This condition is not applicable. 6. The board or the council may not permit as a variance any use that is not permitted under Orono City Code Chapter 78 for property in the zone where the affected person's land is located.

The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one-family dwelling as a two-family dwelling. This condition is not applicable. 8. The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property. The property's substandard width as well as the existing home create difficulties and are peculiar. 9. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the land is located. The applicant is working to keep the existing home with the proposed addition showing a small 2x6 encroachment into the side yard setback to allow for a landings to an existing stairway. The current property which exceeds city hardcover requirements will be brought into conformance. The existing conditions are unique to this property and the proposed project would bring the overall hardcover for the property closer to conforming to the City regulations. 10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant. Granting to side yard setback variance is necessary for the use and preservation of the property. 11. The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort or morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter. Granting the requested variances in this unique situation is not contrary to the intent of the zoning chapter. 12. The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty. The variance does not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant. The variances are necessary as the property has practical difficulties affecting development.
