CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL, NO. 7213 10. "The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant." The Property is located in a residential district but has operated historically as a seasonal camp for children of all abilities. Each specific variance request is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of all campers as has been described above. 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." The use of the Property, along with all other proposed elements in the Camp TEKO Master Plan, are intended to improve the health, safety, comfort, and morals of all users compared to the camp as it currently exists. 12. "The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty." The Applicants have requested the variances necessary to support and improve accessibility and their camp use with minimal impact to the surrounding area.
