O O O N4CITYof ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL �kESH0 NO. 2980 C) The need for a long driveway contributes to the excessive hardcover on the property, however, extraneous hardcover on the property is intended to be removed to result in a decrease in hardcover on the property from 34.9% (of which 1.1% is landscape rock and plastic) down to 31.2% in the 75-250' zone. 4 . The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff , comments by the applicants and the effect of the variances 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 variances 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 applicants; 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 one or more of the findings noted above, the Orono City Council hereby grants variances to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.22, Subdivision 2 and Section 10.03, Subdivision 15 (F) to permit the construction of a 201x241 , 2 car detached garage located 4.5' from the side lot line where a 10' side setback is normally required and contributing to excess hardcover on the property, amounting to 31.2% in the 75-250' zone where only 25% hardcover is normally allowed, subject to the following conditions: 1. Hardcover in the 75-250' zone is approved at a level of 31.2%. All existing and proposed hardcover approved with this variance approval is recorded in the calculation worksheet and diagram enclosed with this resolution as Page 3.
