. Act, 0.4i- <br /> mf - , _ CITY of ORONO <br /> 1,� 3F1 +_ p1 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> `�kES804 <br /> b. A residence has existed on the lot since 1957. <br /> c. If the required 30' side yard setbacks were enforced the lot would <br /> become unbuildable as its total width is only 50'. <br /> d. City requirements of structural coverage, hardcover, average lakeshore <br /> setback, lake setback and building height have been met with the <br /> proposal. <br /> e. Non-conforming hardcover within the 0-75' zone will be removed. <br /> f. A reduction of 10% hardcover is proposed within the 75'-250' zone. <br /> g. An existing non-conforming side yard setback of 6' will be increased <br /> to 10'. <br /> h. There will be an improvement of neighborhood drainage despite <br /> significant natural topography that currently drives water to <br /> neighboring lots. <br /> i. The applicants have an inherent right to develop their property at a <br /> time they so chose. <br /> 4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings <br /> and recommendation of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, <br /> comments by the applicants and the public, and the effect of the proposed <br /> variances on the health, safety and welfare of the community. <br /> 5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are <br /> peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning <br /> district; that granting the variances would not adversely affect traffic <br /> conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring <br /> property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicants, but is <br /> necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to <br /> preserve a substantial property right of the applicants; and would be in <br /> keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive <br /> Plan of the City. <br /> Page 2 of 6 <br />
