1 <br />4. <br />. >■' <br />.IP- <br />5. <br />c. The amount of undeveloped right-of-way in front of the applicant’s <br />property lessens the negative impact of an 8’ rear/street yard setback. <br />d. The existing home currently has a rear/street yard setback of 8’ with <br />the proposed footprint not encroaching any further than the existing <br />one comer. <br />e. The combination of the small land area existing within the 2S0 ’-500 ’ <br />zone and the restrictive buildable area forcing construction of a home <br />on the back 1/3 of the lot, prohibits a reasonably sized from meeting <br />the 30% hardcover limitation in the 2S0 ’-S00 ’ zone. <br />f. The applicant intends on meeting all other Zoning Ordinance <br />requirements with respects to building height, building story, side yard <br />setbacks, lake yard setbacks and structural coverage. <br />The City Council has considered this application including the findings <br />and recommendation of the Planning Conunission, reports by City staff, <br />comments by the qjplicants and the public, and the effect of the proposed <br />variances on the health, safety and welfare of the community. <br />The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are <br />peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning <br />district; that granting the variances would not adversely affect traffic <br />conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring <br />property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicants, but is <br />necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to <br />preserve a substantial property right of the applicants; and would be in <br />keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive <br />Plan of the City. <br />CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS <br />Based upon one or more of the above fmdings, the Orono City Council hereby <br />grants variances to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-330 (B) and 78-1288 (B) to <br />allow construction of a rebuild/addition project or a new residence at an 8’ rear/street <br />yard setback where 30’ is normally required and 8’ currently exists and also a hardcover <br />variance for the 2S0 ’-S00 ’ zone permitting 60% hardcover where 30% is normally <br />allowed and nearly SS% currently exists, subject to the following conditions: <br />Page 3 of 6
