CITY of ORONO l«esBO& RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO- a 7 Q y F.The S' side setback has been requested to provide one additional parking space on the property. The Zoning Code requires residential properties to have 2 ofT-street parking spaces. To accommodate a second parking space next to the house, a side setback variance is required because the house is shifted towards the west side property line. The parking stall must be located between the house and side property line due to the shared driveway located behind the house. The driveway is narrow and permanent parking within the driveway area would block through traffic. G. No parking is available on the opposite side of the shaded driveway as the land immediately begins to rise to the elevation of North Shore Drive. H. A typical parking space in a commercial area is 9’ X 20’ in size. The proposed parking area would be approximately 10' X 20*. 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 variances will not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air, nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serv-e 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. 6.The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City Staff, comments by the applicants and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community.
