-,�;, <br /> i <br /> � � � Cit� of ORONO . <br /> RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> • NO. 2483 <br /> • � • • <br /> I <br /> B) The existing residence structure is located 28' from the <br /> shoreline with a second story deck located 20' from the <br /> shoreline. Existing hardcover on the property in the 0-75' zone <br /> is 30.4$ and in the 75-250' zone is 49.0�. <br /> C) The proposed additional structure includes completion of the <br /> second story over the entire existing house, with a 3-level <br /> addition between the existing house and the garage, p lus a new <br /> second story deck at the northwest end of the house. None of the <br /> additions will be closer to the lake than the existing house and <br /> deck. <br /> D) The applicant's original proposal showed a reduction in <br /> hardcover in the 0-75' zone from 30.4$ to 30.1�, and from 49.0� <br /> to 44.4� in the 75-250' zone. The initial Planning Commission <br /> review of that proposal resulted in direction from the Planning <br /> Commission to further reduce hardcover on the property, hence <br /> applicant returned with a proposal for 30.0$ in the 0-75' zone <br /> and 38.9� in the 75-250' zone. The Planning Commission found <br /> this substantial hardcover reduction to be a positive aspect of <br /> this application and recommended approval. <br /> E) Due to the fact that this property has lakeshore on 2 sides, <br /> � with a relatively small area in the 75-250' setback zone, the <br /> property has some unique hardships in that it could not support <br /> a� additions without variances. <br /> F) The proposed additions will create no significant visual <br /> encroachment of views enjoyed by neighboring property owners, and <br /> will not be visually obtrusive within the landscape due to <br /> the topography within the immediate ly adjacent areas. <br /> 4. The City Council has considered this application including the <br /> findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by <br /> City staff, comments by the applicant and the effect of the proposed <br /> variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community. <br /> 5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this <br /> property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other <br /> property in this zoning district; that granting the variance would not <br /> adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard <br /> or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a <br /> convenience to the app licant, but is necessary to alleviate a demon- <br /> strable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial <br /> ' property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the <br /> spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the <br /> City. <br /> Page 2 of 5 - <br />
