I- comments by the applicant and the public, and the effect of the proposed conditional use permit and variances on the health, safety and welfare of the community. 5.The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the conditional use permit and variances would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or diffieulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the 2^ning C(^e and Comprehensive Plan of the City. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based upon one or more of tlie above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a conditional use permit including variances to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Sections 78-348 (3), 78-916 (A) (1-3), 78-1288 (B), 78-1467 (1) (C) to allow demolition of the existing building and construction of a new building requiring a conditional use permit for a religious institution within a residentially zoned area including a hardcover variance to permit 43% hardcover within the 500’-l,000’ zone when 43.8% was originally proposed, 40.6% exists, 43% was approved in 1994 by Resolution #3485 and 35% is normally allowed, and a sign variance in order to permit a sign measuring 8* x 4 ’, or 32 s.f. where only 12 s.f. is normally permitted, subject to the following conditions; 1. Council approval is based on the site plan submitted by the applicant and annotated by City staff, attached to this Resolution as Exhibit A. Any amendments to the site plan which are not in conformity with City codes will require further Planning Conunission and City Council review. 2.
