• J �! Vt) 0N. 0 O = *ib- CITY of ORONO ›„ 4%.1- o RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL 9$ES110g' NO. 3 7 6 0 4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicant and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community. 5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based upon the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants variances to Municipal Zoning Code Sections 10.22, Subdivisions 1 and 2; 10.55, Subdivision 8; and 10.56, Subdivisions 16 (C) and (L) to permit the construction of room additions and revisions to the roof structure of the existing house and additions, a portion of which are located in the 0-75' lakeshore setback zone where no hardcover or structure is normally allowed, and grants a variance for hardcover in the 75-250' setback zone for hardcover in excess of the 25% normally allowed, and grants a variance for average lakeshore setback encroachment where no such encroachment is normally allowed, subject to the following conditions: 1. Hardcover in the 0-75' zone shall not exceed the existing 9.1% as shown on the site plan and hardcover worksheet attached to this resolution as Exhibit A. Hardcover in the 75-250' zone shall not exceed 30.25% as shown on Exhibit A. The hardcover removals necessary to achieve this hardcover level shall be completed prior to the footing inspection for the proposed new construction. Applicant is advised that hardcover on the property exceeds the normal limits, and any future proposal to increase hardcover on the property will likely not be approved, but might be approved only in conjunction with the concurrent removal of pre-existing hardcover, resulting in no net increase or a net decrease in hardcover on the property.
