The lot is substandard in area and a residence has existed on the property for <br /> many years. <br /> c. There is no additional land available to bring the lot width or lot area into <br /> conformity. <br /> d. The home on the property is located within the 75' setback accounting for the <br /> level of hardcover within the 0-75' setback. The hardcover variances as <br /> requested are in line with the levels of hardcover variances approved on <br /> rebuild applications with similar lot conditions. The residence with the <br /> proposed addition meets the structural lot coverage limitation of 15%. <br /> e. The applicants are proposing to remove excess hardcover within the 75' — <br /> 250' zone in order to make the hardcover in this zone conforming where it <br /> was previously nonconforming. <br /> f. The proposed structure complies with all side yard, rear (street) yard, and <br /> average lakeshore setback requirements. <br /> 4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and <br /> recommendation of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by <br /> the applicants and the public, and the effect of the proposed variance on the <br /> health, safety and welfare of the community. <br /> 5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to <br /> it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting <br /> the variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire <br /> hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a <br /> convenience to the applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable <br /> hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the <br /> applicants; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code <br /> and Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br /> CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS <br /> Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a <br /> variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1288 to allow 2,015 s.f. (20%) hardcover <br /> within the 0-75' zone where 0% is normally allowed; and 5,460 s.f. (23%) within the 75' —250' <br /> Page 2 of 4 <br />
