CITY of ORONO <br />RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br />NO. a 4 ft <br />1 ‘ <br />4. <br />5. <br />6. <br />I.The 3’ carport encroachment has no impact on neighboring properties, and <br />if reduced to meet the setback would be significantly less functional for <br />its intended purpose. Further, an existing tree line along the east property <br />boundary will minimize the visual impact of the encroachment on <br />neighboring properties. <br />J.It would be appropriate to grant the conditional use permit after-the-fact <br />for the structural additions. <br />K.The 1970 conditional use permit discussions and preliminary approval by <br />City Council required a 15’ road easement be granted. The survey <br />submitted for the application indicates only a 10 ’ road easement. Planning <br />Commission finds that it would be appropriate to require the applicants to <br />grant the full 15’ road easement as a condition of the current approval. <br />The City Council has considered this application including the findings and <br />recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by staff and comments of <br />the applicants and the affect of the proposed use on the health, safety, and welfare <br />of the community. <br />The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar <br />to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that <br />granting the variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor <br />pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring properties; would not merely <br />serve as a convenience to the applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a <br />demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property <br />right of the applicants; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the <br />Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br />The City Council finds that granting a conditional use permit for the structural <br />additions to this church which exists by conditional use in a residential zone will <br />not be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of the public, would not <br />adversely affect light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring <br />properties, nor will it depreciate surrounding property values and that the <br />proposed level of use of the property will be in keeping with the intent and <br />objectives of the 2^ning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br />Page 3 of 7
