The proposed location of the structure will not require the removal of <br />mature trees within the lakeshore yard. Applicant has agreed to install <br />plantings along east side lot line to minimize visual impact of driveway <br />and side garage door. <br />C. The property exceeds the area and width requirements. <br />D. No other variances are required for the proposed improvement. <br />E. The former residence was also located in front of the average lakeshore <br />setback line. <br />F. The higher elevations and existing mature plantings along the north lot <br />line will minimize impact of lakeshore views of residence at 2684 Casco <br />Point Road. It is also noted that a garage exists to the south side of the <br />residence with no view windows to the lakeshore. <br />4. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar <br />to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that <br />granting the variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor <br />pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely <br />serve as a convenience to the applicant, - but is necessary to alleviate a <br />demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property <br />right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the <br />Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br />5. The City Council has considered, this application including the findings and <br />recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments <br />by the applicant and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and <br />welfare of the community. <br />CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS <br />Based upon one or more of the findings noted above, the Orono City Council <br />hereby grants a variance to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.22, Subdivision 1 (B) to permit <br />the placement of a new principal residence in front of the average lakeshore setback line, subject <br />to the following conditions: <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />Foim 5M ask Orono <br />
