The subject site is <br />approximately 12 acres in size, however, the majority of the parcel is on the <br />back side of a very steep drop off. The parcel is zoned agricultural which <br />requires a 50' front yard setback. Due to the lay of the land and the number <br />of large mature trees, the applicant is proposing to construct the garage 42' <br />from the front property line, in an area where no mature trees would have to <br />be removed. The attached June 27, 1995, memo to the Planning Commission <br />explains this request in detail. <br />• <br />S:/Council/V95-4 <br />13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
