'1 3. 4. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this amendment on March 15, 1999 and recommended approval of the proposed amendment based upon the following unique findings and hardships: The proposed roof line change would raise the roof line. B. C. D. The concrete front stoop is located over a basement. The subject property does not currently meet the lot area requirements. The revised plan would not increase hardcover or structural coverage on the lot. The approved site plan would not be altered by the changes proposed by the applicant. F. The change to the roof design is to alleviate future problems with ice dams. 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. 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. % The plan meets the intent of the approvals granted in 1997, per Resolution No. 3891.
