CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 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 area and width variances would not impair health, safety, comfort or morals and would not be contrary 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 width of the Property, as well as the corner lot configuration create practical difficulties affecting the Property; the variances are necessary and will not merely serve as a convenience to the Owner. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS: Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-330 to allow development of the substandard Property; subject to the following conditions: 1. Council approval is based on the entire record, above Findings. 2. The approved project shall conform to the survey dated 03/25/18 by Gronberg and Associates, and building plans submitted by the Applicant and annotated by City staff, attached to this Resolution as Exhibits A & B. 3. Any amendments to the plans which are not in conformity with City codes may require further Planning Commission and City Council review. 4. Authorities granted by this resolution run with the Property not with the Applicant, but are permissive only and must be exercised by obtaining a building permit for the new construction and commencing construction of said project. A framing inspection must be completed within one year of the date of Council approval, or the variances will expire on that date (June 11, 2019). 5. Violation of or non-compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this resolution may result in the termination of any authority granted herein.
