‘i 4. 5. b. The property is served with municipal sewer. c. The existing foundation can structurally support new construction of a two story home. d. A reasonably sized 2-stall garage , when using the existing foundation, could not be located on either the north or south sides of the home without variances. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and reconunendation of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicants and the public, and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community. 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 variance 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 applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicants; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants variances to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-420 Subdivision B to allow a new residence to be constructed on a lot with substandard area and width, and a variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-420 Subdivision B to allow a side yard setback of 24’ where a 30’ setback is required, 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.
