CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 71 89 7. "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. "The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property." The lot shape, and depth, and the home's proximity to the lake are particular to this Property. 9. "The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the land is located." The setbacks of adjacent homes in this neighborhood are somewhat similar to this lot. The conditions specifically impacting the Property (lot depth and shape, home proximity to the lake, and the street frontage on two sides) do not generally apply to the other properties in the LR -1 B district. 10. "The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant." The Applicants indicate that granting the variances are necessary for the preservation of their Property right. 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 variances to allow construction of the proposed addition and deck are not likely to impair health, safety, and comfort. 12. "The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty." The practical difficulties have been met to justify supporting the requested variances. The granting of the variances would not only serve as a convenience.
