CITY of ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 3231 A.A combination of the two parcels will bring the property closer to conforming to 2 acre minimum requirement. B. C. The narrow lots severely restrict development on the combined parcels. The maximum encroachment into tlie side yard setback area will remain the same and hardcover additions within the substandard setback will be limited to 50 s.f. in area. D . The hardcover including all proposed changes is well below the required percentages in all but the 0-75 ’ zone, which will not be intensified. E.Lot coverage for the combined parcel is approximately 2%. 4.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. 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 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. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a variance to the Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.23, Subdivision 6 (B) to permit the construction of additions to the existing home subject to the following conditions: 1.Two parcels, 324 and 332 Westlake Street, must be legally combined prior to the issuance of a building permit for the proposed construction.
