CITY of OROXO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 3191 4. at that location. Adjacent portions of the house currently exist as near as 44' to the shoreline. The interior layout of the house makes it difficult to expand the kitchen area without encroaching into the 0- 75* setback. c)The proposed second story addition above the existing master bedroom^ which is 60' from the shoreline# will create no additional hardcover and will merely create new structure above the existing footprint. The increase in 0 —75' hardcover as a result of the kitchen addition is 90 s.f. or an increase of 0.3% hardcover in the 0-75' zone. There is no extraneous hardcover in the 0 — 75' zone that could be removed to result in no net hardcover increase. At their October 12, 1992 meeting the City Council determined that no net hardcover increase in the 0-75' zone was justified. The applicant subsequently agreed to concurrent removals of 90+ s.f. of sidewalk in the 0 —75' zone to result in no net hardcover increase above the existing 11.2% level in that zone. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicant and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community. 6.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 applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City.
