CITY OF ORONO <br />RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br />NO. <br />B9. "The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the <br />land is located. " The standards applicable to this property apply to all otherproperty in the <br />neighborhood, however, in order to be allowed the 35% hardcover that other developed <br />similar -sized lots are afforded, a variance to lot area and width is required <br />1310. "The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a <br />substantial property right of the applicant." The property rights of the owner will be <br />diminished if the lot area and lot width variances are not granted, as the new residence <br />would not be able to have the 35% hardcover that neighboring shnilar-sized lots are <br />allowed. <br />Bll. "The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort or <br />morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter." Granting ofthe area <br />and width variances would not inWair heafth, safety, comfort or morals and would not be <br />contrary the intent of the zoning code. <br />B12. "The granting of such variance willnot merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is <br />necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty." Granting of the variances will alleviate a <br />practical dolculty by allowing theproperty to be developed under the same hardcover and <br />structural coverage aflowances as other sindlar-sized developed lots in the neighborhood <br />CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS <br />Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants <br />variances to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-350 in order to be allowed the Tier 3 <br />hardcover allowance of 3 5% for an existing lot of 7,136 s.f in area and 47 feet in width where the <br />minimum lot size requirements are 21,780 s.f. in area and 100 feet in width, subject to the <br />following conditions: <br />Council approval is based on the survey submitted by the Applicant, attached to this <br />Resolution as Exhibit A.
