CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 7215 9. "The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the land is located." The Property's substandard size, lack of road frontage, and the setback of the adjacent homes create difficulties for the owners. 10. "The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant." Granting lot area, lot width, and average lakeshore variances are necessary for the preservation of the Property right of the Applicant. 1. "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 would not be contrary to the intent of the zoning chapter. 11. "The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty." Granting the requested variances in this unique situation would not be contrary to the intent of the zoning chapter. CONCLUSIONS ORDER AND CONDITIONS: Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-350 to allow redevelopment of the substandard lot of record with 0.35 acre in area and 60 feet of width where 0.5 acre and 100 feet of width are required; and a variance from Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1279 to permit construction of a new home approximately 31 feet lakeward of the average lakeshore setback, subject to the following conditions: 1. Council approval is based on the entire record, above Findings. 2. The approved project shall conform to the survey dated 07/29/2021 and building plans submitted by the Applicants and annotated by City staff, attached to this Resolution as Exhibits A & B. 3. Any amendments to the plans which are not in conformity with City codes may require further Planning Commission and City Council review. 4. Authorities granted by this resolution run with the Property not with the Applicants, but are permissive only and must be exercised by obtaining a building permit for the new construction and commencing construction of said project. A building permit must be obtained within one year of the date of Council approval, or the variance will expire on that date (September 13, 2022).
