CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. ________________________ 5 2. “The use is allowed as an interim use in the applicable zoning district.” Grading to support a residence is permitted in the LR-1A district. 3. “The use will not delay anticipated development or redevelopment of the site.” The proposed grading activity will be conducted in conjunction with the development of the new single family home on the Property. 4. “The use will not be in conflict with any provisions of the city code on an ongoing basis.” The proposed grading activity will not be in conflict with the Code. 5. “The use will not adversely affect the adjacent property, the surrounding neighborhood, or other uses on the property where the use will be located.” This standard requires that the proposed grading and improvements must not substantially impair the use and enjoyment of the properties in the area when compared to the impairment or impact of generally permitted uses. The result of the proposed grading will not change the intended residential use of the Property so there should be no change in the use and enjoyment of adjacent properties resulting from the export of fill materials. However, activity of importing approximately 315 cubic yards of fill and active grading of the Property during construction can have a temporary adverse impact on neighbors. The grading work on the Property as well as the forthcoming construction of the proposed home could result in additional noise, dust, vibration and traffic on the haul routes and immediate neighbors. To the degree possible, negative impacts should be limited and mitigated. 6. “The use will not impose additional unreasonable costs on the public.” The Owner will be responsible for keeping debris off of the public roadways. The noise resulting from the trucks hauling and equipment moving the material in and around the site should be minimized to the extent possible. The grading and construction project will be monitored by the City Engineer, building inspectors, and planning staff so as to minimize nuisances during the project. 7. “The date or event that will terminate the use can be identified with certainty.” The conclusion of the grading activity will coincide with the finalization of the construction of the proposed home on the Property. An as-built survey will be submitted by the Owner to confirm compliance with the approved grading plan at the closing of the permits. 8. “And, the applicant agrees in writing to any conditions that the city council deems appropriate for the use, including a requirement for a financial security to ensure removal of all evidence of the use upon termination, and restoration of the site to prior or better conditions. The conditions shall be set forth in a development agreement between the property owner and
