‘14)-----60 <br /> f; _ CITY of ORONO <br /> 1 \\\ 6., <br /> ,� � 0,01,,,i ,e. „c.) <br /> G� RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> �`�kEA.SII��� NO. 5 F I- <br /> 2. <br /> 2. The property is located in the LR-1B Lakeshore Residential Zoning District,which <br /> requires minimum lot area of 1.0 acres and minimum lot width of 140'. The lot <br /> contains 0.86 acres in area,meeting the 80%rule of Section 78-72(b)(1) for existing <br /> lots of record,but is only 105' in width at the rear of the front yard,not meeting the <br /> 80% rule noted above. <br /> 3. The Planning Commission reviewed this application at a public hearing held on June <br /> 20,2005 and recommended approval of the lot width variance based on the following <br /> findings: <br /> a) The property contained an existing residence structure and detached garage, <br /> which were removed by the owner in April 2003 in order to construct a new <br /> residence on the property. <br /> b) The property is provided with municipal sewer. <br /> c) The lot area of 0.86 acres is sufficient to allow reconstruction on the site, <br /> where a residence has previously existed for many years,without the need for <br /> further variances. <br /> d) There is no land available for acquisition by the applicant to bring the lot into <br /> conformity. <br /> e) The property was granted this same variance via Resolution No.4983 adopted <br /> May 27, 2003 but which variance was never used. <br /> 4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and <br /> recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by <br /> the owner,the applicant 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 it <br /> and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the <br /> variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions,light,air nor pose a fire hazard <br /> or other danger to neighboring property;would not merely serve as a convenience to <br /> the applicant and owner, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or <br /> Page 2 of 5 <br />
