CITY OF ORONO <br /> RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> 1.111.tik�4. NO. 7344 <br /> • ESHO0" <br /> is unique to the subject property. The ADU exists today. There are no structural <br /> alterations proposed. This is a unique condition to the Property. <br /> B9."The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the <br /> land is located." Many of the lots in the immediate area are smaller than the 1.0 acre <br /> necessary to support an ADU and would not meet the performance standards to an ADU <br /> use. The request to eliminate the nonconforming parcel between the Applicants and the <br /> neighbors the Abbotts and maintain the primary home as an ADU is a unique situation. <br /> B10."The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a <br /> substantial property right of the applicant." The requested variances to the ADU <br /> performance standards will help to maintain Orono's density standards and are <br /> necessary for the preservation of Applicants' property rights. <br /> B11."The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort or <br /> morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter." The granting of <br /> variances to the minimum lot area and shared utility connection standard to permit an <br /> ADU in this circumstance will remove a nonconforming lot from the neighborhood. No <br /> new improvements are proposed which may conflict with the intent of the comprehensive <br /> plan and zoning chapter. <br /> B12."The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but <br /> is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty." The variances for the ADU are the result <br /> of the unique existing conditions, no new improvements are proposed. The variances are <br /> supported by practical difficulties. <br /> CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS: <br /> Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a <br /> variance to Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-1433 to allow an Accessory Dwelling Unit <br /> (hereinafter the "ADU") use on a property 0.73 acre in area where 1.0 acre is required and <br /> independent (not shared) utility connections subject to the following conditions: <br /> Cl.Council approval is based on the entire record, above Findings. <br /> C2.Any amendments to the approvals which are not in conformity with City codes may <br /> require further Planning Commission and City Council review. <br /> C3.Authorities granted by this resolution run with the Property not with the Applicants, but <br /> are permissive only and must be exercised by recording the Subdivision Exception <br /> documents (File #LA21-000078) and new deeds for the properties.
