The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on June 2, 1997 and June 16, 1997 and recommended approval of the proposed variance(s) based upon the following unique findings and hardships: A. The zoning lot is .91 acres and does not meet the lot area or width requirements. B. The proposed accessory structure meets the yard setback requirement. C. The height of the principal structure is 11' 6". D. The Zoning Code limits accessory structures to 1,000 sq. ft. on zoning lots less than two acres in size. 4.
