CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 6 8 08 7. "The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one -family dwelling as a two-family dwelling." This condition is not applicable. 8. "The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property." The shape and size of the lot as well as its orientation along the curve of the lake and Shadywood Road create a unique circumstance which is peculiar to the Property. 9. "The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the land is located." The shape and size of the lot as well as its orientation along the curve of Shadywood Road and the lakeshore creates a unique circumstance which is peculiar to the Property. 10. "The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant." Staff finds this condition to be true. 11. "The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort or morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter." Granting of the requested variances would not impair health, safety, comfort or morals and would be in keeping with the intent of the zoning code. 12. "The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty." The size and shape of the Property; its position along Shadywood Road and the lakeshore, limits the access and safety for the homeowners; the variances are necessary and do not merely serve as a convenience to the owners.
