r What is the proposed lowest floor? A. The plans provided by the City do not indicate the lowest floor or lowest opening elevations. This property is located within the Shoreland District of Lake Orono. The 100 year flood elevation for this Lake is 877.0, meaning the �- Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation is 878.0. According to LIDAR elevation for this lot is 882.0. B. If the applicant is proposing to construct a full basement,according to information available the low floor could only go 4ft below the existing grade which would result in the top main floor would be 5'to 6'above the adjacent grade. The recommended 8'privacy fence doesn't provide privacy except to block my windows and my view of their basement. See Attachment E C. The applicant's building plans indicate stairs on the main level going down so it appears they are planning on having a full basement but as I have stated that information has not been provided. What are the proposed elevations? There are no drainage plans provided for this project. Is the applicant proposing to bring in fill to elevate the house? What are the applicant's plans to control stormwater runoff from impacting neighboring lots to the west or the south? Placement of house lot: It is unclear to me why is the City first condition of approval is, "No principal structure can be closer than 20ft to the south property line". To the south there is a detached garage the new house could be placed 10 from this lot line. If my residence is 5'from the shared lot line and the variance requests were granted to allow this house to be 10ft from the lot line there will be only a 15' separation between our houses. What is the proposed impervious surface? iLflas the a pp licant provided calculations on impervious surface? According to your shoreland ordinance Sec 30-2025 2 (a) No more than 25%of the lot can be covered with impervious surface. The information provided by the applicant indicated the house,garage,and a proposed driveway equal to the width of the garage will be approximately 2,529 sq. ft.and will equal roughly 24%this calculation does not include a sidewalk or deck or landings. See Attachment F The third condition recommended by the city is"The variance doesn't apply for accessory structures" if the house, driveway and deck cause this lot to equal 25%impervious surface, how could an accessory structure be built without another variance to impervious surface? Finding.of Facts 1. Is the request in harmony with general purpose and intent of the ordinance? Variance to road: The adjoining house to the south that was part of the original parcel before the property was allowed to be split is the only residence on Upland that doesn't meet the required 30'setback so it is not in harmony with 9 of the 10 homes.See Attachment G Variance to rear lot line: My house was built 1959 prior to the ordinance and required setbacks. We have maintained 10'of land between my east foundation wall. if indeed my house is only 5'from the shared lot line, and the variance request is granted to allow this house to be 10'from the lot line, there will be only a 15'separation between our houses. Not 30'as intended by the ordinance. When staff makes the comment applicant's house would be more it not entirely true i in act my home is 5 or 6'to the property line, then my house is only 4 or 5 feet compliant, t is y f f Y P P Y less than the required setback. The applicant is proposing to be 10'closer than the required setback.
