicants, but are permissive only and must be exercised by obtaining a building permit for the new construction within one yeaz of the date of Council approval, or the variance will expire on that date (October 25, 2005). , ...
