MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 25,2000 (#2596 Brenshell Homes, Continued) Mayor Jabbour stated the hardship is characteristic to the land and the circumstances surrounding it. Jabbour stated the developer could meet all the requirements to build without a variance, but the granting of a variance lessens the impact to the area by reducing the amount of hardcover and the impact to the slopes. Sansevere noted the final plat cannot be approved without the wetland delineation. « Weinberger pointed out the developer is proposing public roads for this development. Flint indicated he is not able to support this application due to the concerns he has regarding Lots 2 and 3 and whether adequate measures have been taken in accordance with Municipal Code, Section 11.30.
