. O� �� •4 W <br /> CITY OF ORO <br /> RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> NO. 6492 <br /> 9KFS H OEl <br /> b. The Property is over 800 feet deep with the existing residence structure <br /> located near the rear of the Property, approximately 60 feet from the rear lot <br /> line. <br /> c. The proposed location for the sport court will meet all other pertinent <br /> setbacks. <br /> d. The proposed sport court location is indicated on the survey attached as <br /> Exhibit A. However, minor adjustments to this location are allowed upon <br /> location of the septic drainfield and alternate drainfield and wetland <br /> boundaries provided all other zoning code requirements are still met. <br /> e. Zoning Code Section 78-1435 is intended to prevent obtrusive accessory <br /> buildings within the front yards of urban and rural neighborhoods. The <br /> impact of the sport court located between the house and the street on this <br /> Property in a rural neighborhood of large wooded lots would appear to be <br /> minimal. <br /> f. The Applicants have proposed to locate the sport court adjacent to an <br /> existing tree stand to facilitate screening. <br /> g. The Applicants propose to construct the sport court in an unused portion of <br /> their property between the home and Watertown Road; economic <br /> considerations are not a factor in this variance request. <br /> h. The location of the existing house near the rear of the lot creates a practical <br /> difficulty in that most of the Property area is between the house and <br /> Watertown Road. <br /> i. The proposed accessory structure does not appear to limit the light, air or <br /> open space enjoyed by the adjacent properties. The Applicants' request <br /> results in minimal negative impact to adjacent properties. The location of <br /> the existing home and to on the Property is a unique circumstance not <br /> created by the Applicant. Granting the Applicants' request is in harmony with <br /> the purpose and intent of the ordinance and will not alter the essential <br /> character of the neighborhood. <br /> 5. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and <br /> recommendation of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments <br /> by the Applicants and the public, and the effect of the proposed variance on the <br /> health, safety and welfare of the community. <br /> Page 2 of 5 <br />
